Recent studies indicate that acquired brain injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, trigger potentially harmful responses that may lead to neurodegenerative pathology. “Acquired brain injuries and their links to neurodegeneration diseases” is a new special interest group (SIG) collaborating across research groups to elucidate molecular processes that may mediate the relation between acquired bra

A research study at Lund University shows that there is an association between selenium deficiency and an increased risk of developing heart failure. The risk is twice as high for individuals with low selenium levels. Heart failure is a common condition affecting 250 000 Swedes. In heart failure, the heart cannot pump enough blood into the body, and the disease is associated with a poor prognosis.

The current recession is affecting everyone, and the University and central administration are no exceptions. We, like many other organisations, are affected by cutbacks and a tough economic climate. The entire university sector is being asked to make savings of 0.5%. This is coming as inflation is high and many things have become more expensive: rents, equipment, licences, etc. Like other LU orga

Some fungi are wasteful, while others recycle – and this can determine how much carbon is stored in a forest. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed how fungi manage their mycelium, the network that builds the structure of fungus. The results could provide new insights into the carbon cycle and climate. Researchers have investigated how fungi recycle their mycelium when they grow. Using

​​​​​​​How do people in Sweden perceive their wellbeing, agency and future in a changing climate? A recent study found that climate actions are perceived as leading to improved (rather than reduced) wellbeing. At the same time, climate anxiety and frustration about structural and governance issues limit agency. Still, people seem optimistic about what a sustainable future might bring. The study ta

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There has been a fear that the swine flu vaccine, Pandemrix, would increase the risk of autoimmune diseases other than narcolepsy. However, a new study of children from Sweden and Finland shows that the vaccine increased neither the risk of developing autoantibodies against insulin-producing beta cells nor the occurre

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. An international study led from Lund University in Sweden shows that 30 per cent of the energy in a certain type of light-absorbing iron molecule disappears in a previously unknown manner. By closing this loophole, the researchers hope to contribute to the development of more efficient solar cells using this iron-base

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In an advanced experiment, researchers have established that nanoparticles made of metal and semiconductors have properties never previously observed. Among other things, the particles are extremely good at amplifying incident laser light. The new discovery could become very important for the development of optical co

Immune Thrombocytopenia, ITP, is an autoimmune bleeding disorder that is still treated with immunosuppressive drugs that cause serious side effects. Professor John Semple’s laboratory studies the pathophysiological mechanisms behind this disease and together with Dr. Drew Provan, London, UK, has recently published the newest ideas on pathological mechanisms and therapies for the treatment and mana

Locked fingers, known as trigger finger, are more common among people with diabetes than in the general population. A study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that the risk of being affected increases in the case of high blood sugar. The study has been published in Diabetes Care. Trigger finger means that one or more fingers, often the ring finger or thumb, ends up in a bent position that is d

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicio
