I oktober 2021 publicerade vi en intervju om arbetet med att ta fram en systematisk Cochraneöversikt om insatser på arbetsplatser för att minska smittspridning av covid-19. Nu är den systematiska översikten klar och publicerad, resultatet överraskade forskarna. Det publiceras miljoner vetenskapliga artiklar varje år, och under pandemin kom det många tusentals som handlade om covid-19. Det är ingen
Vi lever allt längre. Hur ska vi hand om våra äldre? Och hur tar man hand sig själv på ålderns höst? Samtidigt sjunker nativiteten i Sverige och runt om i världen. Vad innebär detta ekonomiskt och demografiskt? Vid Lunds universitet finns många forskare som kan svara på olika frågor om åldrande.

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

A growing body of research shows that diabetes can be stratified into five different subgroups. Researchers at Lund University have now investigated whether a person’s genetic predisposition to different diabetes subgroups can help assess the risk of developing coronary artery disease. The team created genetic risk scores and found that the scores for one subgroup could predict coronary artery dis

Lymphedema after head and neck cancer is considerably more common than previously assumed and can persist long after cancer treatment has finished. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that patients with a low level of physical activity face a higher risk of developing lymphedema. They have also noted that a lymph scanner objectively measures changes in the condition – a method

New research by Teppo Lindfors shows how the sudden collapse of Russian censorship in Finland in 1917 helped spark a revolutionary participation cascade. As radical ideas spread through newspapers and local networks, growing public belief that resistance was possible helped push the country toward civil war.

Science should be able to be reproduced, but in reality, this is a step that is often overlooked. Researcher Burak Tunca at Lund University School of Economics and Management sees several possible measures that could make research better – and more open. “Researchers should always pre-register their studies and be open with their data. That way we can avoid bias and hypotheses being changed during
