A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Peace-building, mediation and justice issues have always been on the agenda. But the researcher path was not the obvious choice for Karin Aggestam, who has now been appointed to the prestigious Pufendorf chair. She is both the first woman and the first political scientist to obtain it – and she hopes to pave the way for an international Master’s programme in diplomacy. Karin Aggestam will be insta

The relocation of the specialised centres to the faculties which is currently underway within LU has generated concern and discussion. “But once you know where you are moving, a calmer and more constructive phase begins”, says Bo Ahrén, chair of the University’s specialised centres. But Merle Jacob, professor of research policy, finds the path to the right faculty to be rather long and uncertain a

Fifty per cent of all pregnant women in need of a C-section are unable to get one. Most people around the world still do not have access to safe surgery, resulting in millions of deaths and disabilities each year. As a paediatric surgeon, Lars Hagander wanted to find ways to help, and has travelled the world to perform surgery. But, of course, this is not enough. A major change is needed. Seibatu

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

A treatment that has reduced plaque development in mice has now been tested in people with psoriasis. Jan Nilsson at Lund University is one of the researchers behind the clinical study that showed a reduced inflammation of the coronary arteries, which in turn may reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack. People with diabetes may also benefit from the treatment in the future. Cardiovascular res

The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable
