Det är svårt för universitetet att diktera villkor för forskarutbildningen, om man inte är beredd att själv betala för den, säger professor Cecilia L

På senare år har det gjorts stora framsteg i utvecklingen av nya framgångsrika immunterapier för att behandla cancer. Så kallad CAR-T-cellbehandling och behandling med antikroppar är två typer av målriktade immunterapier som har revolutionerat delar av cancervården. Men än kvarstår stora utmaningar med att identifiera proteiner på cancercellers yta som mål för immunterapier. En forskargrupp i Lund

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Bakteriefloran i tarmen har stor betydelse för hur vår kropp tar den mat vi äter. I förlängningen har detta betydelse för om vi riskerar att drabbas av exempelvis hjärt- kärlsjukdomar, typ 2-diabetes och andra sjukdomar som tillsammans kallas för det metabola syndromet.

När Donald Trump nyligen tillkännagav importtullar för stål och aluminium fördömdes han av frihandelsförespråkare över hela världen. Hans belackare menade att den amerikanske presidenten inte förstår att handelsprotektionism skulle innebära en katastrof för världsekonomin. Det må så vara. Men det handlar om samme Trump som också fick massiv kritik när han valde att dra sig ur Parisavtalet. Trump i

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Inom lantbrukssektorn – den största arbetsgivaren för Afrikas fattiga – ägs och kontrolleras tillgångar som mark och boskap huvudsakligen av män. Det kan därför tyckas rimligt att många givare, stater och grupper i civilsamhället menar att en omfördelning av markägandet till kvinnor skulle innebära en stor förbättri

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. "Now I dare to rejoice a little", says Sven Lidin, dean of the Faculty of Science. "The uphill task that establishment in Brunnshög had become at times is now much easier, as the whole Department of Chemistry has agreed to join in the move." Another person breathing a sigh of relief is Leif Bülow, who is in his fourth

When 1,200 researchers from 60 countries arrived at the end of July, it marked a milestone: the largest academic congress ever held in the city – and the most important event in the field of economic history worldwide. For one week, the World Economic History Congress (WEHC) transformed Lund into a hub for ideas, networking, and public engagement. “I was very nervous right up until Monday morning,

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther

Can a new neighbourhood be a spearhead for sustainability if it has a huge shopping mall at its heart? And to what extent can urban planning influence the way people live in an area? In her thesis, Agenda 2030 doctoral student Alva Zalar has examined Hyllie in southern Malmö from a norm-critical perspective that interweaves architecture and queer theory. In the early 2000s, the city of Malmö decid

The national 7T MR facility is one of about 100 similar ultra-high field MR scanners for human use in the world. The facility recently underwent a major state-of-the-art upgrade that will ensure that the facility remains at the forefront of ultra-high field MR research, enabling ground-breaking studies across a wide range of fields. Thus, as the national 7T MR facility celebrates its 10-year anniv

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

This year's prestigious Segerfalk lecture will be given by Eero Castrén, Research Director at the Neuroscience Centre at the University of Helsinki. In his research on brain plasticity, he has discovered clues about which mechanisms in the brain are affected by antidepressants – and they could explain why these medicines work. Eero Castrén conducts research on brain plasticity and is primarily int

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

As nuclear power once again takes centre stage in the energy debate, the demand for new knowledge is growing. At Lund University, a new six‑year research project is now being launched to examine what future reactor technologies will mean for the environment, safety and society. Backed by SEK 27 million in new funding from the Swedish Research Council, the initiative will enable researchers to esta

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new research article from the project DICE, Recasting the Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change Extremes, frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of society's ability to maintain a sustainable development. Chad Boda, researcher at LUCSUS, explains how this framing opens up discussions on what

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play
