In recent years, therapeutic antibodies have transformed the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new, efficient method based on the genetic scissors CRISPR-Cas9, that facilitates antibody development. The discovery is published in Nature Communications. Antibody drugs are the fastest growing class of drug, and several therapeu

The virus winter season has struck – and COVID-19 is still part of everyday life. However, unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how it spreads through the air we breathe. Research from Lund University in Sweden shows that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers mapped the infectiousness of the virus in some forty

In a new study, 60,000 Swedish twins were studied. Researchers investigated which role genetic factors play in the development of hand osteoarthritis. The genetic factor seems to be a strong contributor to being diagnosed with hand osteoarthritis when visiting specialist care. In this study, the researchers compared the incidence of hand osteoarthritis diagnosed in specialist care, many times by a

On the 18th April, the town of Armanaz in the north-western countryside of the city of Idlib witnessed an escalation between Hayet Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the hegemonic jihadi group in Idlib province, and Hurras al-Din (HAD), the group believed to be Al-Qaeda’s wing in Syria. Reportedly, tensions escalated after HTS members attempted to expel HAD personnel from their bases in Armanaz. The dispute wa

Valdemar Holt, Department of Political Science at Lund University, has written the essay "Alienation suspected". The essay examines – based on party leader debates in the Riksdag – the Social Democrats' and Moderaterna's views on the concept of exclusion between 2010 and 2022. From the prize committee's motivation: The essay contains an impressive qualitative analysis of how the discourse on the c

The Boards of the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and the Faculty of Science have decided to aim for a more modest establishment in Science Village, i.e. the area between Max IV and ESS. The decision is justified, among other things, by the fact that the Departments of Physics and Chemistry would incur high rental costs if both research and education were to move. So says Annika Mårtensson, assistant
