Authors of a recent paper demonstrate that, like ERMES (ER-mitochondria encounter structure) in fungal cells, PDZD8 (PDZ domain containing 8) tethers mitochondria to the ER in mammalian cells. However, identifying PDZD8 as a "functional ortholog" of yeast Mmm1 (maintenance of mitochondrial morphology protein 1) is at odds with the phylogenetic data. PDZD8 and Mmm1 are paralogs, not orthologs, whic
Vår forskning fokuserar på personer med allvarlig och långvarig psykisk sjukdom och deras livssituation i samhället. De omfattande omstruktureringarna av det psykiatriska vård- och stödsystemet har inneburit långtgående krav på en utveckling av nya kunskapsbaserade vård- och stödinsatser. Detta för att främja hälsa och ett meningsfullt liv i samhället för den här gruppen och deras anhöriga. Många Our research focuses on individuals with severe and long-lasting mental illness and their situation in society. The extensive restructuring of the mental health and support systems towards community-based service systems brings forth far-reaching requirements for developing new knowledge-based health and support interventions. Such efforts are needed to favour and support health and a meaningful l
A year after the establishment of the protest camp Palestinagård at Lund’s University in May 2024 and its demolishment by the authorities, the student solidarity movement is continuously engaged in endeavours to get into conversations with the institutions at Lunds University to make their demands heard, as the genocide on the Palestinian population in Gaza is still ongoing. Further, Palestinagård
Enheten för kognitiv sjukdomsforskning är en translationell forskargrupp med fokus på neurodegenerativa och neuropsykiatriska sjukdomar såsom Alzheimers sjukdom, demens med Lewy-kroppar, Parkinsons sjukdom, frontallobsdemens och depression. Vår forskning är patientnära, vilket möjliggörs då gruppen består av neurobiologer, läkare, statistiker, farmaceuter, sjuksköterskor, fysio- och arbetsterapeutCognitive disorder research unit is a translational research group focusing on neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinsons disease, Frontal lobe dementia and Major depression. Our approach is strongly patient-oriented, which is strengthen by our wide variety of professional backgrounds including neurobiologists, physicians, st
Genom att kombinera kunskapen från kliniskt aktiva läkare och forskare tror vi att vi snabbt och effektivt kan få kunskap om de spektrala egenskaperna hos hudcancer och jättecellartrit och översätta detta till avbildningsverktyg för detektion av tumörgränser och diagnostik. Genom att mäta blodflöde under och efter periorbital rekonstruktiv kirurgi strävar vi efter att uppdatera kirurgiska teknikerBy combining the knowledge of clinically active medical doctors and researchers we believe that we can rapidly and effectively gain knowledge on the spectral properties of skin cancer and giant cell arthritis and translate this into imaging tools for tumor border outlining and diagnosis. Through monitoring of blood flow perfusion during and following periorbital reconstructive surgery we aim to up
Regeringen beslutade 2009 om en satsning på strategiska forskningsområden, som ett led i att skapa världsledande forskning, på rekommendation av Vetenskapsrådet, Fas, Formas, Vinnova och Energimyndigheten.
Lunds universitet har 11 strategiska forskningsområden, vars verksamhet spänner över i princip alla fakulteter och ofta är tvärvetenskaplig, för vilka LU årligen erhåller ca 190 MSEK i In 2009, the government decided to invest in strategic research areas, as part of creating world-leading research, on the recommendation of the Swedish Research Council, Fas, Formas, Vinnova and the Swedish Energy Agency..
Lund University has 11 strategic research areas, the activities of which span virtually all faculties and are often interdisciplinary, for which LU annually receives ab
Previous research shows that there exists a procyclicality premium in some large economies like the U.S. However, this study investigates if a procyclicality premium is present in a small open economy like Sweden as well as in some developed countries around the world due to the size of the Swedish economy. The study investigates the monthly excess return of a portfolio based on Sweden and on a po
Exercise is considered to be a "medicine" due to its modulatory roles in metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. The intensity and duration of exercise determine the mechanism of energy production by various tissues of the body, especially by muscles, in which the requirement for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) increases by as much as 100-fold. Naturally, athletes try to improve their exerc
Translationell cancerforskning bildades 2013 som en del av Lunds universitets cancercenter (LUCC) på Medicon Village. TCR består av nio grupper som arbetar med olika frågeställningar och tumörtyper, men med ett gemensamt mål att utveckla nya behandlingsmetoder. Frågeställningarna bearbetas multidisciplinärt med hjälp av cellbiologi, bioinformatik, musmodeller, humana vävnadsarrayer och avancerade The Division of Translational Cancer Research (TCR) was founded 2013 in conjunction with the formation of Lund University Cancer Center (LUCC) at Medicon Village. TCR consists of nine research groups with different areas of expertise, but together working on projects with the common goal of improving cancer diagnostics and cancer therapy. Our multidisciplinary experimental settings include human g
The purpose of the unit is to coordinate and develop support and training for learning environments, both digital and campus-based, at Lund University. The Unit for Educational Services has two websites: Transforming education in a digital world – www.education.lu.se/en (for staff) Your digital study environment – www.campusonline.lu.se/en (for students) The unit also sends out a digital
Artificial Intelligence in Cardiothoracic Science was funded 2006. Traditionally, medical decisions are based on the combined strength of clinical facts and the experience of the clinician. A growing understanding of the molecular, genetic and biochemical basis of diseases have greatly increased the degree of complexity in medical decision-making. To identify risk factors in medical registers, a n
Our point of departure has been that, by using the language of solidarity, we - consciously or not - participate in the politics of it. The group of authors coming together in this volume contribute analyses of solidarity as a norm, a process, a practice, or a vocabulary creating polyperspectivity. In so doing, we let the course of our analysis be directed by the actors we investigate over a span
Geobotanical subdivision of landcover is a baseline for many studies. The High–Low Arctic boundary is considered to be of fundamental natural importance. The wide application of different delimitation schemes in various ecological studies and climatic scenarios raises the following questions: (i) What are the common criteria to define the High and Low Arctic? (ii) Could human impact significantly
