How do you spark curiosity about science in classrooms and workplaces? One answer is Borrow a Researcher — a national outreach initiative that makes it easy for schools, non-profit organisations, and workplaces to meet active researchers. Twice a year, participants can book a researcher for a visit, either on site or online, to learn about research topics or what it is like to work as a scientist.

Researchers at Lund University and DTU in Copenhagen have discovered enzymes in the colon that, when mixed with red blood cells, can cut away parts of the carbohydrates that separate our ABO blood groups from each other. The method brings us closer to the dream of a universal blood for everyone. It has long been known that blood from different individuals cannot be mixed randomly without the risk

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment", says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor at Lund University who led

While Primula is down, it is important that everyone manually documents the cases that they normally register in Primula themselves, so that the information can be registered correctly afterwards, when we regain access to the system. To ensure this works the Faculty management has come to the conclusion that we at the Faculty of Medicine should follow this routine as long as the shutdown lasts. La

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
