In 2022, Sweden became the first country in the world to allow body checking in women's ice hockey. Major hockey nations are now following Lund University's research on the consequences of tougher plays on the ice. A first study shows that almost nine out of ten players in the Swedish women's hockey league are in favour of body checking – regardless of their own size. “We found that interesting. T

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Last month, Ella Quist defended her Ph.D. thesis. After beginning her research journey as a master’s student within our Ph.D. Preparatory Program, she dedicated the last several years to developing more efficient methods that can be used to generate functional and mature astrocytes for disease modeling of neurological disorders. In this interview, we learn more about her efforts to facilitate futu

At the end of March, the first cases of acute severe hepatitis of unknown origin in children were reported in the UK. Since then, the number has increased to more than 300 in around 20 countries; there are now reports of nine suspected cases in Sweden. The acute liver infection mainly affects otherwise completely healthy children under the age of 16, which puzzles researchers who are now searching

The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration research group is made up of about 15 researchers focusing on chronic lung disease. The group’s work includes the development of different methods to study disease models for conditions such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. One of the researchers, John Stegmayr, has been awarded SEK 700,000 from the Carl Tesdorpf Foundation to expand research into idiopathic

A three-kilometre-long cylinder of ice sheds light on what the climate was like one hundred thousand years ago. The ice contains traces of periods of higher or lower temperatures on Earth, but also of whether there were violent volcanic eruptions and high solar activity. By understanding the climate of the past, researchers can develop better models to predict the climate of the future. There are

Three Lund University research projects have been selected for the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) 2026 list, which highlights Swedish research with the potential to benefit society. Previously known colloquially in Sweden as the "100 list" and published annually between 2019 and 2024, IVA's list returns in 2026 in a renewed and more selective form, highlighting around 30 ongoi
Fördjupade relationer med redan goda kollegor samtidigt som andra valdes bort. Under pandemin minskade spontana möten och vi slöt oss i sociala filterbubblor, men vem som borde tagit ansvar för de sociala relationerna är oklart. Det visar en studie som undersökt hur vi skötte våra relationer på jobbet under covid-19. Under pandemins hemarbete reducerades många kollegor till små digitala ansikten –

De senaste åren har de digitala vårdalternativen för patienter med knä- och höftartros ökat kraftigt – inte minst på grund av pandemin. Men hittills har det inte gjorts några studier som har jämfört effekten av de digitala vårdinsatserna med de traditionellt fysiska. I en studie som publiceras i tidskriften JAMA Network Open, har forskare jämfört de två artrosskolorna. Cirka var fjärde person över

Plaståtervinning och avfallshantering i all ära, men vad blir den egentliga miljövinsten om plastproduktionen fördubblas inom den närmaste 20-årsperioden? Den frågan ställer sig forskare som menar att mer fokus måste läggas på hur plasten produceras. En ny forskningsstudie visar att det inte finns något politiskt intresse för de initiala stegen plastens livscykel; det vill säga vilka råvaror använ
