ECT, eller elbehandling, är en behandling med god effekt för svårt deprimerade patienter. Men många patienter är oroliga för biverkningar, främst långvariga minnessvårigheter. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet i studier på möss undersökt om ECT påverkar halterna av proteinet beta-amyloid i hjärnan– det protein som klumpar ihop sig och bildar plack i hjärnan vid Alzheimers sjukdom. Artikeln har

What surprises a course participant from Africa on a short visit in Lund and to LUSEM? And what made the strongest impressions? Takes to bring back? And what about the group dynamic with new acquaintances from many different parts of the same continent? We are really curious about what happened during the fourth round of the course Innovation, Transformation and Resilience for Sustainable Developm

A machine allowing researchers to rely on objective, automatized readouts instead of subjective manual counting under the microscope. Incredible pictures. And the possibility to follow live cellular events. The Operetta is the answer to these demands. The interest in using the new MultiPark infrastructure is big. In March, MultiPark received the new Operetta CLS instrument, upgrading the former Ce

It is time for a new Climathon in Lund! Climathon is a 24-hour hackathon for climate solutions that is taking place in over 100 cities all around the world on the 26-27th of October. We face a number of common serious climate challenges and we need to work together, beyond traditional boundaries, in order to find new innovative solutions. Climathon in Lund will focus on finding solutions to limit

At least a third of the glaciers in the Himalayan range could melt due to climate change. This will have severe consequences for almost 2 billion people, including the village communities in Nepal, since the glaciers are an important water and energy source. Researcher Mine Islar is examining the future of renewable energy through micro-hydro power in Nepal by looking at collective action to find

What are opinions, what are facts and what are outright lies? The latest PISA assessment clearly shows that children and young adults have difficulties navigating the fast flow of information in society today. When anyone at all can make their voice heard it also becomes more difficult to recognise misleading information and fake news. Together, actors, performing arts teachers and researchers are

Could green citizen journalism on social media be a way to solve China’s huge environmental problems? “Perhaps. Citizen journalism forces change. However, the authorities still believe that experts and more control from above will solve the problem of climate change. They haven’t understood that the trend cannot be reversed without the involvement of a grassroots movement.” An increasing number of

Despite an increasing number of informal outdoor sport and recreational spaces in Sweden and our society, not everyone feel that they can use them. Public spaces for physical activity are dominated by boys and men, while girls and women are under-represented. The research project Equalizer examines the barriers that hinders different groups access to these spaces and methods to remove the obstacle

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

"Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS.  He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on the lookout for integrated, holistic, solutions that can move beyond the siloes

Honeybees are common pollinators, but other insects such as hoverflies, beetles and butterflies, and wild bees, including bumble bees, are also needed for pollination and are important in many different ways. With simple measures, we can help these insects thrive so they can contribute to a diversity of wild flowers, crops and rich nature experiences. Oilseed rape, apples, strawberries and field b

The earth is both inundated and drying up. Water supply is a complex phenomenon that has probably never been more complicated – or more important – than now. Kenneth M. Persson is a professor of water resources engineering and he took the initiative for Lund University’s Water Portal, which involves over 200 (!) water researchers. “The absolute greatest threat to well-functioning water management

What kind of an image of yourself do you present on social media? And why? Carys Egan-Wyer, researcher in Consumer Culture, believes that in some ways leisure time has become a type of work. Showing off the perfect meals, gardens and jogging sessions also says something about us and our time. You probably know what it's like. Despite the burnt pots and sauce all over the stove: a photo of a beauti

The use of technologies to support teaching was essential during the pandemic. But what can they do to support education at a campus university in ‘normal’ times? Here are four reasons why the university might want to plan strategically for the use of digital learning to enhance campus experiences.

Mycket diabetesforskning handlar om att förstå vad som händer när de insulinproducerande cellerna förstörs. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har valt ett annat angreppssätt. Det går ut på att förstå vad som skyddar cellerna. I sin forskning visar de hur ett protein i kroppens immunförsvar skyddar de insulinproducerande cellerna från att inflammeras och dö. Studien är publicerad i PNAS. Även om det f

Lundaforskarna Anna Sundlöv och Katarina Sjögreen-Gleisner har tagit fram en metod för att individualisera behandlingen med ett nyligen godkänt radioaktivt cancerläkemedel – genom att avbilda läkemedlet inne i patienten. Deras publikation har utsetts av tidskriften EJNMMI Physics till årets bästa. Tack vare att forskarna kunde förenkla bildtagningsprotokollet minskade antalet bildtagningar från fy

Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även

En stor studie bekräftar att mängden gluten sannolikt inverkar på risken att utveckla celiaki. I den nya långtidsstudien från Lunds universitet ingår barn från flera länder. Studien är av observationstyp och påvisar därför inte orsakssamband, men den är den hittills mest omfattande i sitt slag. Resultaten presenteras i den ansedda i tidskriften JAMA.Sammanlagt har drygt 6 600 barn med förhöjd risk

”Typ 2 diabetes drabbar inte bara far- och morföräldrarna längre. Det har också blivit barnens sjukdom.” Uttalandet är Francine Kaufmans, president för American Diabetes Association. I Sverige är än så länge typ 2 diabetes ovanligt bland barn men i många andra länder är det annorlunda. I exempelvis USA har fler än 20 000 barn typ 2 diabetes och de blir raskt fler. Studier visar att de jämfört med
