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

Roach that migrate between different lakes and water courses have larger pupils and better eyesight than roach that stay in one place. The adaptation makes it easier for the red-eyed freshwater migrants to find food in murky waters. This is shown in a large study from Lund University in Sweden. Animals’ eyes, just like those of humans, are a kind of window to the world. Eyesight controls important

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A study by researchers from Sweden and Hungary shows that white, painted stripes on the body protect skin from insect bites. It is the first time researchers have successfully shown that body-painting has this effect. Among indigenous peoples who wear body-paint, the markings thus provide a certain protection against

Recent discoveries have shown that it is possible to convert one cell type into another, typically by forced expression of lineage specific transcription factors. That is why MultiPark researchers with expertise in reprogramming gather across research groups. Cellular reprogramming is a new special interest group (SIG) addressing scientific and technological needs to apply these methods in researc

Gene expression inside Parkinson’s disease patient’s brain cells seems to trigger structural changes of the Parkinson-linked protein alpha-synuclein. This was discovered when MultiPark researchers converted skin cells from Parkinson patients into midbrain cells in the dish. The study was published in Acta Neuropathologica Communications. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder lin

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The complement proteins that circulate in our blood are an important part of our immune system. They help identify bacteria, viruses and other harmful organisms, making it easier for our white blood cells to find and neutralise dangerous microbes.

A research study at Lund University shows that there is an association between selenium deficiency and an increased risk of developing heart failure. The risk is twice as high for individuals with low selenium levels. Heart failure is a common condition affecting 250 000 Swedes. In heart failure, the heart cannot pump enough blood into the body, and the disease is associated with a poor prognosis.

The Syrian "refugee crisis" in Europe and the war in Ukraine have highlighted the limitations of traditional asylum systems. It has also highlighted the potential of alternative approaches, such as temporary protection instruments. A new research project, focusing on Ukrainians and Syrians, is being launched to explore the potential of different legal and safe pathways. The project, called "Refuge
