Ett tvärvetenskapligt forskarteam vid Lunds universitet har på ett innovativt sätt lyckats med något som länge varit ett stort problem inom stamcellsforskningen. Nämligen att på ett skonsamt sätt föra in terapeutiska biomolekyler i målcellen för att öka dess tillväxt. Projektet har nu tilldelats anslag Proof of Concept från Europeiska forskningsrådet, ERC. Jonas Larsson, professor i molekylärmedic

Hallå där, Nils-Eric Sahlin, du fick ett brev från Europakommissionens ordförande Ursula von der Leyen! Berätta? – Brevet handlade om att EU-kommissionen nyligen beslutat att jag ska ingå i den etiska grupp som är rådgivande till presidenten och kommissionären för forskning inom EU. Under pandemin har gruppen med det krångliga namnet European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies inte tr

Maten vi äter påverkar inte bara kroppen utan även knoppen. Forskare vid Lunds universitet strävar efter att förstå hur en kost med mycket fett och socker påverkar minnesförmågor i samband med övervikt och typ 2-diabetes. Deras nya studie på möss visar att fet mat och sockersötad dryck leder till försämringar av minnet, men att det går att vända utvecklingen. Övervikt är en riskfaktor för att utve

Graviditet kan medföra ökad risk för att bli sjuk i tuberkulos (tbc). Särskilt för kvinnor som bär på tbc-bakterier och därmed har latent, eller vilande, tbc. Dagens diagnostiska tekniker har svårt att upptäcka latent tbc, särskilt när en individs immunförsvar är förändrat som exempelvis vid graviditet. Dessutom är det okänt hur immunförsvarets egen kontroll av latent tbc påverkas under en gravidi

In 2022, the world's nations achieved a "Paris Agreement for nature" — the Kunming-Montreal Framework, negotiated during COP15 in Canada. Now, the follow-up meeting, COP16, is set to take place in Cali, Colombia. What is Sweden’s position ahead of this meeting, and what policy processes are underway for the implementation of the framework? And where does research fit into all of this? We posed a f

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

Long-term effective methods are needed to curb the negative effects of coastal erosion. Within the LIFE Coast Adapt project, researchers from Lund University, together with officials from Region Skåne and several coastal municipalities in Skåne, have tested various nature-based methods to contribute to a practice in the field. The project has now come to an end with promising results. In the LIFE

The city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

Lead, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals. This is what researchers at Lund University in Sweden found when they collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments.

Vid Psykiatriforskning Skåne bedrivs forskning kring psykisk sjukdom och behandling. Självskadebeteende är vanligt inom psykiatrin och förknippat med ökad suicidrisk. Allvarligt ökad suicidrisk hanteras oftast genom inläggning på psykiatrisk klinik. För personer med upprepat självskadebeteende kan sådan inläggning dock bli långvarig, ibland förvärra självskadebeteendet och övergå i tvångsvård. Två
