Recent research shows that mild infections without symptoms of illness can still lead to serious consequences by reducing the lifespan of the infected individuals. The study at Lund University in Sweden has been carried out on malaria-infected migratory birds. The infection is thought to speed up the ageing process by shortening the telomeres (i.e., the chromosomes ends) at a faster rate and there

A research group at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to identify the most malignant tumours in children. The method involves studying genetic ‘micro-variation’, rather than the presence of individual mutations. In adult cancers, the tumour cells are more genetically variable than healthy cells. When a cancerous cell divides, the chromosomes often end up in the wrong place, or break an

We have an innate mechanism that ensures that our blood vessels do not become blocked. The protein A1M, alpha-1-microglobulin, is naturally present in the body and prevents oxidation of blood fats – a major cause of atherosclerosis. The discovery is the work of a research group led by Professor Bo Åkerström from Lund University. VIDEO: How 'cleaner' protein protects us“Atherosclerosis is largely c

Food waste is completely bananas, according to a group of Master’s students in Food Technology at Lund University in Sweden. In fact, a significant amount of the 100 million tonnes of bananas produced annually worldwide is discarded before it even reach consumers.

We should not be afraid to joke about one another’s ethnic background. Used with sensitivity, such jokes can instead help to challenge the stereotypical image of immigrants, according to Lund University sociologist Henriette Frees Esholdt, who has studied humour at a multi-ethnic workplace in Denmark. Henriette Frees Esholdt’s study was carried out in a large organisation in the hospitality sector

Extremely premature babies that reach the age of two and a half demonstrate significantly poorer cognition, language and motor skills than children born at full term. The new study from Lund University in Sweden is one of few to study children born prematurely at such a young age. The results could be used to provide help at the right time. Extremely premature babies are those born in week 28 or e

The new Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine at Lund University, which will focus on regenerative medicine, is part of a national plan to re-establish Sweden’s leading position in medical research. The centre is being funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, in collaboration with Lund University and Region Skåne. “It is very gratifying that the foundation can develop this important

A production facility for start-ups in the field of nanotechnology may be built in the Science Village in Lund, a world-class research and innovation village that is also home to ESS, the European Spallation Source. “With this new facility, we want to create the conditions to enable new companies to develop from the R&D phase to full production, without needing to leave Sweden,” says Lars Samuelso

A new report from Lund University in Sweden shows how the pharmaceutical industry time and again violates regulations on the marketing of drugs. The study has been published in the journal PLOS Medicine. In order to avoid unethical marketing, the pharmaceutical industry has a well-established system of self-regulation. There are individual national systems, but they are very similar in many Europe

Researchers have long sought treatments that can slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. Current treatments have for decades been only symptomatic in nature, supplying the neurotransmitter dopamine, which the dying nerve cells can no longer produce. Results from a recent clinical study offer hope that future therapies could take advantage of the brain's own protective mechanisms to limit neur

Lund University’s fastest growing online course can have up to a thousand new participants every week. ‘AI, business and the future of work’ is a success story – but behind it lies many hours of hard work. “In total, we have probably spent 8,000 hours preparing and producing the course,” says Anamaria Dutceac Segesten, currently senior lecturer in European Studies and deputy dean of the Joint Facu

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

To most effectively deliver aid to alleviate poverty, you have to know where the people most in need are. In many countries, this is often done with household surveys. But these are usually infrequent and cover limited locations.Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have created a step change in how to measure poverty and other human development indicators.

Every year, the Swedish Riksdag organises a research day. This year the theme was “artificial intelligence”. The aim is to give Members of Parliament the opportunity to gain new knowledge and to highlight the value of science for politics, democracy, and parliamentary decision-making.

Som en del av framtidsveckan vid Lunds universitet arrangerade LU Futura tillsammans med Centrum för europaforskning den 15 oktober 2020 ett seminarium om EU efter corona. Fokus hos de fyra panelisterna låg på EU:s långa rad av kriser, med coronakrisen som det senaste exemplet. Sammantaget ansåg de att även om coronaviruset sätter press på EU så behöver pandemin inte nödvändigtvis leda till en vän

I mitten av augusti i år anlände doktorand Alena Minchenia till Belarus och mötte en nation där massdemonstrationer brutit ut. Det internationellt omtvistade presidentvalet den 9 augusti följdes av tre dagars massiva protester. De möttes av extremt statligt förtryck i vad Minchenia säger numera har blivit känt som ”kriget”. Sedan dess har landet befunnit sig i ett tillstånd av protester som är oöv

Mänskliga rättigheter och demokrati är under hot på flera håll i Europa. Tio år efter att rättsstatskrisen påbörjades i Ungern lade EU i december förra året slutligen fram en uppgörelse som direkt knyter pengaflöde till respekt för rättsstatens principer. Men är överenskommelsen tillräcklig? Tar EU verkligen mänskliga rättigheter på allvar? En viktig pusselbit i spelet som ofta förbises är regione

Den 8 maj i år enades EU:s stats- och regeringschefer om att stärka den sociala pelarens betydelse för EU-samarbetet och anta den så kallade Portodeklarationen. I Sverige betraktas denna utveckling med en hög grad av skepsis och närmast som ett hot mot den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen. På bordet ligger nämligen också det kontroversiella förslaget om minimilön i EU. Men innebär förslaget verklige
