One third of patients do not respond to metformin treatment and 5 per cent experience serious side effects, which is the reason many choose to stop medicating. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now identified bi

How do birds avoid collision when flying in dense foliage and other cramped environments with many obstacles? And what does flying in such complex environments entail for the birds? These were the questions Per Henningsson of Lund University in Sweden pondered before engaging the help of the family’s own pet budgie to get some answers. His study has now been published in Royal Society Open Science

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 som publiceras i PNAS är ett exempe

Stem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified. “If you are interested in working with blood stem cells in Sweden, this is the place to be.” So says Martin Hjort

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to identify the most malignant tumours in children. The method involves studying genetic ‘micro-variation’, rather than the presence of individual mutations. In adult cancers, the tumour cells are more genetically variable than healthy cells.

Using a supercomputer simulation, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has succeeded in following the development of a galaxy over a span of 13.8 billion years. The study shows how, due to interstellar frontal collisions, young and chaotic galaxies over time mature into spiral galaxies such as the Milky Way. Soon after the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, the Universe was an unruly place.

Even though awareness of climate change is growing, it is not primarily environmental concern that drives consumers to choose plant-based foods — it’s the price tag. A new literature review from AgriFood Economics Centre and the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) shows that price plays a decisive role when consumers opt for plant-based rather than animal-based products.
