A team of researchers from Lund University and the Lund Stem Cell Center have developed a new memory-efficient tool for single-cell genomic analysis called Scarf. Now available in Nature Communications, this innovative, bioinformatics software has the potential to help researchers navigate a growing treasure trove of data and set them on the path to answering new scientific questions related to hu

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that usually requires lifelong treatment. A central goal for many diabetes researchers is to develop new cell therapies that can cure the disease. The Bo and Kerstin Hjelt Diabetes Foundation provides support to two diabetes researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre who contribute with new knowledge to this research field. Type 1 diabetes is a condition wh

In 2022–2023, food prices in Sweden rose by 25 per cent. But it wasn't just households' wallets that were hit hard by the price increases – public health was too. Swedish consumers ate less dietary fibre, fruit and vegetables, according to a new report from Lund University. The text below was originally published as a press release by Amanda Lindström on Lund University’s international website on

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

This CMES Regional Outlook by Pinar Dinc focuses on the recent political developments in Turkey. Recent events over the past week have dramatically shaken the political landscape in Turkey. The mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu, a prominent political rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was stripped of his university degree for alleged irregularities. The next morning he was detained at his ho

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke recovery therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment”, says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor of neurobiology at

In a recent research paper, Talina Sondershaus and her co-authors investigate how shadow banks, which are bank-like institutions that are only lightly regulated, behave in the context of climate change. They find that when society pays high attention to climate change, shadow banks start buying “brown loans”, i.e. loans from borrowers that have a large carbon footprint, while prices for these loan

This year's recipient of the Leif C. Groop Award for Outstanding Diabetes Research maps out mechanisms in the adipose tissue, which has increased the understanding of why some people with obesity develop type 2 diabetes.

Extreme differences in flight altitude between day and night may have been an undetected pattern amongst migratory birds – until now. The observation was made by researchers at Lund University in Sweden in a study of great snipes, where they also measured a new altitude record for migratory birds, irrespective of the species, reaching 8 700 metres. Great snipes are shorebirds that breed in Sweden,

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. It has been established that not all cancer cells are equally aggressive – most can be neutralised with radiation and chemotherapy. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered that some cancer cells can accumulate fat droplets, which appear to make them more aggressive and increase their ability to sp
