In a unique study carried out in drinking water pipes in Sweden, researchers from Lund University and the local water company tested what would happen if chlorine was omitted from drinking water. The result? An increase in bacteria, of course, but after a while something surprising happened: a harmless predatory bacteria grew in numbers and ate most of the other bacteria. The study suggests that c

After many years, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has sequenced and characterized the entire genome of oats. This opens up for breeding healthier oats with even better nutritional content, and growing oats in a more environmentally sustainable way. The detailed genetic analyzes also strengthen the evidence that oats are safe in a gluten-free diet. The results are published in Natu

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

With Varvsstaden out of the picture, the University of Chicago’s establishment and investment in one of the US megacity’s most vulnerable areas, South Side, serve as the blueprint for the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts’ future co-location. “Imagine creating a campus area in Heleneholm where the Malmö Academy of Music is already located. It would be something completely new in Scandinavia, and

Inflammatoriska reaktioner i hjärnan har länge misstänkts vara involverade vid Alzheimers sjukdom, men de är svåra att studera i den levande mänskliga hjärnan. Ett internationellt samarbete med forskare vid MultiPark, Lunds universitet, har gjort det möjligt att upptäcka förhöjda nivåer av Galektin-3, ett protein som uttrycks i hjärnans immunceller. Resultaten publicerades i Acta Neuropathologica

How we feel about nature affects the gardening choices we make and how much those choices benefit pollinators. A new study from Lund University highlights this connection, particularly in the context of widespread urbanisation, which is reducing both green spaces and people’s contact with nature. The researchers also show that for pollinators in cities, gardens with plantings kept over many years

Att rekrytera artrospatienter med mycket smärta till kliniska studier, kan ge felaktigt resultat om forskaren inte tar hänsyn till den naturliga smärtvariationen som förekommer. En forskargrupp från Lunds universitet uppmärksammar nu fallgroparna i forskningsstudier kring artros och publicerar sina rön som en kommentar i The Lancet Rheumatology.
