RNA drugs one step closer to be being used in cancer treatment
Charting how normal cells help cancer cells
In a tumour, cancer cells grow and multiply in an uncontrolled manner. However, the cancer cells also need help from other, normal cells for the tumour to develop. This network of ‘helper cells’ is the focus of Kristian Pietras’ research. Two years ago, Kristian Pietras left Karolinska Institutet for Lund, attracted by the opportunity to establish an entirely new research group at Medicon Village.

AI can both strengthen and undermine trust in healthcare
When used as a diagnostic aid, artificial intelligence (AI) can help physicians save time and make more accurate diagnoses. However, physicians should also understand and be able to explain the computer’s decision to the patient to avoid jeopardising trust, says AI researcher Stefan Larsson. AI also puts us at a crossroads: do we want to reflect the world or change it? Stefan Larsson is a research

New study: Parents' metabolic traits can affect the child's health over time
New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previous research by diabetes researcher Rashmi Prasad has sh

New findings may lead the way to future therapeutic approaches for Parkinson’s Disease and similar diseases
Researchers from Lund University, led by Dr. Laurent Roybon, are working to further define underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy. Their latest discovery, published in PNAS, could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as these, as well as other synucleiopathies in the fu
Vectura is the landlord for future nanolab at Science Village
The procurement process is concluded. It has been decided that Vectura Fastigheter will host Lund University’s Nanolab Science Village, a lab for manufacturing nanomaterials and semiconductor components. The lab will be a neighbour of the major research facilities ESS and MAX IV, and together they will form a hub of scientific facilities that will create a competitive research environment with gre

A closer look at the making of a novel stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s Disease
A recent publication by researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center, gives a closer look at the making of a novel stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s Disease, STEM-PD, which has been approved for a Phase I/IIa clinical trial in Europe. Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects almost 8 million people worldwide, causing movement difficulties due to the loss of dopami

Intrinsic Aging or Lab-Induced Stress? Understanding Genetic Changes in Blood Stem Cells
Changes occur in all cells of the human body as we age. Blood stem cells, in particular, lose some of their functionality over time, contributing to various blood disorders and disease-related conditions. Scientists are investigating the reasons behind this decline. According to a recent study by researchers from the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University, published in Nature Aging, the genetic

A chemically empowered hunt for space grains
Every year Birger Schmitz, Fredrik Terfelt and Ellinor Martin dissolve five to ten tonnes of limestone with highly dangerous chemicals. The aim is to find microscopic grains from fossilised meteorites that are many millions of years old, which can provide important clues to the development of life on Earth. LUM was given a tour of the world-unique acid laboratory. There is a smacking sound as Fr

The cancer researcher and the intelligence expert
David Gisselsson Nord and Tony Ingesson both love spy novels and have a nerdy interest in history. Their shared curiosity resulted in an interdisciplinary collaboration about how it might be possible to inspire smarter cancer treatment with the help of methods from espionage and intelligence analysis. Tony Ingesson finds it fairly easy to show a bit of attitude in front of the camera. David Gissel

Early signs for ending up in a life of crime
We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Sustainable cities and communities in focus at the research festival Our Future City/H22 on 7-10 June
Can fashion ever become sustainable? How do we transition to environmentally smart e-commerce? What role will universities play in future society? These are some of the subjects to be discussed during the research festival Our Future City on 7-10 June at Campus Helsingborg. The event is organised in collaboration with the daily newspapers Helsingborgs Dagblad. Our Future City can most simply be de
Safe fieldwork: Who is responsible for the security?
When researchers are working in the field, they may be faced with challenging and sometimes dangerous situations. How does Lund University prepare its doctoral students and researchers for fieldwork? When LUM asks about the faculties’ procedures, it becomes clear that the departments are primarily responsible. Dealing with dangerous situations in the field once they have arisen is not enough – the

The cyberattack targeting Lund University's system supplier, Miljödata
An investigation by Miljödata AB, the company which supplies the Adato system to Lund University, shows that the group behind the cyberattack on Adato was able to access certain information about all of the University’s employees. Former employees are also affected. This page was updated 29 September 2025.Both current and former employees of Lund University are affected, with the latter group incl
