Nu har LUDC-forskare i ett internationellt samarbete kartlagt på vilket sätt mutationerna ökar risken. När sambandet mellan mutationer i TCF7L2-genen och diabetes stod klart kallade forskarna TCF7L2 för "årets gen" och förtjusningen ö

Bland de cirka 20 000 lärosäten som finns i världen rankas Lunds universitet som ett av de främsta i flera av de mest ansedda rankningarna. I en av dessa, QS ämnesranking 2025, var det 16 ämnesområden vid Lunds universitet som rankades bland topp hundra – och ”nursing” var ett av dem. Och inte bara det, i mars publicerade den kanadensiska tidningen University Magazine en artikel “The Best Nursing

Forests have long been seen as a sink for greenhouse gases. Research conducted by scientists from University of Gothenburg has shown that over a forest rotation of 80 years, forest production on drained peat soil is a large source of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. MERGE/BECC researchers Hongxing He and Åsa Kasimir, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Gothenburg, are two of the authors

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. I kölvattnet av en skada i det främre korsbandet i knät uppstår ofta försämrad rörelsekvalitet. Att mäta rörelseförmågan bland dessa patienter har hittills inte följt någon standard, och den kostsamma 3D-apparatur som kan mäta rörelsekvaliteten på ett tillförlitligt sätt når inte patienterna i kliniken. Men i en ny

Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies byter inte ut hela sin styrelse på en gång. Vi tror på att kombinera nya perspektiv med ”institutional memory”. I december 2025 avtackades ledamöterna Cecilia Lundberg, Susanne Lundin och Fredrik N. G. Andersson för deras idoga arbete och otroligt värdefulla insatser för Pufendorfinstitutets verksamhet. Och i slutet av januari välkomnade vi tre nya styrelse

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. We spend 90 per cent of our time indoors. We can both exercise and shop without taking a step outdoors and the indoor trend is on the increase, despite the fact that we have little understanding of the air we are breathing. “The health effects may not be detected for a number of years”, says LTH researcher Aneta Wierz

There is widespread agreement among the physicists and chemists for their establishment in Science Village to take place simultaneously and as soon as possible. There are also proposals for how the two departments could work together. Leif Bülow, head of the Department of Chemistry, describes the forthcoming establishment and merger as an incredible opportunity and says the vast majority of those

On Tuesday, the PhD students who joined SWEAH 2026 met, at Forum Medicum in Lund. They introduced themselves and their research projects, received information about the graduate school, networked and met alumni and PhD students who have been involved with SWEAH for some time. As usual at the graduate school's introductory meetings, a wide range of research projects were presented. This involves co

Just as climate change threatens homes, food and livelihoods, so does it threaten the world's supply of wine. If temperatures rise by 2 degrees Celsius, the regions of the world that are suitable for growing wine grapes could shrink by as much as 56 percent, according to a new study. And with 4 degrees of warming, 85 percent of those lands would no longer be able to produce good wines. Fortunately

Modern RNA-sekvensering kan ge bröstcancervården värdefulla ledtrådar och matcha enskilda patienter till rätt behandling – utifrån tumörens unika egenskaper och genuttryck. I en aktuell studie har data och genuttryck från drygt 7 700 cancertumörer använts för att utveckla vässade analysmodeller av RNA-sekvenseringen; en analys av ett enskilt vävnadsprov kan beskriva flera av tumörens egenskaper.
