The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseases and conditions such as poor dental health, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascul

Despite a widespread and outdated view of older people, and an abundance of stereotypes, awareness of what is known as ageism is limited. A new short guide gives tips for how you can use your communication to counter discrimination against older people. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) have been highlighting ageism for almost 20 years. Put simply, ageism can be descr

An extraordinary event has taken place this summer in a small, overlooked village north of Uppsala, blending the rich history of Swedish religious movements with cutting-edge quantum research. The village of Mehedeby, home to fewer than 600 residents, recently hosted a remarkable science conference titled "Quantum Redemption" in its 125-year-old Free Church. The conference, organized by Lund Unive

Det finns en mängd faktorer som ökar risken att drabbas av åderförkalkning och därmed också hjärtinfarkt och stroke. En del kan man själv påverka och behandla - exempelvis höga blodfetter, högt blodtryck eller rökning – medan andra är förutbestämda – som ålder och kön. Till den senare kategorin hör också ärftlighet. Här skriver Viktor Hamrefors om sitt avhandlingsarbete. Hjärtkärlsjukdom är den va

CenCIP-forskare presenterar en artikel vid konferensen ESREL2018 i juni i Trondheim, Norge. I artikeln jämför vi några av Sveriges kritiska infrastrukturers resiliens utifrån avbrottsdata och drar slutsatsen att relativt stora skillnader existerar. Ett vidare arbete blir att undersöka orsakerna till dessa skillnader, beror de på skillnader i regleringar, riskkultur eller helt enkelt hur utsatta sy

Djupintervjuer med Parkinsonpatienter som befinner sig i ett tidigt stadie av sjukdomen visar att acceptans skapar förutsättningar för en bibehållen livstillfredsställelse trots sjukdomen. Studien genomfördes av hälsovetenskapliga forskare från det strategiska forskningsområdet MultiPark vid Lunds universitet. Personer som lever med Parkinsons sjukdom får till följd av sjukdomens progress en varie

Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research. Since its establishment as a strategic research centre, the Lund Stem Cell Center has become one of the strongest

In order to drive a car, you need a good balance between accelerator and brake. The same applies to a part of the brain – the striatum - that controls our movements. Research at Lund University in Sweden has led to new findings on the interaction between the “accelerator” and the “brake” in the striatum. These findings may guide the development of treatments for movement disorders such as those oc

Off the coast at Haväng, forests several thousands of years old are hidden below the sea. When researchers dive down to examine the well-preserved tree-trunks, they are literally diving deep into human history. Arne Sjöström gets ready for another sea dive.
