On Wednesday 27 May, the Faculty of Science officially inaugurated its new Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo) with music, panel discussions, seminars and an exhibition on minerals important for the green transition. Almost five months after the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC), the Department of Geology and the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Sci
In Sweden, more resources have been allocated to expanding outpatient psychiatric care while the number of inpatient beds is steadily declining. A study by Lund University shows a statistical link between fewer psychiatric beds and higher suicide rates. The study was published in The Lancet Regional Health –Europe. Demand for psychiatric care is rising, and in 2024 the National Board of Health and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Could a capsule of insulin crystals a day stop the development of type 1 diabetes? There are indications that this could be the case. In the international TrialNet study, which follows relatives of individuals with type 1 diabetes, researchers are investigating whether oral insulin could prevent or delay the disease.

Should patients with separate variants of type 2 diabetes be treated with different types of drugs? Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital will attempt to answer that question in a new study. Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world. It is estimated that over 300 million people have the disease globally. “Current treatment methods are un

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Colonisation of remote islands has contributed to irreversible changes in their ecosystems. This finding emerges from an international study to which researchers from Lund University contributed. The analysis of 5000-year-old pollen enabled the research team to reveal the islands’ vulnerability. In the new study, publ

Solitary bees that ingested the pesticide clothianidin when foraging from rapeseed flowers became slower. In addition, the strawberries pollinated by these bees were smaller. This is shown by a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Strawberries are known to become bigger if bees have visited their flowers, but how strawberry growth is affected if the bees have been exposed to neonicotinoid ins

The risk of neurodegenerative diseases increases markedly after a traumatic brain injury – particularly following repeated concussions. Professors Niklas Marklund and Tadeusz Wieloch have now received SEK 3.4 million from The ALBORADA Trust for their research into preventing dementia after brain injury. Brain injury is a major but often underestimated public health problem that particularly affect

A research study at Lund University shows that there is an association between selenium deficiency and an increased risk of developing heart failure. The risk is twice as high for individuals with low selenium levels. Heart failure is a common condition affecting 250 000 Swedes. In heart failure, the heart cannot pump enough blood into the body, and the disease is associated with a poor prognosis.

Seeds and fat balls do more than just fill small birds’ stomachs. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that feeding during the wintertime causes birds to be healthier, since they do not have to expend as much energy fighting infections. A small change in body temperature can be fatal for humans. Small birds, meanwhile, lower their body temperature at night by several degrees during th
