New study of babies in Skåne to prevent type 1 diabetes
Can insulin absorbed in small doses through food in early childhood get the immune system accustomed to insulin and thereby delay – or prevent – type 1 diabetes? Researchers hope to find the answer through POInT, a study starting in Skåne this autumn. Newborn babies in Skåne with a high risk of autoimmune diabetes (type 1 diabetes) can take part in the study. The infants from Skåne, together with

The UN’s climate change panel: the world must act now
On Monday, the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a new report on how climate change is impacting nature and people worldwide, and on the necessity for adaptation. According to the researchers, more than three billion people live in environments that are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and the same applies to many species. The researchers establis

Strong progress in cancer genetics
With enthusiasts plus technological developments, a lot of progress can be made in quite a short space of time. This is shown by developments in cancer genetics advice, which is now a natural part of the health service, but which was questioned 20 years ago. The primary enthusiasts were Professor of Oncology Håkan Olsson and Reader in Clinical Genetics Ulf Kristoffersson. At an anniversary symposi

ERC grant awarded to research project on protein motors
Øystein Opedal on receiving the ERC-grant
Øystein Opedal was one of 494 European researchers to receive an ERC Starting Grant for his project “POLLCLIM: Plant adaptation in a changing pollination climate“. As Øystein is a member of BECC, we were curious to know a little bit more about his grant. The ERC Starting Grant is intended for early-career researchers and the only selection criterion is scientific excellence. After undergoing peer

Global study of dark diversity reveals hidden impact of human activities on nature
A new global study shows that in human-disturbed regions, many native plant species are absent from their natural habitats, contributing to the missing so called “dark diversity”. Natural vegetation often lacks many species that could potentially be present, especially in regions heavily affected by human activities, according to a new study coordinated by researchers at the University of Tartu an

Vague career paths to be made clear
Career paths and career-development opportunities for junior researchers vary a great deal between the University’s different faculties. This is what Mia Rönnmar has observed, just over halfway through an investigation which is to result in proposals for how to ensure sound and clear career paths within Lund University. Mia Rönnmar.

MentLife opens doors to research departments at companies
”Not everyone can become a professor, and then it’s good to know how to get a job within the industry”. So says Sandra Capellera Garcia, doctoral student in stem cell biology and member of the network MentLife that promotes close relationships between industry and science. Sandra Capellera Garcia and Michael Wilsterman. The network focuses on students interested in a career outside academia. It wa

Type 2 diabetes and obesity - what do we really know?
Patients with low socioeconomic status experience more symptoms before and after surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) – a compressed median nerve in the wrist
Although surgery is performed with a simple procedure that is performed under local anesthesia, new research by post doc Malin Zimmerman at Lund University shows that socioeconomic factors such as income, education and/or occupation, have an impact on general recovery and outcome after surgery. -The results from my research show that patients with different socioeconomic backgrounds recover and be
