Could singing spread Covid-19?
If silence is golden, speech is silver – and singing the worst. Singing doesn’t need to be silenced, however, but at the moment the wisest thing is to sing with social distancing in place. The advice comes from aerosol researchers Jakob Löndahl and Malin Alsved at Lund University. They have studied the amount of particles we actually emit when we sing – and by extension – if we contribute to the i

Lead halide perovskites – a horse of a different color
Tri-national team of researchers from NanoLund, the Russian Academy of Science, and the Technical University of Dresden in Germany has developed a new methodology for the study of lead halide perovskites. Metal halide perovskites have been under intense investigation over the last decade due to the remarkable rise in their performance in optoelectronic devices such as solar cells or light-emitting

Filipe Pereira awarded the Eric K. Fernström Prize for Young Researchers
Filipe Pereira, professor of molecular medicine at Lund University, is awarded this year's Fernström prize for young, exceptionally promising, and successful researchers. He receives the award for his work on reprogramming blood cells and the development of immunotherapies based on this technology. It was a sheep that determined Filipe Pereira's career choice. He was in high school when he heard a

A new eye on the universe opens in Chile
A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

The Scientific Advisory Board: “Important contributions within type 1 diabetes research”
Lund University Diabetes Centre’s Scientific Advisory Board give researchers valuable feedback on ongoing research. Frances Ashcroft and Flemming Pociot from the board were invited to the LUDC retreat in the city of Helsingborg recently and they were impressed by the range of the research being performed at the centre. Research within type 1 diabetes specifically caught their attention. Frances As

EU project shows welfare policies are vital to climate mitigation
In order to achieve the 1.5-degree target set by the Paris Agreement, massive cuts in carbon emissions are needed. For the EU, this requires a reduction of household carbon footprints from 2015 of almost 70% by 2030 and over 90% by 2050. Too often, climate policies are not placed within a broader social context and policy makers neglect to see that welfare policies are vital to climate mitigation.

Summary of ClimBEco summer meeting 2021 - Food and.....everything else
At this ClimBEco summer meeting, mostly held online but with parallel in-person workshops in Gothenburg, Lund and Malmö, was themed around one of humanities ultimate equalizers; that of food. The way we produce, move and use food globally has important implications on just about every challenge we currently face in the world, reflected in the overall title of the summer meeting. To start off the e

New research describes the differences between mice and humans
Increased metabolism in mitochondria resulted in higher levels of natural killer cells
In a recent study from Lund University, researchers have discovered that metabolic changes in the blood cell, affect the development of blood during the fetal stage. They found a previously unknown metabolic regulator - a kind of switch - which turns out to be crucial for how different types of blood cells develop. In the long run, this could mean that natural killer cells, a type of white blood c
EU funding for killer cells that fight cancer
As certain tumor cells are able to conceal themselves in the body, it often means that patients with aggressive cancers experience a recurrence of the cancer after treatment. By programming genetically modified killer immune cells to seek and destroy the hiding tumor cells and tumor stem cells, it is hoped that we can develop more effective treatment options. An international research project, wit

Exploring Genomic Dark Matter: Christopher Douse Awarded $1.2M Grant by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
Christopher Douse, a new group leader at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University, has been awarded the Ben Barres Early Career Acceleration Award by The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. This award includes a $1.2 million grant to support his lab’s exploration of the repetitive portion of the human genome, so-called ‘genomic dark matter’, and its role in human brain development and degeneration.

New article in The Conversation: How dramatic daily swings in oxygen shaped early animal life
In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal
