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

Professor Emily Boyd will present immobility as a climate adaptation strategy at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP30, in Belém, Brazil. “The majority of people want to stay in place. We need to acknowledge and explore that as we adapt societies to climate change.” She explains that she was motivated to start researching the findings she is now presenting at COP30 with international

During spring, a faculty group has worked on developing alternatives for a new organisation for the Faculty's research infrastructure. Kajsa M Paulsson has led the work and tells more. Why does the Faculty want to reorganise the research infrastructure? "A large number of the Faculty's research infrastructures have expressed that they want more dialogue with the Faculty management and increased op

A new international study, led by Lund University and Nagoya University, Japan, shows that changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease may affect how rapidly ALS progresses. In time, the findings may contribute to more reliable individual prognoses and better-designed clinical trials. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a serious neurodegenerative disease in which the nerve cells that control t

The cells that produce insulin and glucagon are difficult to access, as they are located inside the fragile pancreas. Researchers looking to understand how they function and what underpins the development of diabetes are therefore often advised to conduct their experiments on animals. The Human Tissue Lab, on the other hand, provides researchers with access to cells from deceased human donors; thi

A three-kilometre-long cylinder of ice sheds light on what the climate was like one hundred thousand years ago. The ice contains traces of periods of higher or lower temperatures on Earth, but also of whether there were violent volcanic eruptions and high solar activity. By understanding the climate of the past, researchers can develop better models to predict the climate of the future. There are

Small sensors do a big job. Increasing numbers of things can now be controlled and measured, detected and regulated via small sensors on machines, in nature or in and on our bodies. These sensors gather and transmit large amounts of information via wireless communication, while requiring very little electrical power. To reduce electricity consumption, researchers must work with each tiny electroni

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. During her Ph.D. studies, Yiyi Yang has been investigating the role of microglia in the pathological development of Alzheimer’s disease. On the 3rd of June, it is time to defend her work supervised by Prof. Tomas Deierborg. Now, Yiyi tells us about her research in the Experimental Neuroinflammation Laboratory as being

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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 m

This year’s largest grant from the IngaBritt och Arne Lundbergs Forskningsstiftelse goes to Vinay S. Swaminathan at Lund University. He is awarded five million SEK for his research on how healthy breast tissue develops into tumors and spreads. Vinay S. Swaminathan’s research group has developed 3D models that mimics the tumor microenvironment in the laboratory. The technology opens new opportuniti

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 summary Skin cells from a person carrying a risk gene for type 2 diabetes were “re

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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 actua

Antibodies are the body's superheroes, recognizing and eliminating disease-causing substances. By combining parts from antibodies, researchers at Lund University have designed a hybrid antibody that better stimulates the immune system against both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and streptococcal bacteria. Antibodies can be likened to keys, with antigens as the corresponding locks. Each antibody is uniquely
