This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Swedish nature is teeming with wild edible plants. Some taste good, others don’t. A group of biologists from 11 different countries got to learn which plants are edible, and what they taste like, when the department’s SACT (Scientific Activities) group organised a herbal excursion to Abusa Valley outside Södra Sandby

Att leva i ett samhälle med rent vatten och fungerande avloppssystem är grundläggande för människans goda hälsa. I Kazakstan i Centralasien kan man inte räkna med säker vattenförsörjning och många riskerar att få allvarliga infektionssjukdomar. Men nu vill landet fokusera på att förbättra befolkningens hälsa och man vänder sig till Lunds universitet för hjälp. Ungefär 2,1 miljarder människor på jo

Med hjälp av en matematisk modell har forskare lyckats koppla samman bekräftade covid-19-fall med intensivvårdsinskrivningar och dödsfall. Modellen, som gör det möjligt att förutse och planera sjukvårdsbelastning, kan bli värdefull under den pågående pandemin samt vid framtida epidemier. Det är med hjälp av en så kallad FIR-modell (en typ av filter för digitala system) som ett svenskt forskarlag,

Perhaps we course lecturers can use digital technology to become better at giving feedback and providing a clearer structure to our courses? Maybe digitisation gives us a golden opportunity to rethink content, relevance and what we really want students to think about as they study?

The Pereira research group has previously shown that it is possible to reprogram human skin cells into dendritic cells that strengthen the immune system. However, the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells has been shown to be very low. New studies now indicate that there are ways to increase the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells by over 75%. These findings provide mechanistic insights into h

Många är glada att få träffas i fysiska klassrum igen men det vore ju synd att inte utnyttja det faktum att en stor majoritet av alla lärare och studenter har lärt sig att hantera digitala verktyg för undervisning.

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Alzheimers sjukdom är en komplex och svårdiagnostiserad sjukdom eftersom symtomen överlappar med andra liknande sjukdomar. Men nu har forskare funnit en markör i blodet som mer exakt kan diagnostisera Alzheimer i de tidiga stadierna av sjukdomen. – Detta är ett stort genombrott och jag tror att detta blodprov kan an
