Long-term effective methods are needed to curb the negative effects of coastal erosion. Within the LIFE Coast Adapt project, researchers from Lund University, together with officials from Region Skåne and several coastal municipalities in Skåne, have tested various nature-based methods to contribute to a practice in the field. The project has now come to an end with promising results. In the LIFE

He is checking out at the same fighting weight as when he checked in, and does the same number of push-ups (40!) now as he did then. He has been through several tough rounds and had to fight to defend his convictions and his views on the University’s development. Per Eriksson summarises his time as vice-chancellor as “six years of incredibly great joy, development, pressure and intensity”. There w

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previous research by diabetes researcher Rashmi Prasad has shown

The research quality evaluation, RQ20, is now in full swing. The evaluation-fatigue that project leaders Freddy Ståhlberg and Mats Benner expected to see among their university colleagues has not materialised. “We have encountered a strong engagement and interest!” The 200 or so external advisors for the 32 panels are appointed and the 156 research environments are organised. In January, the self-

Several inaccuracies in historical CPIs in popular online databases have been discovered, according to new research by Jonas Ljungberg at Lund University, published in Cliometrica. This can have major consequences for both research and the decisions politicians make regarding economic policy. Jonas Ljungberg needed access to different European countries' consumer price indices (CPIs) for the last

A large number of lungs donated yearly cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Skåne University Hospital and Lund University have conducted an animal study with results that give hope that more donor lungs could be used to save lives in the future. The researchers have started a pilot study to investigate if the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 190 or

Never before so much data has been produced within life sciences. At the same time, computing power, artificial intelligence and other technology necessary to handle data have been greatly improved. The theme of this year’s WCMM Research Day held on April 12th in Lund, was artificial intelligence (AI) in medical research. A widely discussed topic that has opened up endless amounts of new opportuni

As you probably know, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has granted funding of SEK 20 million to the Program for Academic Leaders in Life Science (PALS). The program is a collaborative effort with the four WCMM Centers, SciLifeLab and the DDLS program and follows the success and track record of the previous WCMM and SciLifeLab collaboration termed NMMP (National Molecular Medicine Fellows Progr

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

Can a reduced intake of gluten during childhood affect the development of coeliac disease (gluten intolerance)? Researchers at Lund University will investigate this question in the new study GRAIN (Gluten Reduction After INfancy and the risk of celiac disease). – We’ve seen in previous studies that the amount of gluten you eat plays a role in the risk of getting sick. In GRAIN, we want to see if w

A hot topic among cancer researchers is vesicles, nanoparticles that flow in our veins in their billions and which have proven to hold information on the health status of the body. Now the hope is to be able to capture and decode the messages in the vesicles via a standard blood test. Thomas Laurell, professor of biomedical engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, was recently appointed as a dis

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle
