The first two days in Uppsala included a course on machine learning in epidemiology. The third day was a conference day with presentations from the large Swedish cohorts. PhD student Josefine Andreasson participated all three days and was a bit surprised: "Machine learning is more accessible than I thought!"

Locked fingers, known as trigger finger, are more common among people with diabetes than in the general population. A study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that the risk of being affected increases in the case of high blood sugar. The study has been published in Diabetes Care. Trigger finger means that one or more fingers, often the ring finger or thumb, ends up in a bent position that is d

The excitement has been palpable in recent weeks following the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics to Anne L’Huillier, a researcher at Lund. This is the first time a researcher at Lund University has received a Nobel Prize, and atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier is only the fifth woman ever to be awarded the prize in Physics. By now it is widely known where atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier was when

Hunting in Sweden has a long history and could be considered a cultural heritage. Wildlife management and a sense of local community and stewardship are important keywords to describe recreational hunting. However, in recent years there has been an emerging market for commercial hunting, where hunters can buy the right to hunt on someone else’s land, where hospitality services and guiding are ofte

Exercise is an important part of the treatment for those who have osteoarthritis. But even before one is affected by osteoarthritis, in this case knee osteoarthritis, different types of exercise can be more or less advantageous, depending on how much muscle mass is around the knee joint. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease characterized by pain and limited mobility in the joint. The disease can lead

A group of researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made the first iron-based molecule capable of emitting light. This could contribute to the development of affordable and environmentally friendly materials for e.g. solar cells, light sources and displays. For over 50 years, chemists have developed metal-based dye molecules for a wide range of different applications, such as displays and sol

With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year, as a result of a warmer climate and a changing agricultural landscape, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. “We risk losing additional bumblebee species, and having less pollination of crops and wild plants”, says

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Lack of microinvaginations in the cell membrane, caveolae, can cause serious diseases such as lipodystrophy and muscular dystrophy. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a “main switch” that regulates the formation of these invaginations. Many cells in the body are equipped with small microinvag
