As nuclear power once again takes centre stage in the energy debate, the demand for new knowledge is growing. At Lund University, a new six‑year research project is now being launched to examine what future reactor technologies will mean for the environment, safety and society. Backed by SEK 27 million in new funding from the Swedish Research Council, the initiative will enable researchers to esta

One of the world's greatest challenges is to feed the world's population in a sustainable way. Organic farming is one option, but the downside is that it produces lower yields than conventional farming. Studies led by Lund University now show that the yield difference between organic and conventional farming is smaller than previously thought, but the yields are still significantly smaller than fo

The energy sector is one of the sectors that need to undergo both rapid and far-reaching transformation to limit the effects of climate change. What is the significance of basic research, which investigates new theories and new approaches, in driving development? Solar energy has great potential to become one of our most important energy sources. The energy in the sun’s rays corresponds to more th

Research is like solving a puzzle, some might say. One of the biggest of these is the body’s proteins – with over 90,000 pieces to keep track of. LUM meets three professors of protein to understand what makes the subject so fascinating and how they are working to understand when proteins go wrong in the body. If a research field were to be evaluated based on the number of Nobel Prizes it has been

– I have red cells in my dish! When the phone call from PhD student Fábio Rosa came through, Professor Filipe Pereira knew that this was the start of something big. All their work had been leading to this moment. The red cells in the dish were from a mouse, and Filipe and his colleagues had been trying to reprogramme them into dendritic cells, specfically type 1 conventional dendritic cells, (cDC1

Interest in type 1 diabetes screening is growing as methods improve and new treatments become available to more patients. New research at Lund University demonstrates how screening for autoimmune diseases can be carried out on a large-scale basis. A new treatment that can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes has been approved for use in the United States. If the treatment Teplizumab becomes availabl

There has been a fear that the swine flu vaccine, Pandemrix, would increase the risk of autoimmune diseases other than narcolepsy. However, a new study of children from Sweden and Finland shows that the vaccine increased neither the risk of developing autoantibodies against insulin-producing beta cells nor the occurrence of type 1 diabetes. “On the contrary, the risk was reduced among vaccinated c
