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

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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Currently, it can take weeks and even months to produce results on how the future climate could affect agriculture. Now, researchers at Lund University are looking to change this and have produced simplified models, so-called emulators, to make it simpler – and above all, faster – to link vegetation, finance and clima

Professor Ian Manners, who is also due to be inaugurated as a professor tomorrow, teaches alongside Joel Abdelmoez on the course Political Cinéma. – Why Cinéma and not Cinema? –  The course is called political cinéma to remind us that ‘cinéma’ is both the production and projection of films. In 1895 the Lumière brothers first used the cinématographe motion picture system (a camera, projector, and f

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

“We must understand the ageing process itself in order to help people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, and to possibly enable us to prevent these diseases from arising”, says Henrik Ahlenius of the Stem Cell Centre at Lund University. His aim is to develop an experimental model for human nerve cell ageing that enables the researchers to understand why a disease is triggered. In th

Birds are masters of flight and can even outperform aircraft. Bar-tailed godwits, for example, can fly from Alaska to New Zealand – 11 600 km – in one eight-day, non-stop flight! To manage this, the birds must be able to fly very efficiently. How do they do it? What does a feather have that an aircraft wing does not? One of the greatest challenges in today’s society is to reduce the consumption of

Cycling becomes a lot harder if you don’t oil the bicycle chain! Similarly, you can’t cut metal, turn metal on a lathe or press sheet metal without lubricant. Previously in engineering works there was a flow of lubricant that is hazardous for health and the environment, but now the technology exists to reduce consumption of lubricant. In time, the mineral oils used today may be replaced by vegetab

Earlier this year, Stem Cell Center, in partnership with MultiPark, brought together three core facilities into one - The Cell and Gene Therapy Core Facility - aiming to support advanced science at the highest international level. This new infrastructure includes the previous AAV vector lab, and much more! Equipped with the latest technologies and specialist expertise, this core provides a plethor

Nature-based solutions offer excellent opportunities to address environmental and social challenges. They can help mitigate climate change and protect biodiversity. However, better governance and funding, complemented by clear political priorities, are needed to scale up such solutions in the Nordic region. This is the finding of a new research report from the Nordic Council of Ministers, in which

The disciplinary board at Lund University exists to ensure that all students have a fair and safe study environment. The board handles matters such as cheating, interference and harassment and ensures that rules and guidelines are followed and that everyone can feel safe and respected at the university. Elisabet Londos is a member of the disciplinary board and tells us more about the board's missi

Although guidelines have long existed regarding how osteoarthritis should be treated, only half of patients undergo the recommended basic treatment.
