The war in Gaza has caused conflict at universities in Sweden and abroad. Overcoming the differences between protestors and university managements and within groups of employees is likely to take time. We met with both Lund University’s Vice-Chancellor and protestors from the encampment in Lundagård. In this edition of LUM, they share their visions of how to move forward. We have also interviewed

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Flera undersökningar har pekat på att de som dricker mycket kaffe eller te löper mindre risk att drabbas av typ 2 diabetes. Nu bekräftas resultaten i en genomgång av fler än 30 olika undersökningar. Ett internationellt forskarlag har genomfört en så kallad metaanalys, det vill säga de har ställt samman en lång rad u

Japanska vaktlar som utsätts för värmeböljor som kycklingar är bättre rustade att hantera extremvärme när de blivit vuxna än vaktlar som växer upp i kyla. Men det finns ett tak för hur värmetoleranta de små hönsfåglarna kan bli. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. I takt med att klimatet blir varmare och mer oförutsägbart måste fåglar och andra varmblodiga djur anpassa sig. Det sker exe

The quest for cohesion was symbolized by tying the strings together instead of cutting a ribbon. The strings represent different structures that can be formed by different molecules, reminding us of the diversity that enriches our research.

Ludwig Schmiderer has studied how to overcome delivery challenges in stem cell biology with nanotechnology. In this interview, he tells us about his research and generative art. What have you been working with during your PhD studies? At the beginning of my PhD, I was trying to reengineer the CRISPR/Cas9 system to make it work in mitochondria instead of nucleus. The project started off quite well

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

Farming practices that result in higher levels of carbon in agricultural soils could protect both wheat and barley harvests in a future changed climate. This is what emerges from a new study from Lund University in Sweden. However, the practices required are more costly for farmers in the short term, according to the researchers who argue for targeted environmental payments. Ongoing climate change

What made IKEA go against the grain and move into town? This week, IKEA opened a bedroom store in central Stockholm. The store in The Lobby on Regeringsgatan is the latest in a series of smaller, city-centre formats that IKEA is currently testing in various parts of the world. It is an interesting development, at a time when other retailers are moving out of the city. And it represents another imp
