Yulia Vakulenko grew up in a small Russian town north of the Arctic Circle, today she works at Lund University. When Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, her world was turned upside down. The first thing Yulia Vakulenko says when she meets me on the staircase of her workplace at the Ingvar Kamprad Design Centre, IKDC, is that her sorrow is nothing compared to what the people of Ukraine are being

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

Roach that migrate between different lakes and water courses have larger pupils and better eyesight than roach that stay in one place. The adaptation makes it easier for the red-eyed freshwater migrants to find food in murky waters. This is shown in a large study from Lund University in Sweden. Animals’ eyes, just like those of humans, are a kind of window to the world. Eyesight controls important

Using X-ray and neutron scattering, a team of researchers in Lund has succeeded in mapping the fibril structure of the beta-amyloid 42 protein that contributes to Alzheimer’s disease. The new knowledge could be an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle in the future search for effective drugs. In Alzheimer’s disease, the atrophy of the nerve cells in the brain leads to memory problems and cognitive

The annual event Almedalen Week in Visby is about to begin. Lund University is present and will highlight our global challenges – such as air pollution and food poverty. The program also inspires hope of finding solutions in external engagement between academia and society.

T-cells, antibodies, and antigens. During the past year, we have learned a lot about our immune system through media. Most people agree that the immune system is crucial for our survival. But how does the immune system affect Parkinson’s disease; is it necessary to keep our brains healthy, or does it contribute to disease progression? The answer to that question is unfortunately not straightforwar

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plastic particles in water may end up inside fish brains. The plastic can cause brain damage, which is the likely cause of behavioural disorders observed in the fish.
