Malin Parmar, Professor of Cellular Neuroscience at Lund University and Director of the Lund Stem Cell Center, has been elected Vice President of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, the world’s leading organisation for stem cell science and regenerative medicine. The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is an independent, global, nonprofit organization that brings tog
All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the

Coeliac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, has until now been all but unknown in Ethiopia. Yet as more people adopt a Western diet, the number of cases is increasing. “Few people here have heard of coeliac disease, not even among doctors,” says Adugna Negussie Gudeta, a doctoral student at the Department of Clinical Sciences in Malmö, who, together with his supervisor Daniel Agardh, is doi

On 12 December, the Government presented the Research and Innovation Bill entitled “Research and Innovation for the Future, Curiosity and Benefit”. An overall assessment of the Bill shows that it is much more challenging for Lund University than any previous Research Bill. It offers great opportunities for many researchers and different types of research, while stearing research more than earlier

The fact that diabetes rases the risk of certain types of cancer is already well known, but the reasons have been unclear. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped a molecular link that explains the connection between the two widespread diseases. Developing type 2 diabetes is a lengthy process. An earl

Overfishing, hunting and intensive agriculture and forestry can sometimes contribute to plants and animals becoming endangered. New research from Lund University in Sweden and University of Toronto can now show why this leads to entire populations becoming smaller in size, as well as reproducing earlier. The study is published in the journal PNAS. Researchers from Lund and Toronto are behind the s

New article by CMES water researchers in the journal "IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters": Lake Urmia (LU) in northwestern Iran has largely shrunk over the last two decades. The emerged bare, salty soil could turn into a threatening new dust source for the densely populated region around it.

How can we stop global warming? Simple: we need to stop burning fossil fuels. Unfortunately, it is difficult to replace fossil fuels in all parts of society. In this project, we develop laser techniques that can help us understand the how energy is produced when different things burn, which will help developing new, clean biofuels. There are some areas in society where burning things is the best/e
