Cold weather, dry air, an overactive immune system or our modern lifestyle. The causes may vary, but an increasing number of people are suffering from atopic eczema. In particular, children from higher socioeconomic backgrounds are at higher risk of developing the condition. However, there is help available and it is important to apply treatment early says Laura von Kobyletzki, a researcher at Lun

In Parkinson’s disease (PD), dopamine-producing nerve cells that control our movements waste away. Current treatments for PD therefore aim at restoring dopamine contents in the brain. In a new study from Lund University, researchers are attacking the problem from a different angle, through early activation of a protein that improves the brain’s capacity to cope with a host of harmful processes. St

What is climate-related loss and when can it be considered disproportionate? This question is at the heart of Kelly Dorkenoo’s thesis which explores loss associated with land in smallholder farming communities in Cambodia. Her motivation was to deepen our understanding of – and to find ways to mitigate – loss arising from climate change impacts, focusing on communities whose livelihoods are closel

Opinion by Matthias Lehner, postdoc at the IIIEE. Airbnb is a hugely successful American company that has managed to make us invite strangers into our own private homes. I visited New Zealand last winter and stayed with an old lady in her private home outside Nelson, and it was an exciting experience where I got to know someone I otherwise would never have met. For a small fee, I got to stay in a

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. This means you can use bacteria to determine whether someone has just been to the beach, got off the train in the city

In an infection, there are tens of thousands of peptides that provide a wealth of information about which bacteria have caused the infection and how severe it is. A research team at Lund University has now combined clinical questions with mathematical methods to systematically analyze these peptides. This scientific breakthrough has the potential to transform the diagnosis and treatment of infecti
