One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

If in the future electrodes are inserted into the human brain – either for research purposes or to treat diseases – it may be appropriate to give them a ‘coat’ of nanowires that could make them less irritating for the brain tissue. However, the nanowires must not exceed a certain length, according to new research from

Patients are often asked to rate their feelings using a rating scale, when talking to psychologists or doctors about their mental health. This is currently how depression and anxiety are diagnosed. However, a new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that allowing patients to describe their experience using their own words - is potentially viewed as more precise and preferred by the patients.

In the past week, several reports of the human rights protests in Iran have reached the wider world. Lund University has also been touched by these protests, which have spread and are now visible in the West, on the streets, in social media and the European Parliament, for example. Lund University stands up for and safeguards democracy, freedom of opinion, respect for everyone’s equal value, and h

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. This means you can use bacteria to determine whether someone has just been to the beach, got off the train in the city

Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease make up the world’s most common diseases. A new biobank at Lund University in Sweden - the largest of its kind - with stem cells from both those affected and healthy individuals, will contribute to an increased understanding of how these diseases arise. “The goal is for researchers to be able to develop new treatments that can p

What are opinions, what are facts and what are outright lies? The latest PISA assessment clearly shows that children and young adults have difficulties navigating the fast flow of information in society today. When anyone at all can make their voice heard it also becomes more difficult to recognise misleading information and fake news. Together, actors, performing arts teachers and researchers are

In recent years, RNA molecules, with the ability to affect or turn off pathogenic genes, have become promising drug candidates in several areas. However, it has been a challenge to develop techniques to deliver the RNA molecules into the cells where they have an effect. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a sensitive technique that makes it possible to study the delivery in
