How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th
Ouyang Yuan defends her Ph.D. thesis on 14 October 2022. As a medical student with a longstanding interest in blood malignancies, her research has focused on better understanding the development of a specific type of blood cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The hope is that these findings will help lead to a better understanding of AML and future treatments that can one day prevent, delay, or c

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was clearly illegal. Yet it is unlikely that Vladimir Putin will be held accountable. Most people agree that war is morally wrong. But what is the legal framework? The UN Charter, which in 1945 laid the foundations for the UN's missions, powers, rules of procedure and organisation, prohibits military force between states.

In the future, our clothes will contain a tag that we can scan to access information. This will allow us to see how the garments were produced, where we can have them repaired, and how they can be recycled. Perhaps we will even be able to see who has previously worn the garment or be given the opportunity to rent it out. This spring, an innovation project was launched in which students at Campus H

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination – the recipe – for each type of immune cell. Our immune system consists of different typ
