Drones are becoming a matter of interest for more than just the military and the toy industry. Lund University’s School of Aviation in Ljungbyhed (TFHS) is now launching the first study programme for drone operators in Sweden – and perhaps the world. Drone flying over Ljungbyhed.

Two biology researchers at Lund University have been awarded a prestigious grant worth almost SEK 50 million from the European Research Council. One of the research projects is about the mystery of aging and how the immune system attacks the body’s own cells. The other project will study how small insects are able to navigate with the help of the Earth’s magnetic field.The Mystery of AgingProfesso

Smith & Meissner are two researchers who have been hand-picked to find molecular clues to healing processes in the heart and blood vessels. A cardiologist and a molecular biologist who complement one another and work together to move research forward, Gustav Smith and Anja Meissner are one of the “tandem pairs” in a major initiative at the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine (WCMM).

Sometimes healthcare professionals treat patients with opioids such as morphine to relieve symptoms, but there has been a lack of evidence as to whether this helps with severe chronic breathlessness. A randomised Phase 3 study conducted by Swedish and Australian researchers now finds that morphine does not reduce worst breathlessness. The study is published in JAMA. Long term shortness of breath i

The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th

There are currently no drugs that stop or inhibit Alzheimer's disease. Despite drug trials showing plaque reduction in the brain, the patients' cognitive function did not improve. Would the results be different if it were possible to design studies that intervene much earlier on in the disease, before cognition is affected? This is what an international study, led by Lund University in Sweden, has

Researchers already know that gelatin-covered electrode implants cause less damage to brain tissue than electrodes with no gelatin coating. Researchers at the Neuronano Research Centre (NRC) at Lund University in Sweden have now shown that microglia, the brain’s cleansing cells, and the enzymes that the cells use in the cleaning process, change in the presence of gelatin. “Knowledge about the bene

In their quest to find new and better methods to make cancer cells more susceptible to treatment, Karin Lindkvist and her research group at Lund University in Sweden are looking into the world of molecules, using the X-rays at the MAX IV laboratory. The researchers believe that limiting the cells' access to sugar will make cancer cells more sensitive to treatment. Many of the cancer treatments use
“When his head moves it makes me happy and I feel appreciated. I believe I like to think of him as a living thing.

There are many questions concerning the coronavirus and infection prevention that need to be answered as soon as possible. One of the key questions is: Is the coronavirus floating around in the air we breathe? In a few weeks, air samples from coronavirus patient rooms will hopefully have been analysed and possibly provide some clues. Measurements are currently carried out at the infectious disease

Can a new neighbourhood be a spearhead for sustainability if it has a huge shopping mall at its heart? And to what extent can urban planning influence the way people live in an area? In her thesis, Agenda 2030 doctoral student Alva Zalar has examined Hyllie in southern Malmö from a norm-critical perspective that interweaves architecture and queer theory. In the early 2000s, the city of Malmö decid

Personer som besökt en psykiatrisk akutmottagning minst fem gånger på ett år utgör en liten men komplex patientgrupp. Såväl personerna själva som vårdpersonalen vittnar om behov att få hjälp att få till en fungerande vardag och därmed kunna minska det psykiatriska lidandet. Manuela Schmidt, som nyligen disputerat på ämnet vid Lunds universitet, ser ett måste i en integrerad vårdmodell som utgår fr

Following the arrival of the first farmers in Scandinavia 5,900 years ago, the hunter-gatherer population was wiped out within a few generations, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, among others. The results, which are contrary to prevailing opinion, are based on DNA analysis of skeletons and teeth found in what is now Denmark. The extensive study has been published as four se
