For those who have been following the course of events surrounding pro-Palestinian demonstrations and how tent camps were established on American campuses and then spread to other parts of the world, it will not come as a surprise that such demonstrations have now reached Sweden. A tent camp was set up in Lundagård on Tuesday morning (14 May) and similar camps have been established around other hi

According to our Platform for Strategic Work, we are to endeavour to be an international university and strive to recruit the best staff from all over the world. However, recruiting staff from other countries is complicated. There are many rules and laws to consider if everything is to be done correctly, particularly in the area of migration. I am therefore proud that we offer much appreciated sup

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The most common form of childhood cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Together with Karolinska Institutet, SciLifeLab and the University of Cambridge, researchers at Lund University have conducted the largest ever analysis of ALL at protein level by studying activity in more than 8,000 genes and proteins.

Frontotemporal dementia begins relatively early compared to other forms of dementia. We still know relatively little about what causes the disease, however, new research from Lund University in Sweden shows that the folds in the brain that are formed in the latter stages of pregnancy could have an impact on the age at which the disease takes hold. Those affected by frontotemporal dementia usually

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. I mer än 60 år har metformin varit förstahandsval av läkemedel vid typ 2 diabetes. Det är det äldsta och fortfarande vanligaste medlet. Nu visar amerikanska forskare att metformin även under många år kan förhindra att sjukdomen bryter ut hos patienter med hög risk att insjukna. Det är den stora och långvariga studie

Bakterier utvecklar ständigt nya resistensmekanismer för att motverka effekterna av antibiotika. För att utveckla nya antibiotika som kan övervinna resistensen är det viktigt att förstå hur resistensen fungerar. Med hjälp av så kallad kryo-elektronmikroskopi (kryo-EM) har forskare vid universiteten i Lund och Hamburg upptäckt molekylära detaljer i en viktig mekanism bakom antibiotikaresistens. Upp
På COP29, FN:s klimatkonferens, deltog en av Ekonomihögskolans alumner och vi fick en inblick i arbetet inför och under detta globala klimatmöte. FN:s klimatkonferenser hålls varje år och är världens enda multilaterala beslutsforum för klimatfrågor som samlar nästan alla världens länder. COP29 arrangerades i november i Baku, Azerbajdzjan.

Mer än varannan tonårsflicka blödde rikligt och 40 procent hade järnbrist. Forskningen som är ledd från Lunds universitet visar även att ett enkelt formulär kan användas för att upptäcka unga tonårsflickor med riklig mens som löper ökad risk. Så många som hälften av tonårsflickorna i studien som publiceras i PLOS One hade rikliga menstruationer, och fyra av tio hade järnbrist. Studien genomfördes

Christmas music is more than background noise to the hustle and bustle. From Mariah Carey’s Christmas cracker ‘All I Want For Christmas’ to Wham’s lost love in ‘Last Christmas’, each song tells its own story of why it belongs to the festive season. “The power of Christmas music lies in its ability to put us in touch with our emotions, from celebration to reflection.

Vetenskap ska gå att reproducera, men i verkligheten är ett steg som ofta förbigås. Forskaren Burak Tunca på Ekonomihögskolan efterlyser flera åtgärder för att göra forskningen bättre – och öppnare. ”Forskare bör alltid förregistrera sina studier och vara öppna med sin data. På så vis kan vi undvika bias och att hypoteser förändras under arbetets gång. Det är sunt förnuft”, säger han. Låter ett fo
