For the first time, scientists are able to describe the exact mechanism for how a common genetic variant leads to a disruption in blood lipid levels that significantly increases the risk of heart disease. The one in every three persons who carries both copies of the risk allele engages a 40 percent higher risk of suffering a heart attack than persons who do not carry either copy of the risk allele

LU managed the transition to digital teaching. But the spring Coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on students in Lund. They found the digital exams to be stressful and sometimes unfair. This is what emerges from the student unions’ surveys whose results have now been compiled. In late spring, seven students’ unions sent out seven somewhat different surveys. 1900 students responded. The questi

Ten Ukrainian medical students, ten supervisors from the Faculty, for ten weeks. Initiator and professor, David Gisselsson Nord, is happy that the pilot project in medical research is up and going. Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine has led to serious disruptions to Ukraine's medical education system. Some universities have suffered extensive destruction and have had to evacuate their campus

The loss of animals, often due to unregulated or illegal hunting, has consequences for the carbon storage capacity of forests, yet this link is rarely mentioned in high-level climate policy discussions, according to a new study from Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies and the University of Copenhagen. Many wildlife species play a key role in dispersing the seeds of tropical trees, pa

Astronomic amounts of new digital information about the world, our genetic heritage and our habits are continuously being generated. This information is a goldmine for research – as long as the data can be accessed, stored and analysed. “We have a lot of expertise in the field.

A new study shows that carbon nanotubes used as additives to polymers – to make materials lighter, stronger, and electrically conductive – do not necessarily degrade under the conditions that normally prevail in waste incineration plants. However, if the temperature is increased, or the residence time in the flue gas is extended, they will be destructed. “Contrary to what has previously been thoug
