Dear staff members, In times like these marked by so much uncertainty in the world, the upcoming festive season is a welcome break, allowing time for reflection and relaxation. It is an impossible task to sum up everything that has happened at a university during a year, but the international context has been a focal point for work at the management level. This year, we have worked to equip oursel

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Death in the form of a skeleton with a scythe is a familiar figure of dread, but death and dying do not have to be frightening. “Death does not have to be marked by fear; it can just as often be characterised by calm and quiet. There can be a lot of joy even during the last days of a person’s life!” Carl Johan Furst.

In the early 1950s, no one knew what caused Parkinson's disease. Then, Arvid Carlsson's discovery of dopamine opened the door to world-leading transplantations for Parkinson's patients. Thanks to the pioneering basic research at MultiPark, stemcell-derived neural cells can now be tested in a clinical trial for the first time. In Parkinson's disease, the nerve cells in an area of the brain that con

Världens äldsta kompletta jaktvapen i trä är ”bara” 200 000 år, inte 300 000 som forskarna tidigare trott. Det visar en datering som Lunds universitet medverkat i. Upptäckten innebär att spjuten härstammar från neandertalarna som bedrev en lömsk och sofistikerad bakhållsjakt.

Läkare ska hålla så kallade brytpunktssamtal i livets slutskede med obotligt sjuka patienter. Men många gånger ges inga sådana samtal, visar en ny studie vid Lunds universitet. Ett tidsperspektiv skulle kunna hjälpa läkarna att förstå vad patienterna behöver. – Ett ramverk för samtal utifrån år, månader och dagar skulle underlätta för att låta samtal om livets slutskede vara den process det är.
