Do epigenetic changes cause type 2 diabetes, or do the changes occur only after a person has become ill? A new study by researchers at Lund University provides increased support for the idea that epigenetic changes can cause type 2 diabetes. The researchers behind the new findings published in Nature Communications now aim to develop methods for disease prevention. We inherit our genes from our pa

The fight against COVID-19 continues. In Lund, researchers are working to identify a compound that could be used to prevent viral infection, and thus save lives. “This model that has been developed with our collaborators will fill an important gap for current and future drug screening efforts for the upper or lower airways using human airway cells”, says Sinem Tas, associate researcher. The most r

Marie Stissing Jensen, PhD student at Lund University and SASNET grantee, travels Sri Lanka and Nepal to better understand the ecosystem of Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships. They have been deemed vital for realizing the 2030 Agenda goals, due to their perceived ability to overcome ‘silo-thinking’ between sectors – but how and to what extent do they do this, and what exactly are their activities in t

Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) has now received its reaccreditation through both the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) and The Association of MBAs (AMBA). Thereby, the School holds its position in the ranks of top business schools worldwide awarded with a “Triple Crown”. The triple accreditation, or the Triple Crown, is the combination of accreditations held b

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the

You rush into the supermarket; your mother-in-law is coming for dinner. But which products end up in your shopping basket and why? Researchers have previously tracked eye movements to understand which products attract you in a shop. In order to get closer to the truth, they now want to use new computational models in which the brain’s cognitive processes also play a major role. As you stand in the

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Former doctoral student Firas Jumaah and supervisor Charlotta Turner have had a special bond since 2014, when Jumaah and his family got caught up in the first ISIS lightning offensive in Iraq.  Employing far-reaching means, Charlotta Turner managed to get them back to Lund unharmed. Now they have written a book togeth

We need to prioritise nature even if there are other conflicting interests – biodiversity is essential to all of us on the planet and ultimately to our health and wellbeing. The statement comes from Maria Blasi Romero, researcher in Biodiversity and Conservation at Lund University and a member of BECC. “I went to COP15 to learn about the processes and how to share my research with those who can ma

During the pandemic, reports of cheating rose dramatically – by over 100 per cent. The response to this development saw the launch of the pilot project “Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” (Prevent disciplinary offences) which was intended to strengthen the capacity of learning environments to prevent cheating and produce routines and materials for the work going forward. The reason for the increas

Men många patienter är oroliga för biverkningar, främst långvariga minnessvårigheter. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet i studier på möss undersökt om ECT påverkar halterna av proteinet beta-amyloid i hjärnan– det protein s
