En observationsstudie från Lunds universitet som undersökt sockerkonsumtion, har fått stor nationell och internationell uppmärksamhet. Studien visar att sötade drycker har större negativ inverkan på hälsan än andra sockerkällor. De ökade signifikant risken för ischemisk stroke, hjärtsvikt, förmaksflimmer och bråck på bukens kroppspulsåder. Av de 70 000 svenskar som deltog i hälsostudien, blev 26 0

With 10,000 new cases a year, prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in Sweden. To create equal, accessible and high-quality prostate cancer care, Region Skåne has introduced Organised prostate cancer testing, OPT. "Anyone who wants to should be allowed to be tested for prostate cancer. Studies show that early detection lowers long-term mortality", says Anders Bjartell, one of Sweden’s lea

Martino Avallone spent the past four years developing tools for mapping gene expression and proteins in the brain to investigate basic biological questions and to elucidate the molecular mysteries contributing to Parkinson’s disease. On 29 September, he defends his thesis work done in the Molecular Neuromodulation research group. Here, he explains the impact these tools will hopefully have in scie

From internal training courses for university lecturers in which the participants take a deep dive into case method teaching, to dedicated conferences and competitions. The alternatives to traditional classroom teaching are increasing and one of them is known as case method teaching, with stories based on real situations which students must solve in collaboration. April 2019 was high season for ca

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Sanningssökande och vetgirighet sägs vara unikt mänskliga särdrag. “Men grupptillhörighet är viktigare. Vi slutar lyssna till fakta om de nya insikterna äventyrar vår plats i gruppen”, säger Mikael Klintman, professor i sociologi. Men det finns knep att ta till för att göra debatten i infekterade frågor såsom klimat

Det har gått ett decennium sedan världens länder skrev under Parisavtalet. Statsvetaren Fariborz Zelli summerar vad som överraskat – både positivt och negativt – i klimatpolitiken under de senaste tio åren och blickar även framåt. Vilken har varit den största framgången med Parisavtalet hittills?– Jag skulle nog säga att den största framgången är att FN lyckats behålla sin centrala roll i det glob

När världens ledare samlas till klimattoppmöte i Azerbajdzjan den 11 november är det mot bakgrund av flera nya, dystra värmerekord. Så vad kan vi förvänta oss av COP29? Och hur står det till med klimatet? Vi frågade fyra forskare från Lunds universitet. FörhandlingarnaVärlden ska röra sig bort från fossila bränslen.

Most African countries contribute only marginally to the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, Africa is the continent most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The impact varies across the continent and also within individual countries. An improved set of data increases the possibilities for evaluating future risks, and how to best address

Since its foundation, the WCMM research school has encouraged young scientists to exchange ideas and foster collaborations while keeping up with the latest techniques. Delving into its origins, coordinators Paul Bourgine and Nick Leigh reflect on the genesis of the WCMM Research School. As this year marks the fifth anniversary of the WCMM Research School, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on t

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The artist performs, the audience listens and applaud to show their appreciation. These are the given roles during a concert. But what happens if we dissolve these roles and the audience acts in a way that is completely unexpected. Does this change the song? The sound? The communication? This is what an interdisciplin

Unfair, ineffective, and inefficient. These are some of the moral objections to increasing fuel prices in Sweden. A new study from Lund University identifies how social movements are resisting green transition policies through moral reasoning and argues that their concerns must be both recognised and responded to, in order to achieve a low-carbon future. – If politicians want different climate pol

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be

Once again, we are now seeing an increase in the spread of infection, in particular in Europe; this week, the Public Health Agency of Sweden announced new recommendations to avoid crowding, among other things. We are still offering on-campus education but everyone is to avoid crowding and large gatherings. We are carefully monitoring the situation and trying to keep the organisation updated on any

It has been a year ago since bacteria from war-wounded at hospitals in Ukraine were analysed. The study, which attracted a lot of attention, showed that some of the bacteria types had total resistance to antibiotics. Now, the same researchers have examined the infectiousness of the bacteria. "The bacterium 'Klebsiella pneumoniae', which is resistant to all antibiotics, is also particularly aggress

Magdalena Götz, a professor of physiology at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, held the prestigious Segerfalk lecture last year. The discovery she made as a young researcher started the new field of direct reprogramming to replace degenerated neurons. Magdalena Götz was about to start her lab and was in the process of conducting a control experiment. What she observed was unexpected. Rather

As 2025 gets under way, the University, and I dare say the whole higher education sector, has got off to a flying start. The reason for this flying start is, of course, the Research and Innovation Bill that was presented just before Christmas and has since been analysed from all angles. The analysis will continue, as the parts that are still unclear take shape in the Spring Budget or in new direct
