Swapping concrete and asphalt for trees, ponds and green roofs is an example of how cities can be adapted to cope with heavy rain and climate change. But time is running out. For nature-based solutions to have a global impact, we need to act fast, according to researchers. A late summer’s day in August 2014, 100 mm of rain fell over the course of a 24-hour period in the Sofielund area in Malmö. Ba

When you start teaching using the flipped classroom or make use of digital media to free up time for more active student participation methods in the classroom, you might sometimes feel that it is difficult to come up with meaningful activities for the students to spend time on now that there is a time surplus in the classroom, especially if you were previously used to lecturing for a large propor

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Cancer is known for its ability to hide from the immune system, making it tough to fight. But what

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

An increasing number of Swedes are getting tattoos and Sweden’s population is now one of the most tattooed in Europe. At the same time, the incidence of melanoma is increasing. A new epidemiological study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for melanoma.

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer. Genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) is an emerging approach for disease treatment. Around 30 Swedish researchers suggest a direction forward in a review article in Journal of Internal Medicine (JIM). "At the moment newborns are screened for a small number of mutations. In the

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

It was not an entirely uncontroversial decision to gather cancer researchers in the abandoned AstraZeneca premises ten years ago. Carl Borrebaeck was pro vice-chancellor at the time and pushed for the move which in itself cost SEK 50 million in central university funds. “I was not very popular with the deans at that time,” he says. “But now it turns out that Medicon Village is a great success and

Diabetesforskare vid Lunds universitet har tidigare visat att det är möjligt att dela in diabetes i fem olika grupper med olika sjukdomsutveckling. En ny studie av samma forskare ger ökat stöd för att indelningen kan bli användbar inom sjukvården i framtiden. Forskarna har dessutom gjort nya fynd som visar på skillnader mellan grupperna när det gäller utvecklingen av komplikationer. – Många patien

Docent Jan-Inge Lind, med lång forskningserfarenhet inom sjukvårdens organisation och styrning, reflekterar i en intervju över dess utveckling och landar i att den traditionella producentinriktade styrningen har spelat ut sin roll. Steg har visserligen tagits mot en mer patientorienterad styrning, men enligt honom krävs en än mer patient- och processorienterad verksamhetsmodell för att hantera vår

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har i en ny observationsstudie tittat på samtliga fall av hjärttransplantationer hos barn under 18 år i Norden mellan 1986 och 2023. Totalt 597 barn ingick i studien, varav 461 transplanterades. Resultaten visar att överlevnaden ökat markant – en utveckling som forskarna kopplar till tekniska framsteg, avancerad teknik och bättre rutiner i vården. Kort om studien:597
