Vad avgör egentligen hur mycket vi litar på andra? Och hur förändras den tilliten över tid? I sin nyligen försvarade doktorsavhandling i sociologi undersöker Alexander Saaranen just detta, och hans resultat visar att tonåren spelar en större roll än man tidigare trott. Torsdagen den 12 juni försvarade Alexander Saaranen framgångsrikt sin avhandling ”Trust in time” och är nu doktor i sociologi. Avh

När forskare från tre kontinenter samlades på Sociologiska institutionen i Lund för konferensen Crisis, hope, and critical turning points stod samhällets förmåga att hantera och återhämta sig efter kriser i fokus. Med världsledande forskaren Sylvia Walby som huvudtalare och en uppsluppen stämning trots allvarliga teman, blev konferensen en plats för nya insikter, gemensamma intressen och framtida

När covid-19-pandemin bröt ut vände sig beslutsfattare världen över till prognosmodeller och scenarier för att hantera det osäkra läget. Men hur påverkade dessa framtidsbilder strategier och offentlig debatt – och hur vilseledde de ibland? I en nyligen publicerad artikel i tidskriften Social Studies of Science undersöker sociologen Tobias Olofsson hur tidiga pandemiprognoser påverkade policybeslut

Appar som ska hjälpa dig att hantera ångest kan i själva verket göra motsatsen. Sociologen Mikael Klintman varnar för att ständiga notiser och dramatiska budskap riskerar att öka stressen i stället för att minska den. I en artikel på The Conversation beskriver Mikael Klintman hur många appar använder känsloladdade budskap för att hålla dig engagerad. ”Din stressnivå ökar!” är ett typiskt exempel.

After a five-year pause, the Lund Stem Cell Center’s outreach initiative Taking Science to Schools – Borrow a Scientist has returned, once again bringing researchers face-to-face with students across southern Sweden. In March 2025, nine researchers from the Center visited more than 100 students at Malmö Latinskola, Filbornaskolan in Helsingborg, and Söderportgymnasiet in Kristianstad. The sessions

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University have developed a stem cell-based therapy that rejuvenates the aging blood and immune systems in mice without harsh treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. The findings recently published in the journal Nature Communications is a step toward safer, non-toxic treatments for age-related blood disorders and immune decline. As we age, the s

Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leu
