About 540 million years ago, our planet suddenly erupted with life, filling our oceans with a diversity of complex life. This is known as the Cambrian explosion, and for a long time scientists agreed it was triggered by a rise in oxygen levels in the atmosphere. But new research from Emma Hammarlund at Lund University is turning the tables completely on what scientists thought they knew to be true

Visible matter in the universe represents only five per cent of everything that exists. The rest is invisible dark matter and dark energy. Particle physicist Ruth Pöttgen is one of the Lund University researchers involved in the search for the mysterious dark matter of the universe. She is standing at her whiteboard in a small office at Fysicum. With the help of her pen, Ruth Pöttgen tries to pain

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

In competition with about ten other European consortia, Lund University and collaborators have received a research grant of approximately 150 million SEK. The money, which is given by the European Union, will be complemented by funding from the pharmaceutical industry. The funding will be used to advance in the battle against complications caused by diabetic diseases. In addition to Lund Universit

“Researchers and students are mobile in a completely different way from previously, but the regulations haven’t kept up. The EU needs to act to remove the most serious types of obstacle, for example between Sweden and Denmark, and urgently”, says Lund University’s HR director Ingrid Estrada-Magnusson.

Today, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is the leading cause of death following a blood transfusion. So far, it has not been treatable, but a researcher at Lund University in Sweden, Rick Kapur, has now discovered that an anti-inflammatory drug cures the disease in mice. For his achievement, he is awarded the International Society of Blood Transfusion’s prestigious award. TRALI is a r

Researchers led by Lund University in Sweden have assisted microbiologists in Ukraine in investigating bacterial resistance among the war-wounded patients treated in hospitals. The results, which were recently published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, reveal that many of the patients were affected by bacteria that exhibited an extremely high level of antibiotic resistance. “I am quite thick-ski

Care and circular consumption, can they go hand in hand? For some, it’s what drives their consumption of items and clothes. Réka Tölg, a doctoral student at the Department of Service Studies, has recently published two papers on the topic of clothing consumption, circularity and care, one by herself and one with fellow Service Studies colleague Professor Christian Fuentes. These papers focus on ho

A multidisciplinary research team at Lund University has innovatively tackled what has long been a major problem in stem cell research. The project has now been awarded a Proof of Concept grant from the European Research Council, ERC.

Principal Investigator Christopher Douse and the Epigenetics and Chromatin Dynamics research group join Lund Stem Cell Center, where they will explore the control and influence of ‘genomic dark matter’ in human brain development. Motivated by fundamental questions about mechanisms underpinning human disease, Christopher Douse’s research interests have gradually shifted from the natural sciences to

Up to now, researchers have believed that birds stay at home and altruistically help raise younger siblings because this is the only way to pass on genes when you cannot breed yourself. But this idea is only partially true. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds benefit from being helpful because it also increases their chances of reproducing in the future. “The results show t

Long life is common among bird parents that get help with childcare. This finding comes from researchers at the universities of Lund and Oxford who reviewed data from more than 9,000 studies. Being a parent can be tough. In general, animals that care for many offspring die young, at least in species where parents are not helped by others. However, in some species things are different and parents r

Science should be able to be reproduced, but in reality this is a step that is often overlooked. Researcher Burak Tunca at the School of Economics and Management sees several possible measures that could make research better – and more open. “Researchers should always pre-register their studies and be open with their data. That way we can avoid bias and hypotheses being changed during the course o

När diagnosen typ 2 diabetes ställs har sjukdomsprocessen i regel pågått i flera år och diabetiska skador på exempelvis blodkärl och ögon redan ett faktum. Ett prov som tidigt visar vem som är i riskzonen är värdefullt, då skulle förebyggande behandling kunna starta i tid. Nu har forskare hittat en lovande kandidat till ett sådant prov.
