Bird parents that receive help live longer

Long life is common among bird parents that get help with childcare. This finding comes from researchers at the universities of Lund and Oxford who reviewed data from more than 9,000 studies. Being a parent can be tough. In general, animals that care for many offspring die young, at least in species where parents are not helped by others. However, in some species things are different and parents r

Bumblebee detection dog on research duty

This summer, Lund University doctoral student Sofia Blomqvist will be investigating how pollinating insects such as bumblebees and solitary bees are faring in flower-rich roadside habitats. However, there is one problem: bumblebee nests are very difficult to find. Now she hopes to be able to train Ylle the dog to help her. Sofia Blomqvist’s objective is to repeat a previously criticized scientific

Lund University receives donation for Medical Humanities

A donation of SEK 76 million from Birgit Rausing will enable Lund University’s Faculty of Medicine to establish the humanities as an integrated part of medical training and research. This is a long-term investment, focusing on interpersonal relations between care providers and care recipients within all the faculty’s disciplines. Both research and education will be included in the new interdiscipl

Severe brain trauma activates dormant endogenous retroviruses in the brain

In a study led by Lund University, researchers can show for the first time that traumatic brain injuries activate dormant endogenous retroviruses that have been inserted into human DNA over the course of millions of years. The activation of these viruses may be the driving force behind the inflammation that worsens the brain injury. The study is published in Cell Reports. In the event of head trau

Unexpected development: Lund University selected to join European multimillion euro investment in food research

It worked out – in the end. The enormous European investment in food development, “Food KIC”, did not go to the consortium of which Lund University was a part in 2016. But that was then. Now the board of the winning network, EIT Food, has decided that Lund University is to become a full member of their network instead. More healthy food products in the shops and more sustainable production: these

Tiny light circuits mimic the brain – at a fraction of the energy cost

On-chip optical communication between tiny light-based components can make neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing much smaller and more energy-efficient. In this work, researchers demonstrate that individual nanowire devices on a silicon chip can transmit and receive light signals directly to each other. These miniature circuits communicate reliably, using significantly less power than convention

Researchers to study how self-learning software can provide improvements to healthcare

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are the latest topics within health and care services. With its capacity to process large volumes of data, self-learning software can detect complex correlations between patients, find disease markers at an early stage and make more correct diagnoses. However, this new technology also implies a risk. An interdisciplinary research project involving
