On Tuesday, the PhD students who joined SWEAH 2026 met, at Forum Medicum in Lund. They introduced themselves and their research projects, received information about the graduate school, networked and met alumni and PhD students who have been involved with SWEAH for some time. As usual at the graduate school's introductory meetings, a wide range of research projects were presented. This involves co

There were no differences in quality of life, symptoms, hospital admissions or mortality between a group of patients with pulmonary disease and low oxygen levels in the blood that received oxygen therapy at home for 24 hours a day, and a group that received the same therapy for 15 hours a day, according to a study from Lund University in Sweden. “This has considerable significance for patients wit

A groundbreaking study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the Australian Bogong moth uses the stars and the Milky Way as a compass during its annual 1,000-kilometre journey to cool inland caves. It also reveals that the Earth’s magnetic field plays an important role in the enigmatic moth’s navigation. It is absolutely amazing considering the length of the journey. It’s the equivalent of a h

Extreme weather poses a big threat to birds. Yet there is a lack of both knowledge and methods for measuring its negative effects. In a new study, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified knowledge gaps and propose practical tools for analysing the risks to birds. Extreme weather has become increasingly common worldwide, often in the form of combinations of heat and drought. Thes

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has found that more than four percent of all hospital admissions in southern Sweden are associated with sepsis. It is a significantly underdiagnosed condition that can be likened to an epidemic. Now the European Sepsis Alliance has assigned the researchers with mapping the prevalence of sepsis in the rest of Europe. In 2016, the research team conducted

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio

Epigenetiken har gett forskare nya möjligheter att förstå orsakerna bakom typ 2-diabetes och hur sjukdomen utvecklas. I framtiden kan epigenetiska biomarkörer användas för att förutspå sjukdomen och individanpassa behandlingen. Forskare inom diabetes och epigenetik vid Lunds universitet sammanfattar de viktigaste framstegen i en översiktsartikel som publiceras i Nature Reviews Endocrinology. Orsak

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra

A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler
