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

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. Jonas Larsson, Professor of Molecular Medicine, and his research colleague Ludwig Schmiderer, together with Martin Hjort, a researcher at NanoLund, have developed th

The MAX IV facility, set to become the brightest x-ray source in the world in 2016, has now been handed over to Lund University by the building contractor. Covering 50 000 square metres, the facility consists of a linear accelerator, storage rings, an office building and outdoor environments. It will now become the workplace for MAX IV’s 240 members of staff; in future the facility will be able to

Our DNA is very similar to that of the chimpanzee, which in evolutionary terms is our closest living relative. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now found a previously overlooked part of our DNA, so-called non-coded DNA, that appears to contribute to a difference which, despite all our similarities, may explain why our brains work differently. The study is published in the jo

Sweden’s industry uses about one third of the country’s entire energy consumption. How can industry convert to a better considered and sustainable circular economy? Researchers at Lund University are working closely with companies to find smarter solutions that focus on improving sustainability in materials recycling. We would like to have an electric car, solar cells on our roof or the latest mod

What happens when we get out of the driver's seat and our vehicles become autonomous? Mathematician Viktor Larsson is developing methods to enable cars and drones to see their surroundings. This is his insight into the self-driving present and future. Cameras, satnav, laser, radar and sensors. To earn the prefix ‘self-driving’, or ‘autonomous’, vehicles need a range of technologies capable of both

Vi vet att dagens konventionella jordbruk har stor negativ påverkan på vår miljö. Jordbruket står för en tredjedel av utsläppen av växthusgaser och släpper ut stora halter av giftiga ämnen som påverkar hav och mark. Odlingen av ettåriga grödor som vete, ris och sojabönor är särskilt problematisk.Forskare är eniga om att jordbruket måste ställas om för att klara utmaningarna med ett förändrat klima

Flera gener som ökar risken för övervikt och fetma är redan kända men nu rapporterar en holländsk forskargrupp att de funnit en smal-gen, en genetisk variant som minskar risken. Ämnet reservatol, som finns bland annat i rött vin, aktiverar smal-genen, åtminstone hos möss. Att genen SIRT1 tilldrar sig allt större intresse från forskarna har flera orsaker. Den har bevarats under miljoner år och finn

Ett ”bokmärke” – i form av specifika proteiner – i cellens DNA, innebär att celler minns sin identitet efter celldelning. Mekanismen har tidigare visats i odlade celler. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu för första gången visat den avgörande betydelsen av denna mekanism i levande möss. Upptäckten, som publiceras i Nature Communications, är viktig för att förstå och påverka blodbildningsprocess

Den insulinbildande betacellen är starkt beroende av kolesterol för att fungera normalt. Endast en blygsam sänkning av mängden kolesterol i cellens vägg halverar kapaciteten för insulinfrisättning, visar forskare vid LUDC. Detta är ett betydelsefullt fynd eftersom i stort sett alla diabetiker, oavsett kolesterolnivå, behandlas med läkemedel som sänker kolesterolhalten. Anledningen till att diabeti

TXNIP-genen dirigerar den onda cirkel som hos många leder till typ 2 diabetes. Kartläggningen av TXNIP verkan kan på sikt öppna vägen för ett läkemedel som förmår bryta cirkeln. Typ 2 diabetes föregås av en långsamt men fortlöpande försämrad blodsockerkontroll. Nu har forskare vid LUDC upptäckt en gen, TXNIP, som försämrar upptaget av socker i kroppens celler och ökar blodsockerhalten. Detta ställ

The artist performs, the audience listens and applaud to show their appreciation. These are the given roles during a concert. But what happens if we dissolve these roles and the audience acts in a way that is completely unexpected. Does this change the song? The sound? The communication? This is what an interdisciplinary group at the Pufendorf Institute has studied during the spring. The six singe

As 2025 gets under way, the University, and I dare say the whole higher education sector, has got off to a flying start. The reason for this flying start is, of course, the Research and Innovation Bill that was presented just before Christmas and has since been analysed from all angles. The analysis will continue, as the parts that are still unclear take shape in the Spring Budget or in new direct
