Den 12 december presenterade regeringen forsknings- och innovationspropositionen med titeln ”Forskning och innovation för framtid, nyfikenhet och nytta”. En samlad bedömning av propositionen visar att den är mycket mer utmanande för Lunds universitet än någon tidigare forskningsproposition. Den erbjuder stora möjligheter för många forskare och olika typer av forskning, samtidigt som den styr forsk

År 2023 var det varmaste året som någonsin har uppmätts och 2024 kommer att bli ännu varmare. Demokratin är på tillbakagång och bristen på mat ökar, som en följd av militära konflikter, ekonomiska kriser och extremväder. Förenta nationernas möjligheter att agera globalt är betydligt sämre än tidigare, som en följd av det geopolitiska läget. Detta under en tid när vi verkligen skulle behöva interna

Sexuella trakasserier på arbetsplatsen är en vanlig företeelse inom universiteten och drabbar uppskattningsvis var fjärde kvinna och var tolfte man under deras yrkesliv. Men det finns fortfarande en betydande tystnadskultur inom akademin. En omfattande studie bland Lunds universitets anställda och studenter, visar att de som utsatts för sexuella trakasserier, i de flesta fall inte berättar för någ

Forskare vid Lunds universitet och Washington University har upptäckt en blodmarkör som visar hur mycket av Alzheimers sjukdom man bär på i hjärnan. Fynden kan hjälpa att se vem som kan ha mest nytta av de nya läkemedlen som godkänts i bland annat USA, Japan och Kina – och som är på väg att godkännas i Europa. Studien i korthet:En nyupptäckt markör (MTBR-tau243) i blodet kan avslöja hur mycket alz

Enklare analysmetod av blodprov för Alzheimers sjukdom har testats i en stor multicenterstudie, ledd från Lunds universitet. – Detta är ett viktigt steg för att kunna föra in enkla blodprovstester för Alzheimers sjukdom i vården globalt, säger forskarna bakom studien. I korthet:Blodmarkören (P-tau217) kan börja förändras flera år innan alzheimersymtom uppkommer. Markören kan mätas med en enklare o

Can you tell me a little about your research area?I research diseases and conditions of the hip joint that affect children but can also cause pain and osteoarthritis in adulthood. One example is hip dysplasia, where the acetabulum does not sufficiently cover the femoral head. Hip dysplasia occurs in 0.5-1% of newborns in Sweden and is almost always detected at the maternity ward. When diagnosed ea

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

When Tobias Nilsson, a Scientific Officer at the Faculty Office, travelled to South Africa through Lund University’s exchange programme with Stellenbosch University, he did not quite know what to expect. But the weeks filled with job shadowing, workshops and meetings provided both new perspectives and experiences that stayed with him long after returning home.“It was powerful to meet people who ha

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study has identified the four actions that would have the greatest impact on an individual’s greenhouse gas emissions: eating a plant-based diet, avoiding air travel, living car free, and having fewer children. The comprehensive study analysed 39 peer-reviewed articles, carbon calculators and government sources

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets. But a clinical trial is al

Migrant farm workers are some of the most vulnerable people within the global agricultural system. Now climate change is increasingly affecting their health and wellbeing, as well as agricultural production, exacerbating poverty and inequality for people making their living on farm labour.
