It is Thursday morning and time for the miniature brains to have lunch. The temperature in the cell incubator is a comfortable 37 degrees, perfect for a tiny brain. Anna Falk prepares the nutrient solution that the cells need to grow. These are cells that have made the remarkable transformation from skin cells to stem cells and then to brain neurons. The small model of the brain is called an organ

What happens when you mix a group of tumor biology researchers with software developers and AI researchers? Hopefully, with the help of AI, they can connect a multitude of data that leads to new treatments for kidney cancer – that's at least what the researchers in the EU-project KATY envision. But first, they need to find a common language that all professional groups understand. – It's a challen

The year 2000 was full of change and optimism. The Öresund Bridge was inaugurated, Nokia’s 3310 mobile phone was launched, and it was the golden age of the CD. The millennium celebrations marked the start of a new chapter and at Lund University the decision was taken to establish Campus Helsingborg. The year 2025 will be a jubilee year with a number of celebratory occasions. Since it was establish

Läkare ska hålla så kallade brytpunktssamtal i livets slutskede med obotligt sjuka patienter. Men många gånger ges inga sådana samtal, visar en ny studie vid Lunds universitet. Ett tidsperspektiv skulle kunna hjälpa läkarna att förstå vad patienterna behöver. – Ett ramverk för samtal utifrån år, månader och dagar skulle underlätta för att låta samtal om livets slutskede vara den process det är. De

Work on Lund University's establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. At the end of 2024, the boards of LTH and the Faculty of Science decided not to proceed with scenario 5 – a co-location of the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry in the area – due to cost considerations and the challenges of running education across two sites.The project gro

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A study of the Swedish government formation process 2018-2019 aims to map the sequence of events and summarize what can be learnt from the process and the formal rules governing it. The study aims to answer three research questions: Why did the current government form? Why did it take so long? How did the formal rules work in practice? At the close of the government formation process in January, t

One of the biggest perks of teaching at university? Supervising students and seeing them grow into their role. That is at least according to senior lecturers Olof Hallonsten and Anna Jonsson. Detectives with magnifying glasses and catching and preparing a fish.

Extremely acute vision and the ability to rapidly process different visual impressions – these two factors are crucial when a peregrine falcon bears down on its prey at a speed that easily matches that of a Formula 1 racing car: over 350 kilometres per hour. The visual acuity of birds of prey has been studied extensively and shows the vision of some large eagles and vultures is twice as acute as t
