Researchers from Lund University interested in understanding how aging affects the brain have made a new discovery that will help make it easier to study age-related brain diseases and potential treatments in the future. The key to this? human skin cells. The human brain is often likened to the night sky. Look up and one will see billions upon billions of stars. Our brains are similar in that with

20 years of measurements are only the beginning. Long-term measurements over several decades are crucial to enable predictions of how airborne particles affect the future climate, according to Lund University researcher Erik Ahlberg. “Long-term measurements are important to prove that various climate initiatives actually work. Say we were to close all coal power plants today – with our time-series

Crashing computers or smartphones - and security loopholes that allow hackers to steal millions of passwords - could be prevented if it were possible to design error-free software. To date, this is a problem that neither engineers nor current supercomputers have been able to solve. A major reason for this is the computing power required to verify large programs. Today’s computers use vast amounts

It was 17 December 1944. The American B-24 bomber aircraft, better known as the Tulsamerican, was circling the island of Vis off the coast of Croatia. The plane was damaged following an attack by the Germans and finally crashed into the sea. Seven of the ten crew members survived but three died, among them the pilot, Eugene Ford. Now, the marine archaeologist Brendan Foley has brought him home for

How can a tiny genetic change alter the body´s sugar balance? At Lund University, researchers have used stem cells to create two versions of the same cell – one carrying the genetic variant and one without – to see how melatonin affects insulin-producing cells and contributes to development of type 2 diabetes. Study summarySkin cells from a person carrying a risk gene for type 2 diabetes were “rep

Three researchers joined the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine at Lund University (WCMM LU) during the spring. In total, there are now 24 research team leaders recruited to the WCMM at Lund University – 14 clinical researchers and 10 basic researchers. Together, they drive forward research within regenerative medicine and in a translational setting – from molecule to man. The three new rese

LUCSUS researchers are participating in this year’s United Nations Climate Change conference, COP30, in Belém, Brazil. Three ongoing research areas at LUCSUS will be highlighted at side events at the COP: immobility in climate adaptation, environmental human right defenders in the Amazon and inner-outer transformation for climate action. The associated projects: ITACHA (Immobility in a Changing Cl

Academic misconduct has increased with about 200% during the past covid years. As a precaution Lund University has started a project to prevent deception and misleading in examination, whether it’s unauthorized cooperation, plagiarism, or non-allowed aids. In every study environment there is a unique culture, with boundaries to what is considered acceptable and unacceptable by the students themsel

Local currencies may arise when there is a clear need for certain products and services in a local area and where the competences to produce them exist but the lack of traditional money puts obstacles in the way. The lack of money might be the result of pandemics, war, natural disasters, financial crises or poverty. Ester Barinaga, professor of entrepreneurship at the School of Economics and Manag

It is time to summarise 2021, a year in which nothing was the same as before, if a year can ever be like another. For me personally, it has been transformative to take over as vice-chancellor of Lund University together with a new management team: deputy vice-chancellor Lena Eskilsson and the five pro vice-chancellors Per Mickwitz, Kristina Eneroth, Ann-Kristin Wallengren, Jimmie Kristensson and V
