An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20 000 genes in the human body control their growth. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied close to 15 000 of these genes alongside each other. The researchers have succeeded in identifying four key genes which, together, govern the growth and multiplication

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a ne

New research from Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies shows that children’s relationships with nature are not only important for their wellbeing but also for future sustainable forest management. The study also shows that different socioeconomic factors affect children’s experiences of and relationships

How does migration and globalisation shape the lives of individuals in various countries and how does it affect the children of immigrants in terms of integration, identity, and cultural expressions? Do they themselves use the word integration? These questions occupy sociologist Dalia Abdelhady who is about to conclude a study of three populations in the US, in France and in Germany, based on thei

First-born children are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke than their siblings – provided that the number of siblings does not exceed three; then it is the other way around. And people without siblings have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke later in life compared to those who have siblings. These are among the findings of a new population study from Lund University published in BMJ Op

Art and culture help us to understand society and ourselves. Lund University, with its artistic and cultural knowledge formation, has a key role to play in this. A new Cultural Council has now been formed to act both as a forum for ideas and a discussion partner in this work. “There are entirely new, fresh eyes that see our cultural richness, that see opportunities and connections associated with

The winter season virus has struck – and covid-19 is still part of everyday life. But unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how the virus is spread through the air we breathe. Research results from Malin Alsved and Jakob Löndahl show that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers at LTH are behind the study, in which

Eleven research centers across four thematic areas have been awarded funding in Forte's call for Research center grants 2025. Two of these centers will be led from Lund University, focusing on the themes of severe mental illness and women’s health and disease.

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.

For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself. In an article in Nature Electronics, the researchers present a new c

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

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but

De senaste åren har RNA-molekyler, med förmåga att påverka eller stänga av sjukdomsframkallande gener, blivit heta läkemedelskandidater inom flera områden.

Sprutbytet i Malmö startade för 35 år sedan och var då ett kontroversiellt projekt. Fram till 2006 var det förbjudet i svensk lag att bedriva sprutbyte på andra orter än Lund och Malmö. Men forskningen kring smittspridning talar sitt tydliga språk och idag finns sprutbyte på ett flertal platser i Sverige. Här erbjuds en svårnådd grupp behandling och på sikt en drogfri tillvaro.

Med medel från den samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten har Institutionen för tjänstevetenskap genomfört en strategisk satsning med syfte att stärka det internationella genomslaget för forskningen om hållbarhet. Genom mindre och mer fokuserade format har forskarna fördjupat relationer med internationella kollegor och identifierat gemensamma forskningsfrågor. Satsningen byggde på två centrala principer
