Some blood pressure medications can make the skin extra prone to sunburn. A registry study from Lund University in Sweden shows a possible increased risk of basal cell carcinoma with certain blood pressure medications. The risk increase is relatively low—at most nine percent. “Blood pressure treatment should not be discontinued. But it’s good if doctors inform patients that extra sun protection ma

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden, among others, have developed a more effective technique in the search for clues about dark matter in the universe. They can now analyse much larger amounts of the data generated at CERN. At the CERN research facility, a long series of experiments is underway on protons colli

The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities.  Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu

Gaining access to Brief Admission by self-referral reduced the need for emergency care in adolescents with severe self-harm. The method has previously been introduced for adults, and a study led by researchers from Lund University has now explored whether the method could also be used for children and young people. The results are published in The Lancet Psychiatry. Most children and young people

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

In today's scientific world, microscopic images have become a powerful resource for research. With access to advanced microscopes, researchers can now create unique images of structures and objects. Beautiful and captivating images that can also convey complex context to a wider audience. Microscopic images offer a clear advantage over purely quantitative measurements: they allow us to see the str

All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the

The income and education levels of a child’s environment determine their relationship to nature, not whether they live in a city or the countryside. This is the finding of a new study conducted by researchers at Lund University, Sweden. The results run counter to the assumption that growing up in the countryside automatically increases our connection to nature, and yet the study also shows that na

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be

If you look carefully at Niclas Nilsson’s hands and arms, you can still see the scars from all the injections he has received through the years for his haemophilia, although they have faded considerably since January 2020. That was when he got his last injection. Indeed, since his treatment with gene therapy, Niclas has not needed a single injection. Niclas Nilsson comes from a family of haemophil
