Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have discovered higher levels of immune proteins in the blood before and after an epileptic seizure. The possible biomarkers can be identified using a simple blood test. Diagnosing epilepsy is currently resource intensive, and distinguishing it from other conditions can be challenging. Better diagnostic methods as soon as the patient seeks medical care af

I and many others are ambivalent when it comes to the ranking of the world’s universities. But Lund University has made the ranking lists and that does have an impact, at the very least for international marketing purposes. We must be active, rather than passive, in relation to the ranking bodies. Small margins can make a university climb or tumble down the lists, so there is a need to be modest w

Raquel Garza Gómez is a Ph.D. student at Lund University, who will be defending her thesis on January 19, 2024. With a background in computational biology, Raquel's research focuses on studying the role of transposable elements in the human brain. Transposable elements refer to DNA sequences capable of moving from one part of the genome to another. Her research aims to provide a better understandi

(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

If you have ever sniffed yourself dizzy at a perfume counter, you have perhaps also come across claims that pH values, fragrance notes and pheromones affect the scent.

Children in preschool and primary school will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how we humans can protect nature. The collaborative project ‘Natural Nations’ is introducing biodiversity in the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and the natural world was part of general knowledge and was passed down through generations. Today, t

Cycling becomes a lot harder if you don’t oil the bicycle chain! Similarly, you can’t cut metal, turn metal on a lathe or press sheet metal without lubricant. Previously in engineering works there was a flow of lubricant that is hazardous for health and the environment, but now the technology exists to reduce consumption of lubricant. In time, the mineral oils used today may be replaced by vegetab
