A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r

High above us, the atmosphere is teeming with life. Birds, bats and insects share the airspace, but divide it into different lanes of traffic. New research from Lund University in Sweden reveals how the atmosphere is an ecosystem, with complex ecological processes that affect how animals move between different altitude levels. We must understand that the air is an arena for ecological processes th

Today, Times Higher Education (THE) published its latest ranking and Lund University has retained its position at 95. “It’s very gratifying that we have retained our position, despite tougher global competition. A university is never better than its staff and students. This is therefore an acknowledgement of the skilled work everyone performs to create a top-class university and confirms that we a

The story of the Ukrainian music scene since the Russian invasion is one of resilience. Even if it has meant playing in the underground Metro, or in cold bomb shelters with no electricity, many musicians have found ways to continue their art. Now, five classical musicians from Kharkiv, Ukraine, have been invited by Malmö Academy of Music to perform in Malmö. In many ways, the sound of Ukraine live

Antibody-based drugs often become too thick to be injected at high concentrations. Now, new research can explain why this happens—knowledge that could eventually lead to easily injectable medications. Antibody-based drugs are currently used to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory conditions. To be administered as a simple injection under the skin, they need to be concentrated, but a

During the Covid-19 pandemic, there was an unexpected increase in the number of cases of type 1 diabetes in Sweden, particularly among children under five and young adult men. The infection accelerated the onset of diabetes among children between the ages of five and nine. The researchers looked at data from a 17-year period on the incidence of type 1 diabetes among all people under the age of 30

What keeps spaghetti from disintegrating in boiling water? The answer, according to new research, is gluten. The amount of salt in the water also has an unexpected significance. Using advanced techniques, researchers examined the internal structure of regular and gluten-free spaghetti – straight off the shelf. The results show that gluten has a crucial role in protecting the structure of pasta dur

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

Environmental pioneer Henrik Smith has won a major international ecology prize. He is also keen to emphasise the importance of research activity’s interaction with society – gone are the days when writing an extensive study and then leaving it to gather dust was enough. Henrik Smith, professor of animal ecology at Lund University, has been awarded the internationally renowned Marsh Awards for Ecol

A unique long-term study, in which biological samples were collected from the same population of blue tits over a 30-year period, shows that rising spring temperatures have doubled the incidence of avian malaria in southern Sweden. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have collected samples every year from hundreds of blue tits in a single population at a local breeding area outside Lund. Th

Pregnancies do not weaken a woman’s skeleton. Breastfeeding, however, can reduce bone density considerably. These are findings from a research report produced at Lund University in Sweden. But breastfeeding women need not worry. “There is a dip, but the body is absolutely fantastic at making up the loss,” says Kristina Åkesson, professor of orthopedics. Breastfeeding and pregnancy both require lar

Feeling unmotivated to carve another jack-o’-lantern out of a slimy pumpkin? As luck would have it, at least you don’t have to struggle with a rock-hard turnip. The pumpkin’s status as the main symbol of Halloween is actually somewhat of an historical coincidence. Ethnologist Katarzyna Herd explains why. Two-hundred tonnes. According to SVT Nyheter, this is how much pumpkin was transported from Le

Ten years have passed since the countries of the world signed the Paris Agreement. Political scientist Fariborz Zelli sums up the surprises – both positive and negative – in climate policy over the past ten years and also looks ahead. What has been the biggest success of the Paris Agreement so far?I would say the biggest success is that the UN has succeeded in keeping its central role in global cl

Current knowledge of food safety is based on traditional foods that include animal products. Corresponding knowledge of plant-based foods lags behind. “There is a naive belief that plant-based food is safer than animal-based food. Unfortunately, this is not the case,” says Jenny Schelin, a researcher on food safety at Lund University in Sweden. “Plant-based foods are just as vulnerable to the same

Archaeologist Peter Jordan has together with colleagues from the UK and the US received the prestigious ERC Synergy Grant. The research aims to shed new light on the demography of hunter-gatherer societies, potentially shifting our understanding of human history over the past 10,000 years entirely. The project FORAGER will examine why certain hunter-gatherer societies experienced both population g

An international team of researchers has investigated whether oral insulin can prevent early signs of type 1 diabetes and clinical diagnosis in children with an increased risk of developing the disease. Although treatment with oral insulin could not prevent development of diabetes-related autoantibodies, oral insulin delayed the rate of disease progression in children who developed such autoantibo
