A computational science hub, COSHE, has been established at Lund University. The aim is to become a creative hub for computational science with a focus on interdisciplinary research in the fields of health, climate and the environment. COSHE works with machine learning, statistical learning methods, physical system modeling and quantum computing. The research groups behind COSHE already have parti

For breast cancer to be fatal, the tumour has to send out metastases to other parts of the body. The cancer cells are spread via the blood vessels, and a research team at Lund University in Sweden has now proven that the protein ALK1 determines the extent of the tumour’s spread in the body. The higher the levels of the protein on the surface of the blood vessels, the greater their permeability to

Lund University has been sliding down the lists of the three main university ranking organisations for several years. Today, we make only one of the top 100 lists, and even then with a mere five places above the 100 cut-off. Daniel J. Guhr is an expert on the importance of these rankings and knows what the consequences can be if the downward trend continues. “Losing a top 100 position in all three

As nuclear power once again takes centre stage in the energy debate, the demand for new knowledge is growing. At Lund University, a new six‑year research project is now being launched to examine what future reactor technologies will mean for the environment, safety and society. Backed by SEK 27 million in new funding from the Swedish Research Council, the initiative will enable researchers to esta

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study confirms that a simple blood test can reveal whether there is accelerating nerve cell damage in the brain. The researchers analysed neurofilament light protein (NFL) in blood samples from patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Recently published in JAMA Neurology, the study suggests that the NFL concentration

Researchers at Lund University have developed a new framework that can lead to the Öresund Link, thanks to the right maintenance at the right time and smart monitoring, having a total lifespan of 200 years. This is twice as long as envisaged when the bridge was inaugurated 25 years ago. The results come from the interdisciplinary research project EXTEND, which is led by Sebastian Thöns and Ivar Bj

In 2022–2023, food prices in Sweden rose by 25 per cent. But it wasn't just households' wallets that were hit hard by the price increases – public health was too. Swedish consumers ate less dietary fibre, fruit and vegetables, according to a new report from Lund University. The text below was originally published as a press release by Amanda Lindström on Lund University’s international website on

Contained within Greenland’s millennia-old ice are the traces of gigantic solar storms. Geology professor Raimund Muscheler is now undertaking a major initiative to chart the storms back through time, to improve our knowledge of potentially dangerous solar flares. Our sun is currently in an active phase which is seeing an increased number of solar storms. During such events, particles from the sun

Can the loss of biodiversity slow down if one exposes its economic value? In a study recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications, the scientists show that among the many thousands of species of bees in the world, only a few species are of economic importance for agriculture. The most common pollinators of crops can be promoted by relatively simple measures in agricultural la
