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

Data literacy is increasing its importance for current and future professionals. But what is ‘data literacy’ exactly and how do LUSEM educators work with it? We asked Blerim Emruli, Senior Lecturer in Informatics, and recently announced as one of the select participants in the Inaugural Professor Ambassador Class at Qlik. Senior Lecturer Blerim Emruli is one of seven educators from around the glob

Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support

How do some planets end up extremely close to their host stars, despite appearing to have formed much farther away? A new international study, led by the University of Southern Queensland in collaboration with MIT, seeks to answer this question. From Lund University, Judith Korth contributed key dynamical analysis.The study focuses on TOI‑1130b, a mini‑Neptune orbiting a star about 190 light‑years

Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel
