Geologists at Lund University in Sweden have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available. Fish lizards, or ichthyosaurs, were a very successful group of animals that, much like today's whales, migrated f

A new project is reviewing university-wide information about student support, with plain language as the guiding principle. The aim is to user-test the resources, tailor to the audience, and provide staff training. Using plain language is not only a legal requirement but also builds trust in the university and improves the students' working environment. Photo: Jason Leung from Unsplash.com.At Lund

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

Clay is a material that has been used since ancient times for protecting, building and carrying things. If we learn more about how to change various properties of clays, such as through the addition of certain molecules or salts, we can use them for new and sustainable products in the fields of medicine, architecture and building materials. The strategic research area eSSENCE supports a new collab

Urbanisation and a warmer climate means that more people want to swim in canals, harbours, and urban beaches. However, this means that they may swimming close to where treated wastewater and stormwater are discharged – including bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that might make people sick. A new method tested in Sweden by Lund University, can provide both faster and more complete answers on

Is it possible to convert a patient’s own skin cells into functioning nerve cells? Or insert healthy genes to reprogram the cells of a damaged brain? Stem cell researcher Malin Parmar at Lund University in Sweden is studying these types of issues, in close collaboration with clinical researchers. She is now awarded a prize of SEK 100 000 from the Eric K. Fernström Foundation for her work. Every ye

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

Christmas music is more than background noise to the hustle and bustle. From Mariah Carey’s Christmas cracker ‘All I Want For Christmas’ to Wham’s lost love in ‘Last Christmas’, each song tells its own story of why it belongs to the festive season. “The power of Christmas music lies in its ability to put us in touch with our emotions, from celebration to reflection. Although we may not feel that w
