Plants and bacteria make use of sunlight with remarkably high efficiency: nine out of ten absorbed light particles are being put to use in an ordinary bacterium. For years it has been a pressing question of modern research whether or not effects from quantum physics are responsible for this outstanding performance of natural light harvesters. A team of European research groups, a collaboration bet

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that women with low levels of an anti-stress hormone have an increased risk of getting breast cancer. The study is the first of its kind on humans and confirms previous similar observations from animal experiments. The recent findings on a potential new marker for the risk of developing breast cancer are presented in the renowned Journal of Clinical

Teenagers suffering from severe obesity generally feel worse than their peers, but after undergoing gastric bypass nearly all experience improved mental health. One in five, however, still suffers from symptoms of depression – some quite seriously. These are the results of a new study from Lund University in Sweden, published in Obesity. The study is the largest two-year follow-up in the world reg

Lack of microinvaginations in the cell membrane, caveolae, can cause serious diseases such as lipodystrophy and muscular dystrophy. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a “main switch” that regulates the formation of these invaginations. Many cells in the body are equipped with small microinvaginations in the cell membrane called caveolae. They are important for the cell’s

Linguist Niclas Burenhult has been awarded close to SEK 14 million by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond for his field project Language as key to perceptual diversity: an interdisciplinary approach to the senses. “We like to believe that everyone perceives the world in the same way. But studying small and lesser-known languages and cultures reveals an incredible diversity in how people describe sensory imp

An antibody that did not fulfil its purpose against the disease multiple sclerosis, MS, instead made its big break in cancer research and is now starring in southern Sweden’s largest licensing agreement in Life Science history. The “father” of the antibody is Professor Carl Borrebaeck. It is one of the windiest days in late summer, and the wind is blowing especially hard to the north at the Medico

Researchers from Lund University, Sweden, and USA have shown that our understanding of how organic material is decomposed by fungi and bacteria is fundamentally wrong. This means that climate models that include microorganisms to estimate future climate change must be reconsidered. When a plant dies, its leaves and branches fall to the ground. Decomposition of soil organic matter is then mainly ca

The Max IV facility, set to become the brightest x-ray source in the world, and the world’s first ‘fourth generation’ particle accelerator, has reached a major milestone. The accelerator group has now succeeded in directing the electron beam all the way around the large 3 GeV ring for the first time. “This is of course fantastically exciting and satisfying,” says Pedro Fernandes Tavares, project m

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden may have discovered one of the keys to understanding how the body develops acute pancreatitis. The results offer hope for the development of drugs that specifically target the disease. Within gastro research it is a well-known fact that the excessive activation of a type of white blood cells, neutrophils, causes the inflammation of the pancreas. Until now,

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have shown that well-developed eyes come at a surprising cost to other organ systems. The study involving Mexican cavefish shows that the visual system can require between 5% and 15% of an animal’s total energy budget. Researchers have long associated the presence of a well-developed brain with major energy consumption. This means that animals that develo

Coronapandemin har slagit hårt mot de äldre och sköraste i samhället. Under året har det blivit extra tydligt: förstärkning och innovation inom den kommunala äldreomsorgen är nödvändigt. Forskare vid Lunds universitet och Helsingborgs stad går nu gemensamt i bräschen för forskningsbaserad kompetensutveckling inom äldreomsorgen. Vid det här laget har det inte gått någon förbi att coronapandemin på

Att tro att alla äldre människor är teknikfientliga är ålderism och stämmer inte med sanningen. Risken för att hamna i digitalt utanförskap handlar inte främst om ålder – utan snarare om ekonomi, kunskap och socialt nätverk.
