Inflammation is a natural reaction of the body’s immune system to an aggressor or an injury, but if the inflammatory response is too strong it becomes harmful. Inflammatory processes occur in the brain in conjunction with stroke and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers from Lu

For the first time, an international team of scientists have calculated the total land area that the countries of the world have included in their individual plans for climate action, known as nationally determined contributions. The results show a big divide between the countries' expected land use and the actual potential of land to mitigate climate change. “By totalling the aggregate land area

Patients suffering from myocardial infarction who receive early add-on lipid-lowering medication have a significantly better prognosis than those who receive add-on treatment late, or not all. Based on the results of a study from Lund University in Sweden, many new heart attacks, strokes and deaths could be prevented. Cardiovascular disease is by far the most common cause of death worldwide, and m

By assigning a barcode to stem cells, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made it possible to monitor large blood cell populations as well as individual blood cells, and study the changes over time. Among other things, they discovered that stem cells go through different stages where their ability to restore immune cells varies. The new findings provide important information for the rese

A PhD programme exploring law and governance in authoritarian regimes across Central Asia has received nearly €4.7 million in funding from the European Commission, with an additional €800,000 contributed by the Swiss Secretariat for Research, Education and Innovation. The initiative aims to provide critical insights into legal and societal structures in authoritarian states. Titled "Sociology of A

People with type 2 diabetes tend to have poorer muscle function than others. Now a research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered that in type 2 diabetes, a specific gene is of great importance for the ability of muscle stem cells to create new mature muscle cells. The findings are published in Nature Communications. “In people with type 2 diabetes, the VPS39 gene is significantly less

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A total of 100,000 newborn babies have now been screened for type 1 diabetes within the framework of GPPAD (The Global Platform for the Prevention of Autoimmune Diabetes), a major European initiative to find children with a high hereditary risk of developing the disease. Number 100,000 was Arthur from Dresden in Germa

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Children rarely get seriously ill in COVID-19. However, they can suffer from troublesome secondary diseases, the most serious being MIS-C, a hyper-inflammatory condition that often requires intensive care. In Skåne, around 30 children have been affected by MIS-C. Skåne University Hospital is leading the work to care f

A 30-year-old genetic mystery has been solved. It has previously been established that touch can trigger stress reactions in plants. However, the molecular models for explaining this process have been quite spartan so far. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found genetic keys that explain how plants respond so strongly to mechanical stimuli. Cracking this code could help lead to hig

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that the appetite hormone CART is regulated by glucose and is found in greater quantity in people with type 2 diabetes. “This could be the body’s own defence mechanism to lower blood sugar levels in case of type 2 diabetes”, says Associate Professor Nils Wierup,

Darknet är en plats som ofta framställs som kriminell, laglös och i behov av extern kontroll. I en ny avhandling visar sociologen Tove Westberg i stället hur kryptoforum på Darknet fungerar som komplexa sociala gemenskaper, präglade av normer, förtroende och informell social kontroll. I dag, fredag den 10 april 2026, försvarade Tove Westberg framgångsrikt sin doktorsavhandling i sociologi vid Lund

Med hjälp av neutron- och röntgentomografi har ett forskarlag, lett från Lunds universitet, undersökt en meteorit från Mars. Tekniken, som förmodligen kommer att användas när Nasa runt 2030 hämtar hem prover från vår röda grannplanet, visade att meteoriten utsatts för mycket begränsad påverkan av vatten. I ett moln av rök landade Nasas fallskärmsförsedda rymdrover Perseverance på Mars dammiga yta

Anledningen var att vården och behandlingen kommer för sent i sjukdomsprocessen, många hade redan komplikationer innan de fick diagnosen. Nu visar ny forskning från Norge att risken för hjärt- kärlsjukdom ökar även vid enb

Till exempel när han hävdade att det är galenskap att göra samma sak om och om igen och förvänta sig olika resultat. Einstein var verksam under första halvan av 1900-talet. Och nu drygt ett halvsekel senare sliter forskare över hela världen sitt hår därför att det så o
