(DIABETES) After more than a decade of stagnation, there is a major surge in kidney research effort. New drugs and biomarkers make it possible to detect and slow the progression of the disease earlier – something that long seemed unattainable. This will impact people with diabetes, for whom kidney damage is a serious long-term complication. “We are entering a new era. What is happening now is simi

Scientists have long suspected that changes in the body’s metabolism affect the development of the incurable and fatal neurological disease ALS. Now, for the very first time, a group of researchers in Lund and Australia have identified changes in the disease in ALS patients in the brain cells that produce substances that regulate specifically metabolism and sleep. These findings provide increased

For several years, it has become increasingly clear that developments in tourism need to change direction and be done in a new, more sustainable way. To change the tourism industry, we need to understand it better in practice - how small tourism enterprises are run and developed. - A new way to approach tourism development and innovation is to focus on the individual and mundane aspect, says Stuar

Most African countries contribute only marginally to the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, Africa is the continent most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The impact varies across the continent and also within individual countries. An improved set of data increases the possibilities for evaluating future risks, and how to best address

When you take a dip in a Swedish lake, it is not unusual to find you cannot see the lake bottom. Lake water coloured brown by organic material can be an inconvenience for swimming tourists, but mainly causes problems for the ecosystem and drinking water. Focusing on Lake Bolmen, researchers, public authorities and local organisations are now joining forces in a research project to find methods tha

Cities around the world are running experiments to address climate change and sustainability challenges - from new mobility trials and energy pilots to green space projects and circular economy initiatives. Yet too often, these efforts remain small, isolated, or disappear once funding ends. Researchers from the IIIEE, Professor Kes McCormick and Senior Lecturer Yuliya Voytenko Palgan, have contrib

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

Många av de personer som har genetiska förutsättningar att utveckla förmaksflimmer, med kraftigt ökad risk för stroke som följd, kan upptäckas genom ett blodprov. Det visar ny forskning från Lunds universitet. Över 200 000 svenskar har förmaksflimmer. Antalet drabbade ökar påtagligt, vilket bland annat antas bero på

Ett naturligt ämne från äppelträdets bark har potential att förändra den vanligaste dialysbehandlingen i hemmet. Ämnet blockerar nämligen cellerna från att ta upp glukos från dialysvätskan, vilket effektiviserar vattenborttagning och förhindrar viktökning. Upptäckten som publiceras i Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, markerar ett paradigmskifte menar forskaren och ST-läkaren Carl Öber
