The new broad-spectrum method targets physical properties in the genome of the virus rather than viral proteins, which have previously been targeted. The treatment consists of new molecules that penetrate the protein s
Scientists have long tried to understand the connection between osteoarthritis, our most common joint disease, and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and high blood pressure. Previously, it was believed that osteoarthritis simply increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to reduced physical activity due to joint pain and obesity. But new findings suggest that something much deepe
On 15-16 June 2015 MERGE's annual spring/summer meeting was held at Örenäs Castle in Glumslöv. MERGE researchers and PhD students got together for two days of discussions, scientific presentations and beautiful walks around the castle area. You can find the presentations from the meeting here.

Inom forskningen presenteras nya resultat som pekar på att ätsvårigheter hos barn är relativt vanligt. Men även om kunskapen ökar, står Sverige till stora delar utan rätt resurser för att hjälpa barnen. Det säger erfarna forskare vid Lunds universitet, som sett problematiken från olika håll. – En tidig upptäckt av barn med troliga ätsvårigheter är sannolikt viktig för att barnet inte ska få större

For the first time, the University has investigated the collective climate footprint of the entire organisation. Emissions of greenhouse gases fell sharply during the pandemic, almost exclusively due to the suspension of travel. However, there is still a long way to go to meet the emission targets for 2023 in the sustainability plan. The recent report shows that, in 2018, the University emitted a
