Earlier this month, Simon Hultmark defended his Ph.D. thesis. In pursuit of his long-standing fascination for stem cells, his research over the last several years has focused on blood stem cells and cancer. All in an effort to contribute to the development of improved clinical therapies for patients with a type of blood cancer known as acute myeloid leukemia. In this interview, he tells us about h
On 24-25 November, the BECC Annual Meeting 2014 was held in Halmstad. The meeting focused on the future possibilities of research within BECC and what is to come. For those of you who could not join the meeting - and those of you who would like to see a particularly interesting presentation again - we have collected the presentations from the meeting here. The fifth annual meeting for BECC was hel

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In 2016, a forgotten archival treasure was found in the cellar of the Department of Geology. The material included a unique map of Iceland from 1844 and a geological map of the whole of New Zealand dated 1869. Now 322 works have been restored and plans are afoot for an exhibition.

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

A machine allowing researchers to rely on objective, automatized readouts instead of subjective manual counting under the microscope. Incredible pictures. And the possibility to follow live cellular events. The Operetta is the answer to these demands. The interest in using the new MultiPark infrastructure is big. In March, MultiPark received the new Operetta CLS instrument, upgrading the former Ce

Toxins and chemicals are a major threat to our environment. The "third crisis" - the chemical crisis - is often forgotten when we talk about the climate and endangered species. Ahead of Biodiversity Day on 22 May, Maria Hansson, a researcher at Lund University, offers tips on how to create a non-toxic environment in your own garden, benefiting all its inhabitants, big and small.

By describing his research as a battle between good and evil and likening himself to a hacker who attacks cancer cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in this year's Research Grand Prix. It is a competition in presentation technique for researchers, and it was held in front of an audience of almost 400 students at Helsingborg's Stadsteater on 1 October. His presentat

Hösten 1968 kom det första numret av LUM ut. Från att ha varit ett rent informationsblad utvecklades LUM under 70-talet till en journalistisk tidning som var tidigt ute med att anställa vetenskapsjournalister. I takt med att internet vann mark glesades utgivningen ut, fast LUM har enligt läsarundersökningar ändå haft sin relevans. Men nu läggs tidningen ner och vi ser tillbaka på åren som gått. De

What makes a university a university? The simple answer would be that the institution hosts teaching and research. Yet a university is so much more than that; it might be easiest to capture the essence of the universe that is a university by summarising the year that has just ended. It is a razor sharp, teeming, testing, reflective universe that pushes boundaries in disruptive, eloquent and powerf
