Chemistry researchers have now discovered how certain small biomolecules attach to one another. The researchers’ study also overturns the standard picture – particles with the same electrical charge appear to be drawn together and not vice versa. The results may be important for the development of new drugs. A number of chemistry researchers from several institutions including Lund University in S

Men perceive themselves as having less power in their private than in their public lives, a new study from Lund University has suggested. Furthermore, both men and women agree: power in your private life matters more than that in public life. Power is often associated with men who possess visible status and money. But it can also be exercised in one’s private life to initiate and relationships wit

What are the latest contributions to sustainability research, and who is working on the Global Goals? It is now possible to search for researchers, organisations, research output and projects that relate to the UN’s global goals. At the beginning of October, sustainability labels were launched to the public in Lund University’s Research Portal. The tagging can be used as one of many filters when l

Lund University's holding company is changing its name from LU Holding to LU Ventures. The new name aims to better reflect the company's mission: to build companies that transform research into new products and services creating global impact. "We are third best in the world, but we should not be satisfied – more research must lead to innovations." said Rector Erik Renström and highlighted a repor

She has survived a brain tumour and hates empty phrases such as “seize the day” and “live in the present”. Despite this, after the tumour operation Ulrika Sandén both researched and wrote a book on what she calls “Contentment in the moment”, an approach to life that she assimilated during her years in Vesterålen in northern Norway. “The present can be terrible. It’s more a matter of affecting the

David Gisselsson Nord and Tony Ingesson both love spy novels and have a nerdy interest in history. Their shared curiosity resulted in an interdisciplinary collaboration about how it might be possible to inspire smarter cancer treatment with the help of methods from espionage and intelligence analysis. Tony Ingesson finds it fairly easy to show a bit of attitude in front of the camera. David Gissel

Researchers have identified 395 genes that are differently expressed in people with type 2 diabetes. One of the genes proved to be very strongly associated with impaired insulin secretion. Now, researchers want to investigate if it is possible to use the genetic CRISPR/Cas9 scissors to correct the gene’s activity. The research team’s scientific paper was published in the Journal of Clinical Invest

During 7-8 of May, 80 researchers within MERGE and BECC met to learn about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and how their research can be linked, and contribute, to the implementation of the goals. We are just as far from reaching the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) as Burkina Faso. We just have different challenges.This is one of many terse quotes delivered by Katherine Richardson, pr

Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by a change in the genes which make up our DNA. Normally one change or mutation is not enough to trigger the development of cancer, instead cancer is typically comprised of a combination of genetic mutations. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed a novel somatic gene mutation is involved in the formation and progression of acute myeloid leukemia. The

Researchers from Lund University, led by Dr. Laurent Roybon, are working to further define underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy. Their latest discovery, published in PNAS, could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as these, as well as other synucleiopathies in the fu

Established ways of measuring carbon emissions can sometimes give misleading feedback on how national policies affect global emissions. In some cases, countries are even rewarded for policies that increase global emissions, and punished for policies that contribute to reducing them. “We have developed a new method that provides policy makers with more useful information, in order to set national t

The Planetary Health Diet. That's the diet that will keep us healthy and put food on the table for a future world population of 10 billion. But will it reduce strokes, premature deaths and greenhouse gas emissions? To find out, Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff compared different dietary indices. Her own index came out on top, and the results are now published in the prestigious Lancet Pla

New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study showed an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes (T1D). Notably, researchers also found that early adenovirus C infection seemed to confer protection from autoimmunity. The full findings
