Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment", says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor at Lund University who led

Applying a peptide coating to sutures, capable of combating both bacteria and inflammation, has been identified as an effective strategy to mitigate wound complications following surgical procedures, as revealed by research led by Lund University. The study has been featured as a cover image in the renowned journal Advanced Healthcare Materials.Globally, more than 300 million surgical procedures a

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th

LU managed the transition to digital teaching. But the spring Coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on students in Lund. They found the digital exams to be stressful and sometimes unfair. This is what emerges from the student unions’ surveys whose results have now been compiled. In late spring, seven students’ unions sent out seven somewhat different surveys. 1900 students responded. The questi

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

Last year was the warmest year on record and 2024 is on track to be even warmer. Democracy is in decline and food insecurity is increasing as a result of military conflicts, economic crises and extreme weather. The ability of the United Nations to act globally is significantly weaker than before owing to the geopolitical situation. This comes at a time when we really need international cooperation

Twenty University staff members participated as test cyclists on the super cycle path between Södra Sandby and Lund over a six-week period in September and October. The results exceeded expectations and most of the test cyclists who had not commuted by bike before improved their fitness and sleep. Are you thinking about starting to cycle to work in the spring? If so, you may be inspired by a proje

Do you leave work full of energy and excited about what the rest of the day has to offer? If not – maybe it is worth trying to improve recovery during the working day.  Lina Ejlertsson's thesis is about recovery of staff in one of the most stressful work environments – healthcare centres. She says we have a certain amount of energy that either drains or fills during the working day. "I would like

Different values, cultures and language. Leading an international research group comes with additional challenges. Margareta Sandahl and Charlotta Turner are deliberately developing the emotional expertise in their group. "It pays off in terms of energy, even if it takes time. Furthermore, the doctoral students develop not just as people, but also as future leaders", says Margareta Sandahl. Margar
