Inta Gribonika awarded SSMF starting grant for research on skin humoral immunity
Borders don’t just divide nations — they define our bodies too. At the skin and in the gut, our barrier organs form the frontline of defense against infection. Here, diverse communities of friendly microbes, the microbiota, help maintain health and keep these borders strong, backed up by an immune system ready to deploy antibodies against any intruder. Protecting these barrier organs is central to

How your lifestyle can affect your risk of dementia
Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

Musical experiment – subject of research
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The artist performs, the audience listens and applaud to show their appreciation. These are the given roles during a concert. But what happens if we dissolve these roles and the audience acts in a way that is completely unexpected. Does this change the song? The sound? The communication? This is what an interdisciplin

Diminished focus on scapegoats – scrutiny of the entire research environment
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. More focus on the institutional environment and less on individual researchers in the assessment of research misconduct – and protection for whistle-blowers should be increased. These are some new points in the revised code of conduct for research integrity – points developed in a process led by Göran Hermerén. The EU

A new multipurpose on-off switch for inhibiting bacterial growth
Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success

"Circular economy is just another growth model"
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Public interest in degrowth is on the rise in these times of global warming awareness, but the idea is hardly new. We talked to professor Hervé Corvellec after the 6th International Degrowth Conference took place in Malmoe. "Degrowth is the idea of turning economic development from growth-based into its opposite.

Newly discovered protein variants are key to insulin secretion
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. Insulin affects many bodily functions, and is required for survival. It causes cells to take up glucose from the blood, storage of energy
