New ideas are snapped up from the catwalk, interpreted and made into trendy clothes with a low price-tag, available in shops and online. Economists attribute the success of fast fashion to innovative large companies, b

On 13th of February, a transplant of stem cell-derived nerve cells was administered to a person with Parkinson’s at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden. The product has been developed by Lund University and it is now being tested in patients for the first time. The transplantation product is generated from embryonic stem cells and functions to replace the dopamine nerve cells which are lost in the p

Offshore wind power is presented as one of the solutions to solve the energy crisis in southern Sweden. But the issue has been met with a "not in my backyard” attitude, as many municipalities say no to the government's decision. LUCSUS researcher Henner Busch, shares his thoughts on how to involve local communities and create a more just energy transition. Earlier this autumn, the Swedish governme

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

After a stroke, there is inflammation in the damaged part of the brain. Until now, the inflammation has been seen as a negative consequence that needs to be abolished as soon as possible. But, as it turns out, there are also some positive sides to the inflammation, and it can actually help the brain to self-repair. “This is in total contrast to our previous beliefs”, says Professor Zaal Kokaia fro

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For nearly nine years, researchers at Lund University have been working on developing implantable electrodes that can capture signals from single neurons in the brain over a long period of time - without causing brain tissue damage. They are now one big step closer to reaching this goal, and the results are published

Electrotherapy using injectable nanoparticles delivered directly into the tumour could pave the way for new treatment options for glioblastoma, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive form of brain tumour among adults. Even with intensive treatment, the average survival period is 15 months. The tumour has a high genetic variation

Large ships often run on heavy fuel oil, something that leads to pollution and considerable emissions. However, one promising alternative is building or converting engines to run on methanol instead. The Fastwater project led by Lund University in Sweden has received EUR 5 million from the EU to develop the new technology. In 2022, a pilot boat is expected to be launched. The Paris Agreement and a

A new international commission will pave the way for a global boost in maternal and newborn health. The project is led by a researcher at Lund University in Sweden, whose motivation stems from a formative experience witnessing a woman bleed to death unnecessarily during childbirth. “The time has come to put maternal and newborn health back at the heart of the global health agenda,” says Mehreen Za

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

Climate change creates more shrub vegetation in barren, arctic ecosystems. A study at Lund University in Sweden shows that organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, are triggered to break down particularly nutritious dead parts of shrubbery. Meanwhile, the total amount of decomposition is reducing. This could have an inhibiting effect on global warming. Johannes Rousk, BECC researcher, is one of the
