Extrema väderhändelser såsom översvämningar, stormar, långvarig torka och kyla förväntas bli vanligare i klimatförändringens spår. Hur påverkas naturen och vårt samhälle av extremväder och hur kan vi förbereda oss för framtiden? Som journalist får du gärna kontakta någon av Lunds universitets forskare inom detta område.

By reprogramming tumour cells to become the body’s defenders, Filipe Pereira and his colleagues hope to improve current cancer treatments. Right now, some of the immune system’s most important players, the dendritic cells, are patrolling your body in search of foreign substances. If they find something suspicious, they break it down into smaller pieces, called antigens, which are presented to the

This April, the first national interim report on responsible internationalisation was published. The aim is to create national guidelines and a national support structure for responsible internationalisation. The report is commissioned by the Swedish government and is written by Universitets- och högskolerådet (UHR), Vetenskapsrådet och Vinnova. Tommy Shih and Sylvia Schwaag Serger, both researche

Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric disorder for which there are limited treatment options, and it has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric diagnosis. A pilot study is now underway at Lund University in Sweden, where researchers are investigating whether psychedelic drugs have an effect on young patients with the disorder. Ward Five at the adult psychiatric clinic in Lund is

It is half past three in the morning on one of the last nights of October. Storm Babet is raging and most people are trying to sleep through the sound of the wind, but coastal researchers at LTH are wide awake. Strong winds combined with high water levels are a warning sign for communities on the south coast of Skåne, and that’s where the researchers are heading, to the heart of the action. They a

Research is like solving a puzzle, some might say. One of the biggest of these is the body’s proteins – with over 90,000 pieces to keep track of. LUM meets three professors of protein to understand what makes the subject so fascinating and how they are working to understand when proteins go wrong in the body. If a research field were to be evaluated based on the number of Nobel Prizes it has been

Modern imaging techniques allows researchers to map the structure of the smallest components of cells, such as proteins. By understanding what proteins look like and how they interact with their surroundings, researchers can find keys to more effective drug therapies. In a study led from Lund University, researchers have mapped the structure of a channel in the cell membrane that regulates the tra

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Using magnetically controlled nanoparticles to force tumour cells to ‘commit suicide’ sounds like science fiction, but could be a future part of cancer treatment. “The clever thing about the technique is that we can target selected cells without harming surrounding tissue”, said Professor Erik Renström from Lund Unive

A combination of two imaging methods can be used to achieve structural and chemical information within a single neuron. Researchers from MultiPark at Lund University recently developed this approach. Their study reveals that amyloid aggregates, implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, may cause clustering of iron in primary neurons. Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of dementia. Understanding where a
Anders Christensson, Anna Åkesson and Anders Grubb and collaborators have been awarded the Eldjarn prize 2024 for significant research efforts in kidney diseases.

What if ordinary skin cells could be effectively reprogrammed to become brain cells and help with diseases like Alzheimer's? And what if machine learning allowed surgeons to precisely remove tumour cells on the operating table? These are the areas of research that Emil Andersson has been exploring to get closer to a solution. He successfully defended his PhD in computational biology at CEC. His th

On Friday, February 28, Monica Porzionato defended her thesis "Feeling the changing climate: An affective approach to the strategic communication of floods in a tourist city". Strategic communication studies usually consider emotions as psychological effects of communication or as an influence on people's understanding of an issue. In the first case, emotions like joy or desire result from strateg

Att fånga in koldioxid från atmosfären lyfts fram som en alltmer avgörande metod för att stoppa den globala uppvärmningen och nå klimatmålen. Men hur fungerar egentligen minusutsläpp och vilka tekniker handlar det om?

Sötpotatis kan bli en vanlig gröda i Sverige om några forskare får som de vill. Just nu utvecklar de sorter för svenskt klimat. Forskarna efterlyser också hobbyodlare som vill testodla olika varianter – redan i vår. Den är nyttig, lättodlad, har hög avkastning, kan ge bra intäkter och saknar skadedjur i Sverige.
