For up to 40 years, nearly 800,000 people from Sweden, Norway and Austria have been tracked based on how their BMI and metabolic health – that is, their blood pressure, blood glucose levels and blood fats - affect the risk of suffering from obesity-related cancers. The study shows that those who are metabolically unhealthy are at a higher risk of certain forms of cancer, regardless of their body w

Certain complications during pregnancy bring an increased risk of heart disease later on. However, there is still much to learn about how arteriosclerosis develops between pregnancy and heart disease later in life. A large new study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden shows that narrowing and calcification of the blood vessels of the heart are more common in women previously affected

Lund University and partners have been awarded a grant of € 6 million from the European Commission to develop innovation policies for the cultural and creative industries. New innovation policies are needed to support ecosystems in the sector with better access to funding and incubators so that more ideas can be realised. The ekip project starts 1 June. Complex innovation processes involve many ac

The size of dragonflies and damselflies varies around the globe. These insects are generally larger in temperate areas than in the tropics. According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, this is caused by a combination of temperatures and the prevalence of predators. In a large global comparative study of this ancient order of insects, researchers have studied how body size varies geogra

Small passerine birds, such as blue and great tits, avoid breeding in urban areas where there are many non-native trees. Chicks also weigh less the more non-native trees there are in the vicinity of the nest. This is shown in a long-term study from Lund University in Sweden. City trees contribute to several important ecosystem services such as lowering local temperature and purifying air but are a

Patients are often asked to rate their feelings using a rating scale, when talking to psychologists or doctors about their mental health. This is currently how depression and anxiety are diagnosed. However, a new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that allowing patients to describe their experience using their own words - is potentially viewed as more precise and preferred by the patients.

During the foetal stage, a number of so-called cell programs run that are vital to the development of the foetus. In a study published in Cell Reports, researchers from Lund University demonstrate that one of these foetal programs appears to protect against acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). “We have used an experimental mouse model that always results in this type of leukaemia. The interesting thing

On 13th of February, a transplant of stem cell-derived nerve cells was administered to a person with Parkinson’s at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden. The product has been developed by Lund University and it is now being tested in patients for the first time. The transplantation product is generated from embryonic stem cells and functions to replace the dopamine nerve cells which are lost in the p

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 a warmer climate and a changing agricultural landscape, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. “We risk losing additional bumblebee species, and having less pollination of crops and wild plants”, says

By invading Ukraine, Russia is not only violating international law - it is also preventing people in Ukraine from enjoying the most basic human rights, such as the right to health care, medicine and education. Lena Halldenius and Jessica Almqvist, both professors of human rights and coordinators of Lund University's new profile area Human Rights in a Polarised World, answer four questions about h

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was clearly illegal. Yet it is unlikely that Vladimir Putin will be held accountable. Most people agree that war is morally wrong. But what is the legal framework? The UN Charter, which in 1945 laid the foundations for the UN's missions, powers, rules of procedure and organisation, prohibits military force between states. However, there are exceptions, such as when the

The war in Ukraine has now been going on for a year. The devastation is enormous, as are the human rights abuses. At the moment, most of the talk is about arms supplies and very little about diplomacy. When will be the appropriate time for diplomatic talks?

Does negotiating Sweden's NATO membership mean that the government is prepared to tinker with basic human rights and values? According to two political scientists, there is a risk of this happening. In the summer of 2022, Turkey, Sweden and Finland proposed an agreement that would see Turkey's NATO applications approved. The agreement was signed at a NATO meeting in Madrid. Although Turkey suspend

Runt 15 miljoner barn i världen föds för tidigt, prematurt, varje år. Bland de extremprematura barn som överlever finns stor risk för svåra komplikationer. Ett protein, tillväxtfaktorn IGF-1, har visat sig spela stor roll för den prematura hjärnans utveckling. I en ny avhandling vid Lunds universitet har viktiga transportmekanismer hittats för proteinets väg in i den omogna hjärnan. – Komplikation

Det finns mycket forskning om hur stimulerande medel, som till exempel koffein, kan minska andningsuppehåll hos prematura barn. Nu har Cochrane Sverige, på uppdrag av WHO, granskat och sammanställt en översikt av alla de studier som gjorts för att kunna skapa internationella riktlinjer. Varje år föds omkring 15 miljoner barn för tidigt, prematurt, i världen. I Sverige innebär det runt sex procent

Affektanfall är vanliga hos små barn och är ofarliga. Ändå genomgår barn ofta omotiverade undersökningar när de söker sjukvård. Anledningen är att det saknas både nationella och internationella riktlinjer hur dessa barn ska utredas. Nu har ett forskarteam på Lunds universitet lagt fram förslag på riktlinjer, för att barnen ska få färre akuta och oplanerade sjukvårdskontakter och i stället ett mer

Plantering av syntetiskt DNA, biometrisk utpressning av makthavare och genetisk hybridkrigföring. Det är några av de nya risker som har uppstått genom de forskningsframsteg som gjorts inom genetisk teknologi och kan utnyttjas i modern krigföring. Forskare vid Lunds universitet menar att vi behöver identifiera vilka de mest kritiska riskerna är och diskutera hur dessa kan förebyggas. Det internatio
