The University’s work on education has entered an exciting phase, with several important initiatives currently underway. The Education Board has begun work on the Plan of Operations for 2026, which ties in with the University’s revised Education Strategy for 2025-2027. Digitalisation within education and teaching remains a priority. On 11 December the Vice-Chancellor decided on a university-wide A

Researchers at Lund University and DTU in Copenhagen have discovered enzymes in the colon that, when mixed with red blood cells, can cut away parts of the carbohydrates that separate our ABO blood groups from each other. The method brings us closer to the dream of a universal blood for everyone. It has long been known that blood from different individuals cannot be mixed randomly without the risk

För första gången har forskare kopplat specifika defekter i spermier till graviditetskomplikationer och negativ effekt på barnets hälsa. Studien från Lunds universitet visar att DNA-skador på pappans spermier fördubblar risken för havandeskapsförgiftning för kvinnor som blivit gravida genom IVF. Dessutom ökar risken för barnet att födas för tidigt. Ungefär 20–30 procent av alla barn som föds med h

För första gången testas en behandling av typ 2 diabetes som riktar sig mot själva sjukdomsmekanismen, inte som tidigare enbart mot symtomen. Och för första gången används kunskap om den enskilde individens genetiska riskprofil. Behandlingen återställer helt den bristande förmågan att utsöndra insulin som riskgenen

I en studie som nyligen publicerades i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Brain Communications presenterade forskare från Institutionen för klinisk vetenskap och enheten för Klinisk minnesforskning vid Lunds universitet resultat som visar att det finns genetiska riskmarkörer för typ 2-diabetes som kan vara kopplade till en ökad risk för demenssjukdom. Det betyder att en ärftlighet för diabetes också ka

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter. When high-energy light with a very short frequency in
