This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a uniquely detailed global climate model that will increase our understanding of climate change. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, at this level of detail, are included in climate modeling within EC-Earth, a global climate and earth system mo

Research is like solving a puzzle, some might say. One of the biggest of these is the body’s proteins – with over 90,000 pieces to keep track of. LUM meets three professors of protein to understand what makes the subject so fascinating and how they are working to understand when proteins go wrong in the body. If a research field were to be evaluated based on the number of Nobel Prizes it has been

This year's prestigious Segerfalk lecture will be given by Eero Castrén, Research Director at the Neuroscience Centre at the University of Helsinki. In his research on brain plasticity, he has discovered clues about which mechanisms in the brain are affected by antidepressants – and they could explain why these medicines work. Eero Castrén conducts research on brain plasticity and is primarily int

Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) campus. Architect Klas Anshelm’s red brick buildings ha

During his more than 50-year career, diabetes researcher Åke Lernmark has made several significant discoveries that have increased knowledge about type 1 diabetes. His research contributes to creating conditions for a national screening programme in Sweden. In Sweden, around 1,000 children and an equal number of adults develop type 1 diabetes each year. The disease has major consequences for the f

In a recent study from the SCC group of Niels-Bjarne Woods and collaborators, they have investigated the metabolic changes accompanying the emergence of blood during embryonic development. They discovered a previously unknown metabolic switch during endothelial to hematopoietic transition (EHT), the process by which the first blood cells are formed. This switch showed to be crucial in the determin
