When 1,200 researchers from 60 countries arrived at the end of July, it marked a milestone: the largest academic congress ever held in the city – and the most important event in the field of economic history worldwide. For one week, the World Economic History Congress (WEHC) transformed Lund into a hub for ideas, networking, and public engagement. “I was very nervous right up until Monday morning,

Could a simple mineral supplement improve outcomes for heart failure patients? WCMM Clinical Researcher Martin Magnusson is leading a major international study to find out, testing selenium supplementation in over 4,300 patients across Sweden and Norway. Around 250,000 people in Sweden live with heart failure, a condition in which the heart struggles to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A study by researchers from Sweden and Hungary shows that white, painted stripes on the body protect skin from insect bites. It is the first time researchers have successfully shown that body-painting has this effect. Among indigenous peoples who wear body-paint, the markings thus provide a certain protection against

An international study led by Lund University in Sweden has revealed that a small reward of $24 increased the vaccination rate by 4 percent - from 72 to 76 percent. The study involved 8,286 Swedes, and is published in the journal Science. Around the world, there have been numerous examples of incentives for those who have not yet vaccinated themselves against COVID-19. From supermarkets in the UK

Genom avancerade sedimentanalyser har ett forskarlag kartlagt europeiska klimatvariationer under de senaste 60 000 åren. Forskarna kan bland annat slå fast att det förekommit oförklarliga klimatsvängningar som varat mellan 20 och 150 år. I studien som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Nature Geoscience kan forskarna presentera helt nya uppgifter om Europas historiska klimat. Tack vare sed

Genom analyser av borrkärnor från Grönland och Antarktis har ett forskarlag lett från Lunds universitet hittat spår av en extrem solstorm som inträffade för cirka 9 200 år sedan. Det som förbryllar forskarna är att stormen ägde rum under en av solens mer passiva faser, då man tidigare trott att jorden var mindre exponerad för sådana händelser. Solen är en förutsättning för allt liv på jorden. Men

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a faster method to generate functional brain cells, called astrocytes, from embryonic stem cells. Astrocytes play a significant role in neurodegenerative diseases. The new method reduces the time required to produce the cells from months to two weeks, and the study has been published in Nature Methods. “This means that it is now easier than b

The first transplantation of stem cells in patients with Parkinson's disease is almost within reach. However, it remains a challenge for researchers to control stem cells accurately in the lab in order to achieve successful and functional stem cell therapies for patients. - In our preclinical assessments of stem cell-derived dopamine neurons we noticed that the outcome in animal models varied dram

Nicholas Leigh came from the United States to Sweden and Lund University four years ago. In his research, he focuses on salamanders and how they can recreate body parts such as legs, tails and even components of the heart. It was the ability of moose to grow new antlers after shedding that first sparked Nicholas Leigh’s interest in regenerative research. For practical reasons, the choice fell on s

A new study from Lund University in Sweden has shown no correlation between obesity and how close you live to fast food restaurants or gyms. Studies from other countries have previously indicated that these factors may be important in adult obesity. The areas where we live are known to be important for our health. For example, obesity is more prevalent in deprived neighbourhoods. Deprived neighbou
