Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a uniquely detailed global climate model that will increase our understanding of climate change. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, at this level of detail, are included in climate modeling within EC-Earth, a global climate and earth system model. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, and in particular at this

Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a new, updated version of a global climate model that will increase understanding of global warming. Through the new model, one can now look at how land use and changes to vegetation can influence, and be influenced by, climate change. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, and in particular at this level of detail, has been i

Lund University has a world-class art collection worth hundreds of millions of Swedish crowns. But many of the less valuable paintings are currently hidden in attics and cellar storage rooms. “With the initiative entitled ‘When collections come to life’ and a new open warehouse, we want to highlight the art collection and make it more accessible”, says Annie Lindberg, archivist and acting director

Wobbling and laughing, a few of the girls glide over the ice. They are holding hands in a chain. If one falls, they all go down. They are thirteen recently arrived girls and five volunteers in the Save the Children project, Girl to Girl, who are meeting on a Sunday at the ice rink in Lund. One of the volunteers is studying Human Rights as an activity for the Certificate of International Merits (CI

In recently published studies, researchers at Lund University and Skåne University Hospital in Sweden have produced new prediction models for improved personalised treatment of lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. The latest results that have now been published in Clinical Cancer Research and BMC Cancer show that up to one in every three operations could be avoided. Breast cancer is the most com

The forest and forest management are a hot topic in the climate debate, but there are still uncertainties in the mapping of the forest's function as a carbon sink or carbon source. In a new study, led by Patrik Vestin at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, the researchers have made measurements of greenhouse gases at clear-cutting and found that there are large net emission

Researchers have identified an antioxidant – richly occurring in broccoli – as a new antidiabetic substance. A patient study shows significantly lower blood sugar levels in participants who ate broccoli extract with high levels of sulforaphane. “There are strong indications that this can become a valuable supplement to existing medication,” says Anders Rosengren, Docent in Metabolic Physiology at

Smokers have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, but a higher risk of dying from the disease, according to a large population study led by Lund University in Sweden. The researchers followed more than 350 000 people over several decades, and the results are now published in European Urology. It is well known that smokers have an increased risk of developing various cancers, but there have

Eight days. That's how long it takes for skin cells to reprogram into red blood cells. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues at Center of Regenerative Medicine in Barcelona, have successfully identified the four genetic keys that unlock the genetic code of skin cells and reprogram them to start producing red blood cells instead. "We have performed this experiment on mi

Diabetes is currently treated using incretin hormones to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other medical issues that the illness can trigger. Now researchers from Lund University in Sweden have noted new links between these hormones and arteriosclerosis, and believe their discovery could be significant for treatment of diabetes in the future. The study is published in Diabetes Care. Wh

The risk of being exposed to Covid-19 particles increases with shorter physical distance to a patient, higher patient viral load and poor ventilation. Measurements taken by researchers at Lund University in Sweden of airborne virus in hospitals provide new knowledge about how best to adapt healthcare to reduce the risk of spread of infection. Researchers hope current international guidelines in he

A large amount of lungs donated cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital have conducted an animal study bringing hope that more donor lungs could be used in the future. The researchers have launched a pilot study to investigate whether the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 19

By assigning a barcode to stem cells, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made it possible to monitor large blood cell populations as well as individual blood cells, and study the changes over time. Among other things, they discovered that stem cells go through different stages where their ability to restore immune cells varies. The new findings provide important information for the rese
