LUCSUS researchers are participating in this year’s United Nations Climate Change conference, COP30, in Belém, Brazil. Three ongoing research areas at LUCSUS will be highlighted at side events at the COP: immobility in climate adaptation, environmental human right defenders in the Amazon and inner-outer transformation for climate action. The associated projects: ITACHA (Immobility in a Changing Cl

How does migration and globalisation shape the lives of individuals in various countries and how does it affect the children of immigrants in terms of integration, identity, and cultural expressions? Do they themselves use the word integration? These questions occupy sociologist Dalia Abdelhady who is about to conclude a study of three populations in the US, in France and in Germany, based on thei

Insulinceller från patienter med typ 1-diabetes kan återfå förmågan att producera insulin i laboratorium. Förmågan förbättrades dessutom ytterligare redan några dagar utanför kroppen, visar en studie med forskare från Norge och Sverige. - Våra fynd kan betyda att insulinproduktionen delvis kan återupptas ifall vi kan hitta ett sätt att stoppa sjukdomsutvecklingen, säger Lars Krogvold, doktorand  v

Nu har forskare hittat en alternativ väg för att framställa atomer av det väldigt tunga grundämnet livermorium. Den nya metoden öppnar för möjligheten att skapa ett annat grundämne som skulle kunna bli världens hittills tyngsta: nummer 120. Jakten på nya grundämnen bygger på drömmen om att lyckas hitta en variant som är tillräckligt stabil för att kunna vara långlivad och inte sönderfalla meddetsa

Efter ett decennium av protokollutveckling och förberedelser har MultiParks forskare äntligen lanserat den kliniska fasen av STEM-PD-studien. Nyligen transplanterades dopamin-producerande celler som genererats från embryonala stamceller till den första parkinsonpatienten på Lunds universitetssjukhus. Flera av MultiParks forskningsledare har centrala roller i projektet. Hösten 2022 godkände Läkemed

Sedan många år går det att med blodprov screena barn som har ett förstadium till typ 1-diabetes. Screening görs i forskningsprojekt men inte i vården. Priset för att identifiera ett barn i riskzonen är knappt 100 000 kronor. Är det värt det? I tyska Bavaria erbjuds alla barn mellan 21 månader och sex års ålder screening för typ 1-diabetes inom Fr1da-studien. För barnet är det på flera sätt viktigt

Antalet sjukdomsfall orsakade av Leishmania, en parasit som smittar genom bett av sandmyggor som huvudsakligen finns i tropiska och subtropiska områden och i länder kring Medelhavet, har ökat i Sverige. Den allvarligaste formen leder obehandlad oftast till döden. 2019-05-02 – Det är fortfarande en väldigt ovanlig sjukdom här, men antalet fall har mer än fördubblats de sista tio åren. Sjukdomssymto

Den vanligaste cancerformen hos barn är en viss typ av lymfatisk leukemi. Idag överlever de flesta barn som drabbas, men behandlingen är tung. I ett försök att hitta en mer skonsam behandling har forskare vid Lunds universitet utvecklat en immunterapi som i avancerade experimentella modeller effektivt dödar cancerceller i en undergrupp av leukemi. För bara 80 år sedan dog i stort sett alla barn me

Most women will experience menopause at some point in their working lives. How can a workplace be set up to make things easier for employees going through their menopausal transition? A pilot project at Lund University is investigating the issue. Sweating, mood swings and poor sleep. Many women are adversely affected by menopause.

New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study showed an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes (T1D). Notably, researchers also found that early adenovirus C infection seemed to confer protection from autoimmunity. The full findings

Is it possible that a tiny pollen dredged up from a European lake can hold answers about both our past and our future? Researchers at Lund University use pollen as old as 12 000 years to predict our future climate, and to study ecological and historical change. Researchers Esther Githumbi and Johan Lindström use pollen from the ice age to the present to inform vegetation models and find crucial an

During the pandemic, physical summits were replaced by Zoom meetings, and global political leaders had to quickly adjust. How did they visually convey their status in this new world of digital diplomacy? A new study from Lund University in Sweden analysed over 50 photos from the first virtual G20 meeting in 2020. When political leaders meet, there is usually a strict protocol, and national attribu

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

A Swedish multi-centre study led by researchers at Lund University shows a link between low fibre consumption and the presence of unstable or high-risk plaque in coronary arteries – the type of plaque that can trigger blood clots and cause heart attacks. The study also links dietary pattern to the composition of the plaques, i.e. how potentially dangerous they are. Using advanced cardiac imaging,
