Stem cell transplants for Parkinson’s disease edging closer

A major breakthrough in the development of stem cell-derived brain cells has put researchers on a firm path towards the first ever stem cell transplantations in people with Parkinson’s disease. A new study presents the next generation of transplantable dopamine neurons produced from stem cells. These cells carry the same properties as the dopamine neurons found in the human brain.

Lund marine archaeologist leads WWII pilot recovery

A World War II pilot has been laid to rest in his hometown in Maine, following a complex recovery mission led by Lund University archaeologist Brendan Foley. US Army Air Forces 2nd Lt. Ernest N. Vienneau was on a B-17 bomber that came under attack in 1944, and sank off the coast of Croatia. 77 years later, he has been brought home.

Supporting African cities in addressing climate-related displacement

In a spirit of collaboration and commitment, Lund University's programme 'Human Rights and Gender Equality in Climate and Disaster Displacement' has reached its culmination. The programme's final workshop, held in Uganda on August 21-22, served as a dynamic platform for participants from Freetown, Kampala, and Nairobi to present their transformative City Profiles. These profiles encapsulate their

Marine worm with outstanding vision fascinates researchers

The large-eyed bristle worm Vanadis has long been of interest to the world’s vision researchers. But the worm has been difficult to study since it lives in the open sea and is active at night. Now, a research team has succeeded in locating an Italian worm colony and is able to confirm that the worm has completely unique vision. Bristle worms are a group of annelid worms that mostly live in the sea

Researchers create AI animals that simulate the evolution of vision

A research team has created artificial animals that over time develop functioning vision from scratch – from simple light sensitivity to the ability to discern objects. This happened despite the fact that the digital creatures weren’t given any instructions. The results show how AI can be used to understand the inner secrets of evolution. Imagine that you are sitting in front of a computer. In the

4,000-year-old texts to reach new audiences in landmark digital project

Researchers at Lund University are participating in an international project that is transforming access to some of the world’s oldest written sources. As part of the collaboration, an Arabic digital interface has been developed to make cuneiform texts - written on clay tablets in ancient Mesopotamia over more than three millennia - accessible to new audiences. “This new initiative will not only h

Can we limit global warming to 1.5 °C?

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Efforts to combat climate change tend to focus on supply-side changes, such as shifting to renewable or cleaner energy. In a Special Issue in the Energy Efficiency Journal that follows the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 ˚C, researchers argue that demand-side approaches can play a crucial role given the a

Researchers solve the mystery of the bird from Atlantis

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The world’s smallest flightless bird can be found on Inaccessible Island in the middle of the South Atlantic. Less than 100 years ago, researchers believed that this species of bird once wandered there on land extensions now submerged in water, and therefore named it Atlantisia. In a new study led by biologists at Lun
