Trippelnegativ bröstcancer är en aggressiv typ av cancer som står för cirka nio procent av alla bröstcancerfall i Sverige. Den är vanligare bland yngre kvinnor, har en hög ärftlighetsfaktor och ger oftare återfall tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet än annan bröstcancer. Med helgenomsekvensering har forskare i detalj kartlagt genetiska förändringar i trippelnegativ bröstcancer. Tekniken med sekvensering

Under sex veckor i september och oktober deltog tjugo av universitetets medarbetare som testcyklister på supercykelvägen mellan Södra Sandby och Lund. Resultatet var över förväntan och de flesta av de testcyklister som inte hade cykelpendlat innan förbättrade bland annat sin kondition och sömn. Funderar du på att börja cykla till arbetet i vår? Då kan du inspireras av ett projekt som genomfördes i

Arbetet med internationalisering har blivit viktigare – och mer komplext – de senaste åren. I en värld där demokrati och akademisk frihet är hotad behöver Lunds universitet ta större ansvar för sina internationella samarbeten. Det säger Pär Svensson, internationell koordinator. De senaste åren har fokus på internationalisering, genom det av universitetsledningen initierade arbetssättet Globalt dyn

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

The national 7T MR facility is one of about 100 similar ultra-high field MR scanners for human use in the world. The facility recently underwent a major state-of-the-art upgrade that will ensure that the facility remains at the forefront of ultra-high field MR research, enabling ground-breaking studies across a wide range of fields. Thus, as the national 7T MR facility celebrates its 10-year anniv

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

Can a new neighbourhood be a spearhead for sustainability if it has a huge shopping mall at its heart? And to what extent can urban planning influence the way people live in an area? In her thesis, Agenda 2030 doctoral student Alva Zalar has examined Hyllie in southern Malmö from a norm-critical perspective that interweaves architecture and queer theory. In the early 2000s, the city of Malmö decid

LUCSUS Professor Christine Wamsler recently visited Australia to give the prestigious Dean’s lecture at the Melbourne School of Design (MSD). She was also invited to meet with researchers, practitioners and policy-makers in order to stimulate their work and open up a wider debate on urban adaptation and resilience. - Supporting sustainability and resilience is one of the three focus areas of the U

This year's prestigious Segerfalk lecture will be given by Eero Castrén, Research Director at the Neuroscience Centre at the University of Helsinki. In his research on brain plasticity, he has discovered clues about which mechanisms in the brain are affected by antidepressants – and they could explain why these medicines work. Eero Castrén conducts research on brain plasticity and is primarily int

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

A new research article from the project DICE, Recasting the Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change Extremes, frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of society's ability to maintain a sustainable development. Chad Boda, researcher at LUCSUS, explains how this framing opens up discussions on what should be sustained, and how. It also highlights how different theories of sustai

"Now I dare to rejoice a little", says Sven Lidin, dean of the Faculty of Science. "The uphill task that establishment in Brunnshög had become at times is now much easier, as the whole Department of Chemistry has agreed to join in the move." Another person breathing a sigh of relief is Leif Bülow, who is in his fourth year as head of the department. These years have been marked by extensive discus

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther

We need to prioritise nature even if there are other conflicting interests – biodiversity is essential to all of us on the planet and ultimately to our health and wellbeing. The statement comes from Maria Blasi Romero, researcher in Biodiversity and Conservation at Lund University. “I went to COP15 to learn about the processes and how to share my research with those who can make use of the results

When 1,200 researchers from 60 countries arrived at the end of July, it marked a milestone: the largest academic congress ever held in the city – and the most important event in the field of economic history worldwide. For one week, the World Economic History Congress (WEHC) transformed Lund into a hub for ideas, networking, and public engagement. “I was very nervous right up until Monday morning,
