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

The challenges we need to continue working on in education are mobility between higher education institutions, lifelong learning and how we can intertwine research and education. A small delegation from Lund University travelled to Porto for the Annual Summit 2021 to discuss future challenges and opportunities. The issues under discussion included mobility between higher education institutions, li

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside - even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of different bird

New twin research shows that innate IQ plays a major role in predicting your future socio-economic status. The study, which follows twins during the crucial early adult years, reinforces the view that heredity and genes shape our life opportunities – and the people we become. The saying “to be born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth” suggests that wealth and prosperity stem from the parents’ fortu

Veterinarian in charge Anders Forslid is retiring after 30 years working to improve the welfare of research animals at Lund University. He has witnessed a paradigm shift in animal health and animal experiments, and the way animal testing and humans’ obligations are viewed has changed. When Anders Forslid started out as a laboratory animal veterinarian at Lund University, he received a fairly cool

Delving into the realm where light and matter converge, Mattias Bertolino's embarks on a theoretical exploration of photoionization. Focusing on multiphoton ionization of noble gas atoms, using a mixture of extreme-ultraviolet and infrared light, he explores the intricate interplay between light and matter. He aims to improve our understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matt

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's di

Ten years’ work has paid off – UNESCO has added the unique archive of 500 in-depth interviews with Holocaust survivors to the Memory of the World Register. This means the Ravensbrück Archive is recognised as an example of cultural heritage of great value to humanity.

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening.

By blocking a protein, VDAC1, in the insulin-producing beta cells, it is possible to restore their normal function in case of type 2 diabetes. In preclinical experiments, the researchers behind a new study have also shown that it is possible to prevent the development of the disease. The findings are published in the
