Children rarely get seriously ill in COVID-19. However, they can suffer from troublesome secondary diseases, the most serious being MIS-C, a hyper-inflammatory condition that often requires intensive care. In Skåne, around 30 children have been affected by MIS-C. Skåne University Hospital is leading the work to care for the affected children and research is also underway on the disease. MIS-C is a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), dopamine-producing nerve cells that control our movements waste away. Current treatments for PD therefore aim at restoring dopamine contents in the brain. In a new study from Lund University, researchers are attacking the problem from a different angle, through early activation of a protei

Two world-leading American researchers known respectively for their research within medical humanities, and the sensory nervous system and perception of pain and temperature have been named honorary doctors at the Faculty of Medicine. The honorary doctorates will be conferred on 26 May 2023. Ever since David Julius’ discovery of the temperature and pain receptor TRPV1, he has contributed crucial d

Can AI think? The short answer is no, at least not in the way humans think. AI does not have incentives, opinions, or empathy. Even two-year-olds possess something that our artificial systems lack – the capacity to think in terms of cause and effect, according to Peter Gärdenfors, professor of Cognitive Science at Lund University. Since ChatGPT was introduced to great fanfare in 2022, the debate a

I det område där ljus och materia möts, gör Mattias Bertolino en teoretisk undersökning av fotojonisering. Med fokus på flerfotonjonisering och dess samspel med ädelgasatomer utforskar han det intrikata samspelet mellan extremt ultraviolett ljus och infraröda fält. Hans mål är att förbättra vår förståelse av de grundläggande interaktionerna mellan ljus och materia genom att reda ut de komplexa fak

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. What if you could take a substance that allows a nasty bacterium to resist the human immune system and develop it into a drug to help people with completely different diseases? It sounds like a fairy tale for medical researchers. Yet this is precisely what is about to happen in Lund. Lars Björck hopes that the enzyme

Japanska vaktlar som utsätts för värmeböljor som kycklingar är bättre rustade att hantera extremvärme när de blivit vuxna än vaktlar som växer upp i kyla. Men det finns ett tak för hur värmetoleranta de små hönsfåglarna kan bli. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. I takt med att klimatet blir varmare och mer oförutsägbart måste fåglar och andra varmblodiga djur anpassa sig. Det sker exe

Ludwig Schmiderer has studied how to overcome delivery challenges in stem cell biology with nanotechnology. In this interview, he tells us about his research and generative art. What have you been working with during your PhD studies? At the beginning of my PhD, I was trying to reengineer the CRISPR/Cas9 system to make it work in mitochondria instead of nucleus. The project started off quite well

Current knowledge of food safety is based on traditional foods that include animal products. Corresponding knowledge of plant-based foods lags behind. “There is a naive belief that plant-based food is safer than animal-based food. Unfortunately, this is not the case,” says Jenny Schelin, a researcher on food safety at Lund University in Sweden. “Plant-based foods are just as vulnerable to the same

Det saknas inte initiativ för att bryta det växande sociala utanförskapet i Sverige. Mer oklart är vad som fungerar. Forskningen hittills visar att “eldsjälar” är en nyckel till framgång. Men är det rimligt att lägga allt ansvar på dem? Sverige, liksom resten av världen, brottas med flera stora samhällsutmaningar.
