På bara en dryg vecka har en ny studie om hur Pfizer BioNTechs covid-19-vaccin (BNT162b2) påverkar humana leverceller i odlingsskål väckt stort intresse. Studien har hittills fått nästan 800 000 läsningar och resultaten sprids i sociala medier, där den i flera fall även misstolkas. Men vilka resultat handlar det om, och hur ska de förstås? Två av forskarna bakom studien, professorerna Yang de Mari

Modern imaging techniques allows researchers to map the structure of the smallest components of cells, such as proteins. By understanding what proteins look like and how they interact with their surroundings, researchers can find keys to more effective drug therapies. In a study led from Lund University, researchers have mapped the structure of a channel in the cell membrane that regulates the tra

A study at Lund University reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta — a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest that vascular dysfunction could be an early driver in neurodegenerative disorders rather than being caused by neuronal damage. The study is published in Acta Neuropathologica. An increased risk o

Contrary to popular belief, Swedish women who have joined IS were not simply passively manipulated by men. A new study from Lund University suggests that it was a strict religious culture, which opposes gender equality, and modern gender roles and norms, that attracted Swedish women to join the Islamic State. On the internet, Swedish IS women propagate Sharia law, gender segregation and a patriarc

Åsa Hansson, Associate Professor of Economics at LUSEM, has been appointed by the Swedish government to lead a new investigation about Sweden’s declining birth rate. Birth rates in Sweden have been falling. According to Statistics Sweden (SCB), 98,451 children were born in 2024 — 1,600 fewer than in 2023. This trend is seen across all societal groups and regions. Research shows that one in four yo
