By analysing the growth rings from trees that are several thousand years old, preserved in peat bogs, geologist Johannes Edvardsson is creating a unique timeline of Sweden’s historical climate. The buried time capsules also hold clues that could help us to better understand how our forests will be affected by future climate change.  With a screaming noise, the sharp blade of the chainsaw cuts thro

With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year as a result of warmer climate and changing agricultural landscape, new research shows. – The risk is that we will lose additional bumblebee species and have reduced pollination of crops and wild plants, says researcher Maria Blasi Rome

Data gathering for European climate research goes on around the clock at the University’s Hyltemossa research station. The tallest of its two masts reaches as high as 150 metres straight up into the sky. Every other week, the station’s staff must climb to the top of the mast to clean two sensors. Recently, intensive work has been conducted on the lower mast to install equipment to study how the em

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found that the presence of death receptors in the blood can be used to directly measure the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. “We see that people with known risk factors such as high blood sugar and high blood fats also have heightened death receptor levels”, says Professor Jan Nilsson who led the study. Death receptors ar

A large-scale faeces and blood sample study indicates strong associations between gut bacteria and metabolites in the blood. Among other findings, the research team behind the study has identified new associations between a common type 2 diabetes drug and the gut microbiome. The study was led by researchers at Uppsala University and Lund University. The role of the gut microbiome in disease and he

Since Helena Elding Larsson began her career as a diabetes researcher and paediatrician, she has seen many improvements in the care of patients with diabetes. Her own research focuses on the prevention of the development of type 1 diabetes. Helena Elding Larsson is this year’s recipient of the Medeon stipend, and she will be speaking at the World Diabetes Day Skåne event, in Malmö on November 12th

Researchers have identified 395 genes that are differently expressed in people with type 2 diabetes. One of the genes proved to be very strongly associated with impaired insulin secretion. Now, researchers want to investigate if it is possible to use the genetic CRISPR/Cas9 scissors to correct the gene’s activity. The research team’s scientific paper was published in the Journal of Clinical Invest

It is time to summarise 2021, a year in which nothing was the same as before, if a year can ever be like another. For me personally, it has been transformative to take over as vice-chancellor of Lund University together with a new management team: deputy vice-chancellor Lena Eskilsson and the five pro vice-chancellors Per Mickwitz, Kristina Eneroth, Ann-Kristin Wallengren, Jimmie Kristensson and V

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

Inflammatory responses in the brain have long been suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer’s disease, but are challenging to monitor in the living human brain. An international collaboration including researchers at MultiPark, Lund University has made it possible to detect elevated levels of Galectin-3, a protein expressed in the immune cells inside the brain. The results were published in Acta N

At the end of October 2022, the Swedish Medical Products Agency gave the go-ahead for a clinical trial of the stem cell-based therapy STEM-PD for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The cells, generated from embryonic stem cells, have been in development for several years and will now be transplanted into patients with Parkinson’s to replace nerve cells lost due to the disease. The clinical tria

Obesity and excess weight increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but individuals of normal weight can also develop the disease. Researchers at Lund University have discovered that it is possible to identify at-risk individuals by measuring BMI in a new way. The authors of the study have identified metabolic alterations associated with obesity that can increase the risk of developing type
