Tumörvävnadens styvhet spelar en roll för hur cancer sprider sig. Dessutom lämnar styv tumörvävnad spår i de drabbade cellerna. Detta visar två nya studier från Lunds universitet. – Detta hjälper oss att bättre förstå hur de mekaniska egenskaperna i tumörens mikromiljö aktivt driver cancerutveckling och spridning, säger Vinay Swaminathan, forskare vid Lunds universitet. Cancer sprider sig inte slu

Ögonläkaren och forskaren Lotta Gränse vid Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus har kunnat visa att ögondroppar med kortison kan förhindra utvecklingen av den mycket allvarliga ögonsjukdomen ROP hos spädbarn. Det har revolutionerat behandlingen och innebär att huvuddelen av barn i södra sjukvårdsregionen med svår ROP inte behöver traditionell behandling i narkos för att undvika svår sy

Opinionsundersökningar känns självklara idag – men deras historia är kort och fylld av debatt. En ny avhandling vid Lunds universitet visar hur Gallupundersökningen blev ett verktyg som förändrade synen på folkviljan och formade både politik och reklam i efterkrigstidens Sverige. Valåret 2026 är i gång och med det ett antal opinionsmätningar fram till valdagen 13 september. Idag är det självklart

I mer än sex år har processen pågått för att EU ska godkänna ett flerårigt och miljövänligt sädesslag med potential att förändra Europas jordbruk i grunden. Att det drar ut på tiden beror på ett förlegat regelverk som behöver ändras, menar forskare. Kernza är ett perennt spannmål med meterlånga rötter som är bra för både miljön och klimatet. Spannmålet, med vete som närmaste släkting, är godkänt i

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab. This is the Science to Schools program, an initiative that began as an idea from PhD student Abigail Altman and has now grown into a collaboration involving Lund Ste

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There is a noticeably nervous atmosphere in the small examination room at the women's clinic. Medical students Caroline Hellsten, Joakim Öhman and Rasmus Hagberg are about to carry out a gynaecological examination for the first time during their studies. However, Marina Larsson Silly, who is today's 'professional pati

An international team of researchers has investigated whether oral insulin can prevent early signs of type 1 diabetes and clinical diagnosis in children with an increased risk of developing the disease. Although treatment with oral insulin could not prevent development of diabetes-related autoantibodies, oral insulin delayed the rate of disease progression in children who developed such autoantibo

What kind of an image of yourself do you present on social media? And why? Carys Egan-Wyer, researcher in Consumer Culture, believes that in some ways leisure time has become a type of work. Showing off the perfect meals, gardens and jogging sessions also says something about us and our time. You probably know what it's like. Despite the burnt pots and sauce all over the stove: a photo of a beauti

In five years’ time, the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts will move into Kockums’ old industrial premises in Varvsstaden in Malmö. Inside the gigantic machine hall, soil remediation is underway. Toxins and oils have to be cleaned up before the construction work can start. Things are moving fast for Sanimir Resić. He joined the Malmö Academy of Music as head of department around 18 months ago. A

The quest to control the remarkable phenomena of quantum physics is ongoing around the world. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is making the subject even hotter. Lund University is also involved in exploring the unknown – and at times mind-boggling – perspectives of quantum states. Mathieu Gisselbrecht, senior lecturer in Physics, leads the way down the basement corridor of the Laser Centre at F

“English is like a membrane between us and reality”. The quote comes from a teacher at a Swedish higher education institution and describes their experience of teaching Swedish students in English. “Today, there are often no educational reasons why a particular course in the first-cycle is taught in English,” says Peter Svensson, senior lecturer in Business Administration at the School of Economic

Emma Kritzberg took the train to a meeting on Mallorca. A journey that took 54 hours and cost double what it would have to fly a couple of hours to the Mediterranean island. Yet, flying was never an option. She has not flown once for work or privately in the last six years, a conscious decision she took to reduce her carbon footprint. Emma Kritzberg, professor at the Department of Biology, stepped

Evaluate employees’ performance differently – it could be a route to achieving a more gender equal university. This according to Rebecca Selberg, associate professor of gender studies. “A better, more holistic perspective on career development is needed,” she says. It is clear that a lot has happened in the area of gender equality at Lund University since women were first allowed to study here 150

Sexual harassment, mental health issues, racism and non-European doctoral students engaged in uphill struggles with the Swedish Migration Agency to be allowed to remain in Sweden. These are examples of the sorts of things that Haro de Grauw has been faced with since becoming doctoral student ombudsman in Lund almost two years ago. Most often, however, it is another factor that makes doctoral stude
