This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Endurance running is often seen as a welcome escape from everyday life. But extraordinary experiences, such as running ultra-marathons, are not untouched by the competitive nature of contemporary consumer culture, a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden argues. The at times romanticized notion of experiencing comp

Half as many diagnosed with depression, a delayed manifestation of Parkinson’s, a reduced risk of developing vascular dementia - but not Alzheimer’s. These connections were discovered by researchers when they compared 200 000 people who had participated in a long-distance cross-country ski race between 1989 and 2010 with a matched cohort of the general population. The results of the population reg

Sociologist of religion Linnea Jensdotter conducts research on the role of religion in politics. She has analysed 20,000 Facebook comments on articles from Sweden’s biggest news sites. Her analysis shows that religion is becoming more politicised. Some comments point to religion to assert “Swedish values”. Others display a genuine interest and a willingness to discuss. “What surprised me was that

The idea that research results should be simplified and related to a media logic when being communicated to the public is challenged in a new report on research communication. “It is just as important, if not more so, to provide an understanding of what lies behind the results – of the knowledge and the methods used,” says organisational researcher Anna Jonsson. She has been involved in the recent

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination – the recipe – for each type of immune cell. Our immune system consists of different typ

In a recently published review article from Lund University researchers have analysed the incidence of caesarean sections in different European countries. The results show that private hospitals in several countries have a higher proportion of caesarean sections than public hospitals, even among women in low-risk groups. The caesarean section rate varied from around 17 per cent in northern Europe

The results from the autumn travel habits survey show that a majority of the University’s staff (approx. 80%) get to and from work by walking, cycling or using public transport. This is a higher percentage than for other large organisations in Lund. However, there is potential for even more people to commute sustainably by investments in public transport and measures to promote cycling on campus.

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos was recently recruited as a postdoc in our lab. He thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. Earlier this spring, he defended

Ett svenskt-amerikanskt forskarteam har nyligen publicerat två artiklar i Journal of Neurophysiology där de med ett nytt modellsystem förklarar ryggmärgens tidiga inlärning och hur centrala nervsystemet lär sig kontrollera kroppen. Det vill säga, hur kopplingarna mellan ryggmärgen och kroppen skapas samt hur andra delar av hjärnan kopplar in sig mot ryggmärgen. – Detta är relevant ur ett djupt gru

Nu är vi ungefär en tredjedel igenom EU:s ramprogram för forskning och innovation – Horisont Europa (2021–2027) – och kan börja se trender över hur det går för Lunds universitet och våra forskare. I universitetets nya forskningsstrategi 2023–2026 är målsättningen att LU ska bli Sveriges främsta deltagare i EU:s ramprogram, såväl sett till antal projekt som beviljade medel.
