In an infection, there are tens of thousands of peptides that provide a wealth of information about which bacteria have caused the infection and how severe it is. A research team at Lund University has now combined clinical questions with mathematical methods to systematically analyze these peptides. This scientific breakthrough has the potential to transform the diagnosis and treatment of infecti

Apocalyptic beliefs are as old as humankind itself. So, why are we drawn to stories about the finite nature of everything? A group of researchers is trying to get to grips with the issue. “In fact, we have always been as close to or as far from an apocalypse, if by that we mean a global catastrophe that wipes out or radically alters life. The idea that human life is fragile and can come to an abru

While it is well known that men and women have different health needs, have you ever considered why? The Systems Immunology research group, led by Camila Consiglio, has. Together, Lund Stem Cell Center’s newest members are working to uncover whether the answer lies in the differences between the female and male immune systems. “At the heart of our research is the question: how can we understand th

Sustainability science is about making impact for societal transformations. Building transdisciplinary relationships for the co-creation of knowledge with organisations outside academia is crucial to enact change. New research from LUCSUS identifies key insights for how to create and maintain more successful collaborations. The work is based on five-years of working with the Swedish craft beer sec

To share experiences and improve teaching, LUCA organises the annual LU Case Day conference, where teachers gather to exchange ideas and find inspiration. The Lund University Case Academy (LUCA) was founded in 2012 by faculty members at Lund University as a cross-faculty network to promote case-based and student-centered learning. This year’s event was held in April at the Lund University School o

The metal recycling industry is growing, not least due to the use of metals in green energy electronic components. Researchers at Lund University have examined the inhaled air of workers at 13 recycling companies in Sweden. Among the results, high levels of lead in air and elevated levels of multiple metals were detected in the blood of those who work in recycling. Different forms of metals are in

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s
