Martin Magnusson received a 4.8 million VR project grant 2023-2026 for the project "Incretin system´s impact on cardiovascular disease and cancer" together with Joao Duarte and Anja Meissner. The aim of this study is to assess the long-term effects of incretin hormones GIP and GLP-1 on the cardiovascular system. These hormones initiate insulin secretion, which reduces blood sugar levels after a me

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University have used a completely new preclinical technique and analysis of tissue from patients to show exactly what happens when certain patients with Parkinson’s disease are restored as a result of nerve cell transplants. They have also identified what makes many of the transplant patients devel

The University Management Group visited Utrecht University at the end of April. After several educational days in Utrecht, they came away inspired and full of new ideas and thoughts about open science, holistic thinking, collaboration and teaching qualifications. The University Management Group have written about their experiences of their study visit to Utrecht and the lessons and thoughts they b

AI requires ever-larger data centres and ever more power. Now, researchers have developed an artificial neuron that operates using light and brings together several of the brain’s most important functions in a single component. The technology could eventually pave the way for more energy-efficient AI and intelligent sensors. Training today’s largest AI models requires enormous data centres filled

Seeds and fat balls do more than just fill small birds’ stomachs. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that feeding during the wintertime causes birds to be healthier, since they do not have to expend as much energy fighting infections. A small change in body temperature can be fatal for humans. Small birds, meanwhile, lower their body temperature at night by several degrees during th

Swedish journalists lack trust in the judicial system's ability to protect them from illegal online harassment, according to a recent study. The primary reason is the judicial system's tendency to downplay the harm caused by online harassment. Oscar Björkenfeldt, a PhD student in the Sociology of Law department, believes that the judiciary needs to change attitudes toward online offences. "There i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers have discovered minerals from 43 meteorites that landed on Earth 470 million years ago. More than half of the mineral grains are from meteorites completely unknown or very rare in today’s meteorite flow. These findings mean that we will probably need to revise our current understanding of the history and d

Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center highlight the importance of controlling viral elements that reside in the genome and how their activation during development may contribute to brain disorders later in life. Around 10% of the human genome is composed of DNA sequences originating from viruses that infected our ancestors throughout the millions of years of our evolution. Under normal conditions

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered thirteen new species of extinct brittle stars on the island of Gotland, Sweden. The fossils were dug out of rocks from the Silurian Period (around 444 to 419 million years ago). The species have now been named after several famous hard rock musicians and bands. Ophiuroids are a group of echinoderms closely related to starfish. Their bodies c

I hope that you have all had an enjoyable summer and holiday! Two important reviews were completed during the summer: an examination of the Central Administration’s organisation and working methods and a pre-study on professional and career development for technical and administrative staff. Both reviews are very much in line with the University’s Platform for Strategic Work, which specifies measu
