För några månader sedan visade LUDC-forskare att det finns en koppling mellan sömnhormonet melatonin och typ 2 diabetes. Det oväntade fyndet väcker många frågor vilka nu ska tacklas med stöd av ett europeiskt forskningsanslag och en speciell mus. - Vi vet nu att melatoninreceptorn har betydelse för diabetesrisken me

Anne L’Huillier, professor i atomfysik, är en av årets mottagare av Wolf Prize – fysikämnets allra mest prestigefyllda utmärkelse näst efter Nobelpriset. Hon får det för sitt forskningsbidrag till ultrasnabb laservetenskap och attosekundfysik. – Jag har inte riktigt landat i detta ännu. Jag har fått priser förut för min forskning, men det här är helt otroligt, väldigt speciellt. Det hade jag inte

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Ingen kirurg ville operera dem annat än om det var absolut nödvändigt – de skulle blöda alldeles för mycket på operationsbordet. Det handlar om en stor släkt i östra Texas där en mystisk blödarsjukdom gått i familjen i flera generationer. Ett svensk-amerikanskt forskningssamarbete mellan Lund och Houston har nu efte

"Ett aktivitetsarmband är ungefär som en Tamagotchi men den som du försöker hålla vid liv är dig själv." Det är budskapet i ett populärt meme som skojar med pulsklockor och andra aktivitetsarmband som blivit alltmer populära att knäppa om handleden. Petra Müllerová, forskare i medicinsk rätt, ser flera risker med utvecklingen. Hälsodata kommer på första plats när det gäller den totala kostnaden fö

This CMES Regional Outlook (2025:2) by Lisa Strömbom focuses on the global responses to the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In February 2025, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into force, briefly easing the intense humanitarian crisis in Gaza after months of devastating conflict. The truce was structured in three phases. The first stage was implemented and included the ex

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state

Many of us have digital maps at our fingertips in our smartphones, but these maps are not adapted to guide us when walking or finding our way in new environments, for example, as tourists in an unfamiliar big city. Creating such maps requires in-depth knowledge about map design which can be further improved by using new technology that can process large amounts of data. “We are collaborating with

Han Somsen has newly been appointed professor in environmental law at the Faculty of Law. He is best known for his recommendation that bird-killing cats should be kept indoors. “Humans see themselves as the kings of the hill, which extends to their cats. If you question this, many people get very angry. I got death threats,” says Han Somsen. Han Somsen’s latest position was as professor at Tilburg

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. To distinguish between education and research as early as the allocation stage of basic government funding does not benefit their intertwining. Nor is it helpful that only research counts if you want to have a good career. “Good teaching initiatives are to be rewarded and teaching should be well-regarded” according to

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what

Presently many of Sweden’s 20,000 Parkinson’s patients are not receiving the treatment they need, and many of the most seriously ill receive incorrect or inappropriate therapy. With the new Manage PD tool and the PD Pal study, Per Odin, professor at Lund University and senior attending physician at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, hopes to be able to improve the care of Parkinson’s patients.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In May, screening for colorectal cancer will be offered in Skåne to all those born in 1961. Subsequently, Swedes aged 60 to 74 will be tested for blood in their faeces, to detect cancer at an early stage. Once all regions in Sweden have introduced the screening, at least 300 lives are expected to be saved per year. Sw

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The research quality evaluation, RQ20, is now in full swing.

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
