Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) campus. Architect Klas Anshelm’s red brick buildings ha

It has been a year since an extensive Research and Innovation Bill was introduced. The Ministry of Education, research funding bodies and higher education institutions are still busy converting it and its initiatives into action. Perhaps this is why the autumn’s budget bill now feels a little thin on ideas and forward-thinking in those parts relating to our sector. In addition, the Government has

The astronomical treasure has finally been returned to Lund. Astronomers have been using globes to visualise moons and planets ever since the 18th century. As telescopes improved in the late 19th century, int

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

Join us on a journey through the centuries, a hunt for the point where the present and the past merge. The history of the University is alive and well among us. After all, it is the same city, the same streets and buildings now as then. The only thing that distinguishes us from our colleagues from the 1600s, from a purely geographical point of view, is a measurable stretch in space: 350 years of U

Cell replacement therapy has long been a hope for patients with Parkinson’s disease and efforts are on their way to use stem cell derived-dopaminergic neurons in clinical trials. On 14 October, Jessica Giacomoni defends her thesis. Her project about the direct conversion of human glial cells into therapeutic neurons directly within the brain has the ultimate goal to become an alternative to cell t

In the early 1950s, no one knew what caused Parkinson's disease. Then, Arvid Carlsson's discovery of dopamine opened the door to world-leading transplantations for Parkinson's patients. Thanks to the pioneering basic research at MultiPark, stemcell-derived neural cells can now be tested in a clinical trial for the first time. In Parkinson's disease, the nerve cells in an area of the brain that con

A person who carries the mutant gene will at some point in his or her life develop the deadly Huntington's disease. This brain disease can be inherited from generation to generation and begins insidiously, making it increasingly difficult to regulate emotions, thoughts, then movements.

Den svenska skattepolitiken leder till minskad välfärd, tappad internationell konkurrenskraft och ökade samhällsklyftor. Det anser de flesta nationalekonomer, däribland skatteforskaren Åsa Hansson som menar att det är hög tid för en skattereform. ”På sikt skulle alla vinna på det ”, säger hon. De senaste decennierna har skatter på fastigheter, konsumtion och visst kapital successivt minskat samtid
