This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Fifty per cent of all pregnant women in need of a C-section are unable to get one. Most people around the world still do not have access to safe surgery, resulting in millions of deaths and disabilities each year. As a paediatric surgeon, Lars Hagander wanted to find ways to help, and has travelled the world to perfor

Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research. Since its establishment as a strategic research centre, the Lund Stem Cell Center has become one of the strongest

How long does it take to comfort someone? Does an egg need to be fried rather than boiled? LUM invited home care researchers from the School of Social Work and the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) for a conversation. They are meeting for the first time; their discussions cover stress, responsibility and participation. Their common goal is better home care, but they approach the issue from different pe

Strong external pressure is needed to stop the violence between Israel and Hamas, which  has harvested immense humanitarian suffering on both sides. And it must happen quickly, according to Peace and conflict researcher Lisa Strömbom. The UN warns of full-scale war if the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate. Hundreds, many of them children, have been killed in the attac

Informal networking, panel discussion, and Q&A session. During the forum for LTH's employees last week, Dean Annika Olsson highlighted a selection of recent good news from LTH. The management also discussed some of the key issues for the coming years – including strategic recruitment and the fact that, despite major successes, LTH cannot rest on its laurels in the competition for large grants.

How can the Nordics ensure that world-leading research in cell and gene therapy reaches patients faster? This question brought 150 researchers, clinicians, companies, and ecosystem actors to Lund for the conference Finding the Path to the Patient – ATMP Development in Skåne and Beyond. The message was clear: without early collaboration between research, manufacturing, and clinical practice, promis

Long life is common among bird parents that get help with childcare. This finding comes from researchers at the universities of Lund and Oxford who reviewed data from more than 9,000 studies. Being a parent can be tough. In general, animals that care for many offspring die young, at least in species where parents are not helped by others. However, in some species things are different and parents r

For the first time, researchers have been able to prove that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky. Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient themselves. The findings are published in Current Biology. Some animals, including migratory birds, seals and moths, use light from the moon, stars and Milky Wa
