This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Marju Orho-Melander, professor of genetic epidemiology in Malmö, has been awarded Lund University’s Fernström prize. Her research is about genetic variants that are associated with blood lipids and lipoproteins and can therefore increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Many genes exist in different variants.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Threats against researchers are increasing, according to acting chief security officer Håkan Jönsson, who received 16 reports of threats last year. The rise is in online threats, whereas the number of disruptive or violent people on campus is dropping – probably thanks to more locked doors. “But the hidden figures are

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det senaste året har stora epidemier av kikhosta drabbat spädbarn i bl.a. England, USA och Australien. En ny avhandling från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet avslöjar nu att sjukdomen är allvarligare än man tidigare trott och har dödliga konsekvenser senare i livet.

More than 20 years ago, Swedish Professor Susanne Iwarsson and UK Professor Judith Phillips, started collaborating across national borders. When Susanne established the graduate school SWEAH 2017, Judith immediately sent some of their PhD students to some of the courses in Sweden. Soon around 20 SWEAH PhD students and postdocs will visit their counterparts at the University in Stirling, Scotland,

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces. Now she strikes a blow for gardens in the urban planning. Green spaces, such as parks and allotment gardens, have a major impact on our physical and mental health and wellbeing –

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.

Synchrotron radiation helps vision researcher Emily Baird create three-dimensional images of how insects see the world. In the future, this could lead to sighted drones that navigate through the air like insects, without being remote controlled from the ground. “I enjoy research more than anything, and the most fun part is that I am forced to be creative and make constant progress, says Emily Bair

At least a third of the glaciers in the Himalayan range could melt due to climate change. This will have severe consequences for almost 2 billion people, including the village communities in Nepal, since the glaciers are an important water and energy source. Researcher Mine Islar is examining the future of renewable energy through micro-hydro power in Nepal by looking at collective action to find

Med hjälp av en superdatorsimulering har ett forskarlag lyckats följa en galax utveckling under 13,8 miljarder år. Studien visar hur unga och kaotiska galaxer, tack vare interstellära frontalkrockar, med tiden mognar till stabila spiralgalaxer, som exempelvis Vintergatan. Efter big bang för 13,8 miljarder år sedan var världsrymden ett veritabelt vilda västern. Galaxer kolliderade. Stjärnor bildade

Genom dna-analyser av gamla luftprover kan forskare i Lund visa att de nordliga mossornas sporspridning har flyttats fram flera veckor under de senaste 35 åren. Resultaten speglar hur snabbt naturens kalender ställs om i takt med ett varmare klimat. När Försvarsmakten på 1960-talet började samla in luftprover för att registrera radioaktivt nedfall från kärnvapentester, var det knappast någon som t

Efter stroke är det vanligt att man drabbas av både fysiska och kognitiva funktionsnedsättningar som kan påverka förmågan att hantera vardagsaktiviteter, leda till aktivitetsbegränsningar och minskad delaktighet. Rehabilitering med fokus på mobilitet utanför hemmet kan ge personer som drabbats av stroke bättre förutsättningar för ett aktivt och socialt liv. Det menar Emma Carlstedt, sjuksköterska

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har funnit att när genen HLF - som uttrycks i de ännu omogna blodcellerna - inte stängs ner i rätt tid, så leder det till att vårt långsiktiga immunförsvar inte kan bildas. Detta kan i sin tur vara ett förstadium till leukemi. Blodstamscellerna ger upphov till alla våra blodcell
