The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Olga had published academic work over 25 times before she fell victim to a predatory journal. Today she is embarrassed be

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

Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a novel target for the expansion of human blood stem cells ex vivo and shed light on the mechanism of action of a stem cell promoting molecule, currently in phase II clinical trials. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a curative therapy for many patients suffering from life threatening blood disorders. This treatment is currently limit

In a collaborative study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center and University College London have developed a novel method of isolating ‘young’ stem cells still present in old mice. They show that activity of mitochondria, the power generators of the cell, is a stronger indicator of stem cell fitness than age and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of age associated disease. The

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

In March 2015, a valuable globe of Mars was stolen from the Astronomy Library. After disappearing without a trace for almost a decade, it suddenly turned up at an antique dealer in Stockholm. 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

I believe that a common vision, clear and explicit core values and systematic work on the priority issues can better enable the researchers at the University to conduct research of the highest international quality that helps people to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition. The Research Board has drawn up a new Research Strategy for 2023-26, which has now been approved

Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new research about the disease to clinical practice. However, first they have to find a way

During the pandemic, employees should avoid putting pressure on their managers for clear answers for which there is no basis. “As a manager, you have to stand firm in the uncertainty and not take hasty decisions”, says Johan Bertlett, who is in charge of the popular new summer course on Leadership and Followership in Organisational Change Processes. The course is part of the study opportunities in

What has been the main option for a long time – i.e. relocating basically all physics and chemistry to Science Village – is no longer relevant. The costs would be too high and the logistics of providing first and second-cycle education in particular would be difficult to organise. “This was crucial. The costs plus the fact that everything indicated that if we had relocated first and second-cycle e
