From the Vice-chancellor blog: Free and creative thoughts that can be turned into words or other expressions are the basis of a democratic society. Free and creative thoughts are also the preconditions for renewal. These are my words from a previous blog and after last week’s dark events, when Russia invaded Ukraine, it has become even more important to stress this. We now have an ongoing war in E

The fact that diabetes rases the risk of certain types of cancer is already well known, but the reasons have been unclear. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped a molecular link that explains the connection between the two widespread diseases. Developing type 2 diabetes is a lengthy process. An earl

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new mouse model that answers the question of what actually happens in the body when type 2 diabetes develops and how the body responds to drug treatment. Long-term studies of the middle-aged mouse model will be better than previous studies at confirming how dru

Japanska vaktlar som utsätts för värmeböljor som kycklingar är bättre rustade att hantera extremvärme när de blivit vuxna än vaktlar som växer upp i kyla. Men det finns ett tak för hur värmetoleranta de små hönsfåglarna kan bli. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. I takt med att klimatet blir varmare och mer oförutsägbart måste fåglar och andra varmblodiga djur anpassa sig. Det sker exe

Törnskator flyger tusentals kilometer till Afrika – och gör det med förbluffande precision. Med hjälp av ny teknik har forskare i Lund lyckats följa fåglarnas resor i detalj. Det visar sig att de kan ha ett mer komplext, genetiskt flyttprogram än forskarna tidigare kunnat visa. – Vi kan nu i realtid följa var fågeln är under året, hur den har kommit dit och exakt hur lång tid det tog. Varje fågel
