After screening 15 000 women over a period of five years, a major clinical study in Sweden has shown that 3D mammography, or breast tomosynthesis, detects over 30% more cancers compared to traditional mammography – with a majority of the detected tumours proving to be invasive cancers. The extensive screening study wa

Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success

Environmental pioneer Henrik Smith has won a major international ecology prize. He is also keen to emphasise the importance of research activity’s interaction with society – gone are the days when writing an extensive study and then leaving it to gather dust was enough. Henrik Smith, professor of animal ecology at Lund University, has been awarded the internationally renowned Marsh Awards for Ecol

Data literacy is increasing its importance for current and future professionals. But what is ‘data literacy’ exactly and how do LUSEM educators work with it? We asked Blerim Emruli, Senior Lecturer in Informatics, and recently announced as one of the select participants in the Inaugural Professor Ambassador Class at Qlik. Senior Lecturer Blerim Emruli is one of seven educators from around the glob

Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en antitoxinmekanism som tycks kunna neutralisera hundratals olika toxiner och därmed skydda bakterier mot virusattacker. Mekanismen har fått namnet Panacea, efter den grekiska medicinens gudinna vars namn har blivit synonymt med universellt botemedel. Förståelsen av bakteriella toxin- och antitoxinmekanismer kommer att vara avgörande för framtida framgångsrik fagterap

Har du märkt att forskares svar på frågor om en särskild extremväderhändelse beror på klimatförändringen eller inte brukar lyda något i stil med “Det passar in i mönstret, men vi kan inte säga med säkerhet att just denna händelse blivit värre på grund av klimatförändringarna”? Väderattribution är ett nytt fenomen som håller på att ändra på detta. Klimatforskare Wilhelm May på Lunds universitet hjä

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Type 2 diabetes is often not caused by a lack of insulin per se, but an inability of the beta cells to secrete adequate amounts of it. Recently, scientists at LUDC have identified a previously unknown agent that plays an important role in the release of insulin. Knock-out mice that lack the ClC3 protein have a severel

Could a simple mineral supplement improve outcomes for heart failure patients? WCMM Clinical Researcher Martin Magnusson is leading a major international study to find out, testing selenium supplementation in over 4,300 patients across Sweden and Norway. Around 250,000 people in Sweden live with heart failure, a condition in which the heart struggles to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.

When staff members at the Faculty of Social Sciences move into Allhelgonaskolan, many will need to get used to new ways of working and adopt a more activity-based approach. The building will also be opened up so that everyone working within the faculty can use one of the floors for various activities, such as meetings. An activity-based office is based on a simple idea: different tasks require dif

Research shows that half of today’s jobs will not be necessary in 20 years’ time. Questions about unemployment and the future job market have been discussed at several different university events in recent months, most recently at Debatt i Lund. In early June, pol

An experimental study from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that the Alzheimer’s protein amyloid-beta accumulates inside nerve cells, and that the misfolded protein may then spread from cell to cell via nerve fibres. This happens at an earlier stage than the formation of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain, something that is associated with the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. The study in
