The Islamic presence in Europe is becoming normalised. But integration also leads to increased conflict, according to Oliver Scharbrodt, Lund University’s new Professor of Islamic Studies. Oliver Scharbrodt came to the University last spring after taking up Sweden’s only professorship in Islamic Studies. “I was attracted by the fact that Lund is one of Europe’s classic top universities and that th

A new study by researchers at Lund University, Sweden shows that women can have a considerably higher risk than men of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Using a new diagnostic method, researchers have now shown that the risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease can be twice as high for women as it is for men. This means that female sex may be an independent ri

Everything starts with a gift. Altruism – to give unselfishly so that society will function by sharing your blood is a linchpin of healthcare. At least that is the case in Sweden. In many other countries, voluntary, unpaid blood donations are not the norm. World Blood Donor Day focuses on the important role of blood donors and on ensuring a safe path from vein to vein. The WHO want all blood donat

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

A species of ordinary gut bacteria that we all carry flourishes when the intestinal flora is knocked out by a course of antibiotics. Since the bacteria is naturally resistant to many antibiotics, it causes problems, particularly in healthcare settings. A study led from Lund University in Sweden now shows how two molecular mechanisms can work together make the bacterium extra resistant. “Using this

Off the coast at Haväng, forests several thousands of years old are hidden below the sea. When researchers dive down to examine the well-preserved tree-trunks, they are literally diving deep into human history. Arne Sjöström gets ready for another sea dive. The morning sun is glittering on the calm surface of the Baltic Sea at Haväng in Österlen. Down on the beach, the researchers are preparing fo
