What does online shopping mean for those living in rural areas? A lot, according to researchers in logistics at Lund University. Poorer access to products and services in the countryside makes shopping online an important option. But with an increasing number of e-business services adapted to big cities, rural areas risk being forgotten. E-commerce and logistic services generally work well for tho

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a completely new stimulation method, using ultra-thin microelectrodes, to combat severe pain. This provides effective and personalised pain relief without the common side effects from pain relief drugs. The study, which was conducted on rats, has been published in the research journal Science Advances. The lack of a side effect-free treatment

New research from Lund University shows that insufficient infrastructure was key in American car manufacturers choosing gasoline cars over electric cars in the early 20th century. If electricity grids had spread just 15 or 20 years earlier, a majority of producers would have likely opted for electric cars, according to the study published in Nature Energy. A broad political commitment to a univers

On October 31st, representatives from across the globe will gather in Glasgow for two weeks to attend the UN climate change conference COP26. Expectations are high following last year's cancelled conference, and the IPCC report released in August. What can we expect from the meeting? Five Lund researchers give answers. How far do countries' climate ambitions go? As part of the Paris Agreement in 2

You rush into the supermarket; your mother-in-law is coming for dinner. But which products end up in your shopping basket and why? Researchers have previously tracked eye movements to understand which products attract you in a shop. In order to get closer to the truth, they now want to use new computational models in which the brain’s cognitive processes also play a major role. As you stand in the

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.

In a recent study, a group of geology researchers at Lund University unveiled three newly discovered species of conodonts, a type of jawless ancient fish. One of the species has been named Drepanoistodus iommii - a tribute to Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. About 470 million years ago, eel-like fish swam around in the Baltoscandian basin - a shallow sea that covered parts of present-day Scandi

If you wander off the lane or touch the lane marking, your car tells you about it, and the most recent models can even gently take you back to the middle of the lane. Research in ELLIIT has shown that if the car also provides help during swift avoi- dance manoeuvres, the number of accidents could be reduced by around 80%. “Completely autonomous and driverless traffic on conventional roads and unde

Researchers at Lund University want to use AI methods, population registers, mobile data and novel data sources to develop and evaluate applications that can be used to detect and combat pandemics in the future. A large collaborative project is funded by Vinnova, Sweden’s innovation agency. During the corona pandemic, it has been necessary for the authorities to act quickly and use available popul

The most common tests for COVID-19 are PCR tests, involving a nose and throat sample taken with a cotton swab. The procedure is often unpleasant, and the tests results require laboratory analysis. In a new study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers have now investigated whether rapid antigen testing can be used on saliva instead of swabbing the nasal cavity. The results are published in Inf

Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi

Presently many of Sweden’s 20,000 Parkinson’s patients are not receiving the treatment they need, and many of the most seriously ill receive incorrect or inappropriate therapy.

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has identified a protein in the blood that could predict type 2 diabetes up to nineteen years before the onset of the disease. The study is published in Nature Communications. Type 2 diabetes is a growing global epidemic, with 6% of the world population suffering from the disease. However, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be greatly reduced

Med målet att finna nya angreppssätt för att behandla virusinfektioner har forskaren Alex Evilevitch under många år studerat mekanismer bakom herpesinfektion och virusets fysikaliska egenskaper. I en ny studie om herpesvirusets smarta modus operandi har han undersökt hur mekaniken i cellkärnan påverkas av herpesviruset och hur cellkärnan motstår de påfrestningar som den utsätts för av viruset.

Återhämtning sker både på och utanför arbetet. Den kan delas upp i antingen olika sorters pauser eller aktiviteter som ger dig ny energi. Lina Ejlertssons doktorsavhandling pekar på att återhämtning under arbetsdagen är centralt för vårt välmående, och en bra gemenskap på arbetsplatsen med starka och trygga relationer ger goda förutsättningar för återhämtning hos medarbetarna. – För att kunna pres

På senare år har det gjorts stora framsteg i utvecklingen av nya framgångsrika immunterapier för att behandla cancer. Så kallad CAR-T-cellbehandling och behandling med antikroppar är två typer av målriktade immunterapier som har revolutionerat delar av cancervården. Men än kvarstår stora utmaningar med att identifiera proteiner på cancercellers yta som mål för immunterapier. En forskargrupp i Lund

Våra dendritiska celler (DC) är immunsystemets vaktposter och de patrullerar våra kroppar efter bakterier, virus eller cancerceller. När DC hittar en främmande partikel bryter de ner den i mindre bitar – antigen - och presenterar bitarna på cellytan för immunförsvarets mördarceller. På så vis lär sig mördarcellerna vilka smittoämnen och cancerceller som de ska söka upp och döda. I flera studier ha
