Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA. In total, 6 600 children at increased risk of developing coeliac disease were f

Brunt fett gör oss inte feta. Tvärtom, det bruna fettet omvandlar den överskottsenergi vi får i oss till värme. Nu har forskare upptäckt ett protein som är viktigt för bildandet av det nyttiga bruna fettet. - Brunt fett konsumerar kalorier för att hålla kroppen varm. Brunt fett bränner vitt fett och det bränner glukos. Så vår idé är att om vi kan kopiera mekanismen kan vi försöka använda den i beh

Höj lägstanivån på utbildningarna vid LU genom att lägga ner för lätta kurser där studenterna inte studerar på heltid. Det är Mats Alvessons beska recept för bättre utbildningar. Mats Alvesson anser att det är dags för högskolan att börja göra något för att höja utbildningskvaliteten. Han är professor i organisationsteori och har ivrigt debatterat utbildningskvalitet under flera års tid. Han anser

Ny forskning från Lunds universitet kastar nytt ljus över interaktionen mellan immunförsvaret och streptokocker, som orsakar både lindrig halsfluss och allvarliga infektioner som blodförgiftning och köttätande sjukdom. Det sätt på vilket antikropparna fastnar på bakterierna är kopplat till hur allvarlig sjukdomen är. Antikroppar är centrala för att vårt immunförsvar ska kunna känna igen och oskadl

En timmes pulshöjande aktivitet minst en gång i veckan och sund kost kan halvera risken för hjärt-kärlsjukdom oberoende av vilken genetisk risk man har. Det visar en ny stor studie av amerikanska och svenska forskare som publiceras i The New England Journal of Medicine. - Det är den första studien som tydligt visar på fördelarna med en hälsosam livsstil även för personer som har en högre genetisk

The university receives around one million emails every day. About 90% of them are unsolicited messages. To mitigate the risks involved, the university will move the email service to a more secure solution. This move has been brought forward due to recent disruptions. The unwanted messages consist of spam, attempts to steal passwords, so-called CEO scams or other unwanted messages. To facilitate t

For many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the health care system was strained already before the coronavirus crisis. Lack of intensive care units and respirators and the difficult economic situation in most African countries limit the resources to combat the pandemic. LUCSUS researcher Karin Steen, who returned from a teaching sabbatical in Zimbabwe when the corona pandemic broke out, share her re

A new study shows that carbon nanotubes used as additives to polymers – to make materials lighter, stronger, and electrically conductive – do not necessarily degrade under the conditions that normally prevail in waste incineration plants. However, if the temperature is increased, or the residence time in the flue gas is extended, they will be destructed. “Contrary to what has previously been thoug

A discussion on semiconductors was on the agenda in Almedalen. The dialogue, hosted by LTH at Lund University, addressed how Sweden can contribute to the efforts being made in Europe. One of the conclusions of the discussion was “the crisper the proposal – the more policy influence”. Semiconductors are a strategically important component of today’s and tomorrow’s society. The technology is needed
