Boy cycling to school through smog in Indonesia (Photo: Aulia Erlangga) How vulnerable is humanity in the face of climate change? And how have people around the world already been impacted? These are some of the questions to be answered on 28 February by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Two researchers from Lund University participated in the final report – Martina Angela Carett

Falsterbo, outside Malmö, is one of the places the researchers will focus on as part of the ITACHA project, which examines immobility as an adaptation strategy. A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who

Researchers have long wondered how our cells navigate inside the body. Two new studies, in which Lund University researcher Pontus Nordenfelt has participated, have now demonstrated that the cells use molecular force from within to steer themselves in a certain direction. This knowledge may be of great significance in the development of new drugs. Pontus Nordenfelt, researcher in infection medicin

In this study, the authors have investigated the effects of 15 000 genes on the balance between self-renewal and differentiation of the human blood stem cell (blue box). A deeper understanding would enable us to design better protocols to grow these cell An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20 000 genes in the hum

Researchers have developed a method to analyse and separate cells from the blood called "iso-acoustic focusing". Researchers at Lund University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States have developed a method to analyse and separate cells from the blood. Ultimately, the method, which goes under the name iso-acoustic focusing, can become significant to measure the efficien

Insulin secretion into the bloodstream requires a protein called CD59. New research led by Lund University shows that the two protein variants that are responsible for this function of CD59 are affected in diabetes. The study has been recently published in PNAS. I
