Three questions for Juanita Francis, who successfully defended her thesis in Pure and Applied Biochemistry at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering (LTH). What inspired you to pursue this research topic, and how has your understanding of it evolved throughout your PhD journey?Well, I can definitely say it’s not because I like spiders! But what they can do, efficiently producing high-performance

Den 18 november släpptes en nyhet vi aldrig hade kunnat drömma om: Lunds universitet har rankats som etta i QS Hållbarhetsrankning. Vi har alltså inte bara blivit rankade som etta i Sverige och i Europa utan som etta i hela världen! Detta är nog första gången som ett svenskt eller nordiskt universitet rankas först i världen i en av de stora rankningarna. Årets rankning baseras på cirka 2000 univer

Many of those who are genetically predisposed to develop atrial fibrillation, which dramatically raises the risk of stroke, can be identified with a blood test. This is shown by new research from Lund University in Sweden. The number of people affected by atrial fibrillation is rising rapidly, partly as a result of the ageing population. Over recent years, a research group at Lund University in Sw

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In Tanzania, girls on their period avoid going to school, something that affects their opportunities for education. A new study from LUCSUS shows that the menstrual cup could be a step towards better school attendance, and a life with more freedom. It could also play a part in reducing waste in the country. As a young

When young people who have turned their lives around talk about their criminal past, they are trying both to explain their actions and to forge a new identity. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows how stories about honour among thieves, responsibility and coming of age play a key role in helping people move away from a life of crime. A person who has committed crimes but wants to turn

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. It has long been known that t

Our city centres and their development are a subject of constant debate. Ulf Johansson suggests that, if we let the market decide, our city centres will eventually be emptied of retail. Most recently, representatives from our food retailers suggested to municipalities that regulations on establishment locations be relaxed, advocating for the mantra of letting the market rule (Dagligvarunytt 2022a,

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. What connection is there between food and drink with added sugar and coronary artery disease? Until recently, the question had been inadequately answered by research, but an extensive study from Lund University in Sweden has now contributed important clues.

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv

Vid typ 2-diabetes försämras bukspottskörtelns förmåga att tillverka och utsöndra insulin, en komplex process som ännu inte är helt klarlagd. En ny studie av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar att jonkanalen Piezo1 spelar en viktig roll för insulinutsöndringen och kan bli betydelsefull för framtida behandlingar av diabetes. Typ 2-diabetes kännetecknas av nedsatt glukostolerans och det innebär at

Högutbildade föräldrar får nästan 30 procent mer personlig assistans till sina barn med funktionsnedsättning, än lågutbildade föräldrar. Skillnaderna kan bero på att lågutbildade föräldrar har svårare att navigera i systemet och driva igenom sina ärenden, vilket kan leda till ökade skillnader i hälsa och livskvalitet. Under det senaste decenniet har förändringar i regelverket inom LSS (lagen om st

Singing can be a real health boost. Song involves your emotions, thoughts and body; the feelgood hormone oxytocin surges and the stress hormone cortisol declines. Singing accompanies us from the cradle to the grave, and binds us together as human beings. But what do kids sing in school, how much, and in what way? David Johnson, researcher at the Malmö Academy of Music, investigates this in his the
