When humans are ill, we tend to be less active. This also applies to wild animals, but so far, it has not been known how long the reduced activity lasts or which activities are affected the most. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds' activity decreases for up to three weeks when they become ill - something that could mean the difference between life and death. The researche

Lund University School of Economics and Management has done it again! The school has been ranked #44 in the world in the Financial Times' prestigious annual ranking of 100 Master’s programmes in Management. This marks a climb of 13 spots compared with last year. Lund University's Master’s programme in International Strategic Management has seen a steady rise in the ranking; in 2022 the programme c

Thousands of people could be spared from a hip fracture each year if a new method to identify the risk of osteoporotic fractures were to be introduced in healthcare. This is the view of the researchers at Lund University in Sweden who are behind a new 3D-simulation method. The results were recently published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. Osteoporosis causes 120,000 bone fractures in

The UNEXPECTED event that took place 1 June in Lund gathered unique and diverse minds and organisations, that exemplifies the dynamism of human creativity. With limitless possibilities that emerge when we break down barriers, we can embrace the unexpected. The international arts and science innovation forum, UNEXPECTED attracted researchers, politicians, civil servants, and entrepreneurs from acro

Is it possible that a single biomarker can detect all types of diseases related to dopamine deficiency in the brain? Yes, that's what a research group in Lund is discovering. "We have observed that an enzyme in cerebrospinal fluid and in blood is a useful marker for identifying all types of Parkinson's-related diseases with high accuracy," says Oskar Hansson, who led the study. The marker in quest

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

Past cycles of climate change, along with human exploitation, have led to only small and isolated stocks of Atlantic walrus remaining. The current population is at high risk of the same issues affecting them severely, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. Today, the last remaining stocks of Atlantic walrus are more at danger than ever, due to a combination of Arctic warming an

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person to another. This can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group at Lund University in Sweden has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a

If we can understand how and why light and matter behave as they do, we are one step closer to solving some of the most fundamental problems in physics. Finding the answers to these questions drives Ville Maisi, Associate Professor of Solid States Physics at NanoLund. As long as he can remember he has been interested electric circuits and physics. With the support of a new ERC Consolidator Grant,

In today's scientific world, microscopic images have become a powerful resource for research. With access to advanced microscopes, researchers can now create unique images of structures and objects. Beautiful and captivating images that can also convey complex context to a wider audience. Microscopic images offer a clear advantage over purely quantitative measurements: they allow us to see the str

Anne L'Huillier, Professor of Atomic Physics at Lund University, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz on Tuesday. “It feels absolutely incredible. Fantastic! I am very proud”, she says. Anne L'Huillier received the news that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics during a lecture. Her phone rang, but it was only during a break in teaching

Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to "clean up" their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem. Whether carelessly discarded

All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the

A research group at Lund University has studied how a molecular sensor located in the blood vessel wall, controls how the vessel compensates for high blood pressure. As we age, the sensor deteriorates, which can worsen vascular damage caused by high blood pressure and consequently lead to secondary diseases affecting the heart, brain, or other organs. In mice, the researchers demonstrate that the

De barn som är med i undersökningar som TEDDY och DiPiS och insjuknar i diabetes får tidigare diagnos och snabbare behandling än andra barn som insjuknar. Detta gör att sjukdomen får ett mildare förlopp, åtminstone under det första året. DAISY är en amerikansk undersökning som i mycket liknar TEDDY och DiPiS. Också i DAISY kontrolleras barnen regelbundet för antikroppar mot de insulinproducerande

Det ökade antalet dödsfall som stoppade den stora diabetesstudien ACCORD och som diabetesportalen skrev om förra veckan, motsägs nu av preliminära resultat från en annan liknande undersökning, ADVANCE. I den finner man inte bevis för ökad dödlighet. När det oväntat rapporterades från den amerikanska ACCORD-undersökningen om fler dödsfall bland de typ 2 diabetiker som med flera olika läkemedel sänk

Överraskande många av de verkliga veteranerna, de som haft typ 1 diabetes i mer än 50 år, har fortfarande fungerade betaceller kvar. Någon heltäckande förklaring till varför det är så finns inte. – Jag tror att de har gener som på något sätt motverkar det autoimmuna angreppet. En annan förklaring kan vara att de insulinproducerande betaceller delar sig bättre, säger Åke Lernmark, professor i exper

Ännu en länk har fogats till den beviskedja som pekar på att typ 1 diabetes orsakas av virusinfektioner. Forskare vid LUDC visar nu att det är dubbelt så vanligt att barn som föds på sommaren har antikroppar mot de insulinproducerande cellerna. Förklaringen är att deras mammor i början av graviditeten hade någon av vinterns många maginfektioner. - Ja, vårt fynd är ett starkt stöd för hypotesen att

Spår av den insulinproducerande betacellens ämnesomsättning bildar intrikata mönster som rätt tolkade ger viktig information om cellens funktion. Hindrik Mulder och hans forskargrupp har utvecklat metoder för att läsa dessa mönster som kan ge mer värdefull information än vad som är möjligt idag. Ett exempel är att i förväg kunna upptäcka personer i riskzonen för diabetes eller vilka diabetiker som
