Bara 20 procent av de lungor som doneras är i sådant skick att de kan användas för transplantation. Och när de väl transplanterats, är det många som stöts bort. Sandra Lindstedt, forskare och adjungerad professor i thoraxkirurgi, försöker förbättra denna statistik genom sin forskning. De övriga 80 procenten av donerade lungor kan inte användas eftersom de har en skada. – De ena stora utmaningen vi

En storskalig studie av avförings- och blodprover visar att det finns starka kopplingar mellan tarmbakterier och metaboliter i blodet. Forskarna bakom studien har bland annat hittat nya associationer mellan ett vanligt läkemedel för behandling av typ 2-diabetes och tarmfloran. Studien har letts av forskare vid Uppsala universitet och Lunds universitet. Tarmflorans roll för sjukdom och hälsa har bl

Narrativ medicin använder konst, musik och litteratur som verktyg för att förstå patienter. En av de främsta pionjärerna inom ämnet heter professor Rita Charon från Columbia University och hon kommer att hålla årets Sandblom Prize Lecture den 4 oktober. Vårdpersonal som fått utbildning i narrativ medicin är ofta bättre på att lyssna in, att förstå andras perspektiv. Det kan såklart handla om patie

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people. In recent years, ketamine has emerged as a new treatment for depression, after studies have shown it to be a fast-acting antidepressant. “

LU researchers Lea Fünfschilling and Carmelo D’Agostino have been awarded an ERC Starting Grant each, for their research on innovation and knowledge dynamics and automated vehicles respectively. The ERC Starting Grant is aimed at researchers in the early stages of their career, and scientific excellence is the only selection criterion. This year, more than 4,000 researchers in Europe applied for t

To find out why so many people have left their farms in north-eastern Syria, physical geographer Lina Eklund uses both satellite data and interviews. ‟It is important to understand what can be linked to climate change and what are societal factors, so that we can better equip ourselves for the future.” Lina Eklund has specialised in remote sensing, which enables her to determine what happens over

When we talk about antibodies against COVID-19, we tend to mean the so-called neutralising antibodies, that offer protection by blocking the virus from invading our cells. Now, a new study from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that non-neutralising antibodies may also be important in providing protection against Covid. “Our results indicate that non-neutralising antibodies could also provide

Extreme poverty is still an urgent issue around the world. Four universities have initiated a new research school on sustainable development and poverty reduction to address the challenge. The research school will be coordinated via Lund University. The new research school, which has been granted six million SEK from the Swedish Research Council, aims to offer novel, interdisciplinary and high-qua

A handful of selected artists have paired up with researchers from the European Spallation Source (ESS) and the results are unexpected meetings, different thoughts and new challenges. Both for the artists and the researchers. The results will help ESS to communicate complex research and the impact it may have on the region and the world. ESS is being built in northeast Lund and this unique materia

Allow stories to speak and weave in memories. A multidimensional vision could make urban development less stereotypical, according to ethnologist Elisabeth Högdahl, who is the manager of the research project "Developing and Building Locations Through Human Memories". "I hope that the site developers of tomorrow will think more broadly and allow space for people's stories." Can memories build place

Through analyzes of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found evidence of an extreme solar storm that occurred about 9,200 years ago. What puzzles the researchers is that the storm took place during one of the sun's more quiet phases – during which it is generally believed our planet is less exposed to such events. The sun is a prerequisite

What is worth sustaining? Steinunn Knúts-Önnudóttir's research is all about a theatre audience facing themselves with that profound question. "In my work I offer a frame or a situation for my guests to meet their own stories and their values through an encounter with a host in their own surroundings". For 20 years, the Icelander Steinunn Knúts-Önnudóttir has tried to create a meaningful dialogue w

Using high-resolution spectroscopy, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in mapping the atmosphere of an exoplanet located 322 light years from Earth. The knowledge gained about the hot gas surrounding the Jupiter-like planet is important for the understanding of Earth-like planets. WASP-189b is a planet outside our own solar system, with a dayside temperature of 3,200 degrees C

T cells, antibodies, immune defences – concepts we have learnt more about after a couple of years of a global Covid-19 pandemic. Understanding of how the immune system works against cancer is another major issue for research and development of new treatments. ‟Antibodies have been used in cancer care for close to 25 years but it is over the past five years that new techniques and treatments have t
