That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The forest is currently at the centre of an intense debate. It concerns, in simplified terms, which climate benefits the forest can provide, either by sequestering carbon in standing forest, or by being used to substitute fossil fuels and fossil-intensive materials.

Svetlana Soboleva is set to defend her Ph.D. thesis on 13 April, 2022. For the past few years her world has revolved around red blood cells, as she has worked to establish methods that allow for the generation of enucleated cells, using immortalized erythroid cell lines, to develop erythrocytes. In short, she’s been working to find ways to produce red blood cells in a lab. In this interview she te

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a ne

If we can understand how and why light and matter behave as they do, we are one step closer to solving some of the most fundamental problems in physics. Finding the answers to these questions drives Ville Maisi, Associate Professor of Solid States Physics, Department of Physics. As long as he can remember he has been interested electric circuits and physics. With the support of a new ERC Consolida

A student and I helped set up chicken farms at the schools, which the children took care of. The money they earned by selling the eggs on the markets covered their school fees”. Leif Bjellin.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicio

During his research education, Jonathan Timpka wanted to elucidate what is affecting the ability to work for patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Defending his Ph.D. thesis on November 19th, Jonathan tells about his wide range of projects within the Restorative Parkinson Unit led by Per Odin. Tell us about your Ph.D. research! My research engagement has been quite diverse, ranging from reg

New biomarkers are making it easier to detect Alzheimer’s disease and improve diagnosis, which is increasingly important as new treatments become available. MultiPark researchers are also developing an AI model that could detect several dementia-related conditions from a single blood test. At the same time, MultiPark researchers are exploring how dementia might be prevented, including why brain in

In an infection, there are tens of thousands of peptides that provide a wealth of information about which bacteria have caused the infection and how severe it is. A research team at Lund University has now combined clinical questions with mathematical methods to systematically analyze these peptides. This scientific breakthrough has the potential to transform the diagnosis and treatment of infecti

On April 9, Lund University's Pre-GMP Facility and Skåne University Hospital's ATMP Center - a joint research and development environment where new treatments using cell and gene therapies are developed - will be inaugurated. The aim of the collaboration is to bring research closer to healthcare and make advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) available to more patients. This is joint news fro

Delving into the realm where light and matter converge, Mattias Bertolino's embarks on a theoretical exploration of photoionization. Focusing on multiphoton ionization of noble gas atoms, using a mixture of extreme-ultraviolet and infrared light, he explores the intricate interplay between light and matter. He aims to improve our understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matt

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d
