Using surface water to heat and cool buildings can make Europe’s heating systems more sustainable and reduce dependence on imported natural gas. But efforts are needed to make the technology more large-scale, according to researchers Sara Brogaard and Barry Ness from LUCSUS. Today, natural gas is the main source of heating in central Europe, which causes large carbon dioxide emissions. In Sweden,

Hur digitaliserad är svenska företags marknadsföring? Och till vilket pris? Det ska ett nytt forskningsprojekt från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet ta reda på. Du som själv har inblick i ditt företags digitala marknadsföring bjuds även in att delta i undersökningen. I dag dominerar digital reklam över mer konventionell reklam i svensk radio, tv, tidningar och på skyltar. Men digitaliseringe

Enormous amounts of data about Alzheimer’s Disease have been generated from clinical studies so far. Still, the molecular drivers of Alzheimer’s Disease are largely unknown. With the TAU-TIME project, Jacob Vogel aims to advance knowledge by developing an AI tool that brings together known biological mechanisms with data from patients with the disease. Recent funding from the European Research Cou

Researchers at Lund University and Washington University have identified a blood marker that reflects the amount of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain. This discovery may play a key role in determining who is most likely to benefit from the new Alzheimer’s drugs. In brief:A newly discovered blood marker, MTBR-tau243, can reveal how much Alzheimer’s disease pathology is present in the brain. The hi

The headlines about non-functioning security alarms, about cameras and soon also AI in the home service, are getting more and more. But what happens when the welfare technology does not work? Next year, a new research project will be launched which will investigate this very thing.

Lymfödem efter huvud- och halscancer, är betydligt vanligare än man tidigare antagit och kan kvarstå länge efter avslutad cancerbehandling. Forskare vid Lunds universitet, har upptäckt att patienter med lägre fysisk aktivitet löper en högre risk att utveckla lymfödem. De har även sett att en lymfscanner objektivt mäter förändringar i tillståndet - en metod som nu har börjat användas i Södra sjukvå

En katalysator som kommer att modernisera naturvetenskapliga fakulteten, både i Brunnshög och på Sölvegatan. Dekan Sven Lidin må ha blivit ”närsynt, lönnfet och medelålders” under sina tio år i symbios med Science Village. Men hans framtidsvisioner är vitalare än någonsin. Det är en sådan där blek septemberförmiddag då de digitala mötena avlöser varandra. Men några minuter över 11 kommer naturvete

20 år av mätningar är bara början. Långtidsmätningar som sträcker sig över flera årtionden är helt avgörande för att kunna förutse hur luftburna partiklar påverkar framtidens klimat menar lundaforskaren Erik Ahlberg. – Långtidsmätningar är viktiga för att få ett kvitto på att olika insatser för klimatet faktiskt fungerar.

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund
