What happened to the generation that experienced the Jasmin revolution in Tunisia as young? How are their views different from those who were only small children and do not remember the expectations of more freedom and bread? Studies in focus groups representing both Generation Z and Millennials in the region give unexpected answers but still hold some optimism for further democratisation. Sarah A

Sometimes healthcare professionals treat patients with opioids such as morphine to relieve symptoms, but there has been a lack of evidence as to whether this helps with severe chronic breathlessness. A randomised Phase 3 study conducted by Swedish and Australian researchers now finds that morphine does not reduce worst breathlessness. The study is published in JAMA. Long term shortness of breath i

How do we create a safe environment in which humans and robots can collaborate on handling hazardous materials? What do those working in the industry need to know about sustainable production processes, re-use and critical raw materials? Companies need to up-skill their employees to have competences for the fourth industrial revolution, industry 4.0, with new technologies mainly in automation, the

With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light. For example, one application could be converting carbon dioxide into fuel. The sunlight that hits Earth for one hour is almost equiva

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

Just over two weeks after the UN climate summit in Egypt, the leaders of the world’s countries are meeting again, this time to address another acute crisis facing humanity – the loss of biodiversity. The issue is less well-known than the climate crisis and no framework corresponding to the Paris agreement is in place – something that many people hope the December summit in Montreal will rectify.

Two world-leading American researchers known respectively for their research within medical humanities, and the sensory nervous system and perception of pain and temperature have been named honorary doctors at the Faculty of Medicine. The honorary doctorates will be conferred on 26 May 2023. Ever since David Julius’ discovery of the temperature and pain receptor TRPV1, he has contributed crucial d

In political debate, the notion of climate transition is often presented as a road lined with sacrifices. Many researchers, however, paint a picture of a day-to-day life that could be better than today’s. What is experienced as good or bad varies from one person to the next, and may vary over time.  “Whether something is getting better or worse is, of course, a subjective judgement. Norms change o

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered an antibody with the potential to protect against Strep A infection, as well as a rare form of antibody binding, that leads to an effective immune response against bacteria. The discovery could explain why so many Group A strep vaccines have failed. The results are published in EMBO Molecular medicine. Group A streptococci have several ways

Southern Scandinavia and Northern Germany form a leading life science region with unique research infrastructures that can help transform research into innovation. There is especially a large unused potential for industrial and clinical researchers to use these unique facilities. The HALRIC consortium led by Lund University has now received EU funding to build collaborations between companies, hos

At the end of October 2022, the Swedish Medical Products Agency gave the go-ahead for a clinical trial of the stem cell-based therapy STEM-PD for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The cells, generated from embryonic stem cells, have been in development for several years and will now be transplanted into patients with Parkinson’s to replace nerve cells lost due to the disease. The clinical tria

Många stadskärnor plågas idag av butiksdöden. Politiker, butiksägare och stadsplanerare frågar sig hur man håller en affärsgata levande. Den 24 juni lägger Devrim Umut Aslan fram en avhandling om hemligheten bakom en vibrerande shoppinggata. Devrim Umit Aslan har gjort en studie av Södergatan i Helsingborg, en lokal shoppinggata i den multikulturella södra halvan av staden.   – Det talades ofta om

Cirkulär ekonomi har under senare år blivit en ledstjärna inom industri- och miljöpolitik. Men hur bra är det egentligen? Definitionen av en cirkulär ekonomi är oklar och saknar substans, menar en grupp forskare från Lunds universitet och KTH. Det riskerar bli en skenlösning om vi inte slutar tala om det som en universallösning på allehanda miljöproblem. Cirkulär ekonomi har blivit en känd och erk
