Brief admissions by self-referral can help adolescents with self-harming or suicidal behaviour

Gaining access to Brief Admission by self-referral reduced the need for emergency care in adolescents with severe self-harm. The method has previously been introduced for adults, and a study led by researchers from Lund University has now explored whether the method could also be used for children and young people. The results are published in The Lancet Psychiatry. Most children and young people

A step closer to treatment for severe bacterial infections and sepsis

The development of a new treatment strategy for bacterial infections and sepsis is being led by researchers at Lund University. In a study the researchers demonstrate how they, by mimicking a substance naturally present in the body, can neutralize toxic substances from bacteria and thereby mitigate harmful inflammation that could otherwise lead to sepsis. “Despite decades of research, there are cu

Aggressive brain tumours build protective “sugar shield” to survive extreme stress

For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defence mechanism in aggressive brain tumours: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumour cells and protects them against a particularly destructive form of cell death. Aggressive brain tumours grow in an extreme environment characterised by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, low pH and chronic cellular stress. Insid

Avatar provides live signing on stage in unique project

With enormous eyes, a huge mouth and defined, prominent eyebrows, an avatar in the form of a ghost using sign language in real time takes the stage. During 2022, Riksteatern Crea – one of the world’s leading sign language theatres – and researchers at Lund University Humanities Lab trialled new innovative and creative solutions in order to make the technology work for this multi-dimensional theatr

New Cultural Council stimulates cultural dialogue

Art and culture help us to understand society and ourselves. Lund University, with its artistic and cultural knowledge formation, has a key role to play in this. A new Cultural Council has now been formed to act both as a forum for ideas and a discussion partner in this work. “There are entirely new, fresh eyes that see our cultural richness, that see opportunities and connections associated with

The Vombsjö basin – on the way to becoming a unique new biosphere reserve

The Vombsjö basin in Skåne could become the world's first biosphere reserve integrating the cultural dimension. If the application to UNESCO is successful, the area could become an international forerunner as the first to work with culture in various forms of collaboration with citizens, academia, industry and the public sector. The Vombsjö basin in the municipalities of Eslöv, Lund and Sjöbo in S

Possible substitute for antibiotics to treat dangerous infections

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A recently published paper identifies a new therapeutic target for the treatment of bacterial infections that regulates the immune response. Researchers at Lund University have now found an "off" switch for destructive inflammation in infected kidneys that does not impair the anti-bacterial defense Infections continue

New discoveries on evolution can save endangered species

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Traditionally, the evolutionary development of an insect species has been explained by the notion that the female insect chooses her male partner based on size and other factors, so-called assortative mating. These mating patterns have also been believed to partially explain how the isolation between different species

Sea traffic pollutes our lungs more than previously thought

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New data presented by researchers at Lund University and others in the journal Oceanologia show that the air along the coasts is full of hazardous nanoparticles from sea traffic. Almost half of the measured particles stem from sea traffic emissions, while the rest is deemed to be mainly from cars but also biomass comb
