In January, the university director will make a decision on adopting a new remit and organisation for Corporate Communication within the Central Administration. Corporate Communication must be able to meet new needs at no extra cost. In this situation, other activities need to be deprioritised. The University Management has identified LUM as an activity that should be reprioritised in favour of ot

Lund University has a large and broad range of research infrastructure on offer. Several are world-leading. Unfortunately, however, in many cases the knowledge among researchers of what is on offer is low. “There are many researchers who are unaware of what the University has and what is accessible or how the infrastructure can help their research”, says Kajsa M Paulsson who is infrastructure coor

Through an interdisciplinary research project in collaboration with industry, a group of researchers hope to identify a more efficient way of assessing the ground ahead of future construction projects. The results of the research might, for example, accelerate the process of modernising the Swedish rail network. On selected sections of the track between Lund and Hässleholm, a research project is u

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

Researchers at Lund University and Lund Stem Cell Center have generated human mini bones in the lab which mirror the composition and function of human bone. The results published in Science Translational Medicine detail this step toward the future development of patient-tailored, personalized models of bone cancers and tumors.

An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20 000 genes in the human body control their growth. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied close to 15 000 of these genes alongside each other. The researchers have succeeded in identifying four key genes which, together, govern the growth and multiplication

Current knowledge of food safety is based on traditional foods that include animal products. Corresponding knowledge of plant-based foods lags behind. “There is a naive belief that plant-based food is safer than animal-based food. Unfortunately, this is not the case,” says Jenny Schelin, a researcher on food safety at Lund University in Sweden. “Plant-based foods are just as vulnerable to the same
