Hör samtal om företagsnedläggningar med universitetslektor Ola Jonsson, från Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi, om företagsnedläggningen i Bjuv. Invånarna i skånska Bjuv chockades av företaget Nomad Foods besked att den anrika livsmedelsproducenten Findus ska läggas ned. Och 450 anställda mister jobbet. Men i Bjuv har man inte gett upp hoppet.Hör samtal om företagsnedläggning

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.

Patients suffering from myocardial infarction who receive early add-on lipid-lowering medication have a significantly better prognosis than those who receive add-on treatment late, or not all. Based on the results of a study from Lund University in Sweden, many new heart attacks, strokes and deaths could be prevented. Cardiovascular disease is by far the most common cause of death worldwide, and m

Researchers at Lund University have developed a new method to determine how the composition of proteins in blood changes in response to disease or organ damage. This could provide a deeper understanding of how diseases affect the body and be used to discover new biomarkers in the blood to aid in diagnosing complex medical conditions. Our organs consist of a variety of specific proteins that are vi

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

A Swedish multi-centre study led by researchers at Lund University shows a link between low fibre consumption and the presence of unstable or high-risk plaque in coronary arteries – the type of plaque that can trigger blood clots and cause heart attacks. The study also links dietary pattern to the composition of the plaques, i.e. how potentially dangerous they are. Using advanced cardiac imaging,
Professors Carl Borrebaeck, Thoas Fioretos, Lao Saal and Åke Borg share their experiences in transforming groundbreaking research into diagnostic tools, treatments, and biotech companies. From navigating commercialization strategies and securing long-term funding to building strong teams and mentoring future innovators, they reflect on what it truly takes to make science matter—outside the lab.
