En ny epidemiologisk studie från Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus visar att det finns ett samband mellan höga nivåer av tarmhormonet GIP i blodet och ökad risk för hjärtkärlsjukdom. Att tarmhormonerna GIP och GLP-1 (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide och glucagon-like peptide) är viktiga för insulinproduktionen i bukspottskörteln är välkänt. Det är hormoner som bildas i tarma

Idag finns lagar och förordningar som gör oss skyldiga att bistå med tillgänglig och inkluderande undervisning. LU:s utbildning ska vara för alla, men hur ska det gå till i praktiken? Den 15:e november samlas vi för att lyssna, lära och diskutera. Våra studenter är inte en homogen grupp. Vi ansvarar för att alla ska ha samma chans att lära och utvecklas på universitetet.

Raden av anmärkningsvärda lunda­alumner inne i AF-borgen ska utökas med nya namn. Nu bjuds allmänheten in att nominera den alumn de tycker förtjänar den ärofyllda platsen i Stora salen. Det finns två kriterier som inte är förhandlingsbara. Längs med balkongen inne i Stora salen, själva hjärtat i AF-borgen, löper en fris. På den finns namnen på ett antal tidigare lunda­studenter, skapade genom tekn

Is Africa rising? That’s one of many questions covered in LUSEM’s newly launched open global online course (MOOC) – African development, from the past to the present. Taking on an economic history perspective of the continent, the course covers the past centuries – with an emphasis on the past hundred years. With more than two decades worth of research and fieldwork on Africa, Lund University Econ

Art and culture have the capacity to make us aware of our relationship to ourselves and others, our world and our time. Using existential sustainability as an umbrella term, we can investigate new angles and open the way for new collaborations, according to Anna Lyrevik, senior adviser to the Vice-Chancellor, who has broad experience of delivering cultural projects in various forms. “My mission is

For the first time, Lund University has a new strategy for education. What does this mean for the Faculty and how does it affect our teaching? Maria Björkqvist, Vice Dean for Education at the Faculty, answers. For the first time in the University's history, there is now a common strategy for education. It aims to guide everyone who works with education at Lund University. The strategy contains the

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have shown that well-developed eyes come at a surprising cost to other organ systems. The study involving Mexican cavefish shows that the visual system can require between 5% and 15% of an animal’s total energy budget. Researchers have long associated the presence of a well-developed brain with major energy consumption. This means that animals that develo

A new study from Lund University in Sweden has, for the first time, reconstructed solar activity during the last ice age. The study shows that the regional climate is influenced by the sun and offers opportunities to better predict future climate conditions in certain regions. For the first time, a research team has been able to reconstruct the solar activity at the end of the last ice age, around

Researchers at MultiPark have uncovered in mice how the protein TDP-43, known for its role in several neurodegenerative diseases, disrupts the hypothalamus, the brain’s key center for metabolic control. Their study sheds new light on the role of TDP-43 in metabolic and psychiatric symptoms shared across frontotemporal dementia, Huntington’s disease, and ALS – findings that could support the develo

Earlier this spring, MERGE researchers gathered in Stockholm with their European colleagues to plan the final developments of the EC-Earth4 climate model that will underpin the next report of the IPCC, expected in 2028.

Extensive power outages and satellite blackouts that affect air travel and the internet are some of the potential consequences of massive solar storms. These storms are believed to be caused by the release of enormous amounts of stored magnetic energy due to changes in the magnetic field of the sun’s outer atmosphere - something that until now has eluded scientists’ direct measurement. Researchers

Through analyzes of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found evidence of an extreme solar storm that occurred about 9,200 years ago. What puzzles the researchers is that the storm took place during one of the sun's more quiet phases – during which it is generally believed our planet is less exposed to such events. The sun is a prerequisite

Colombia is the world’s most dangerous country for those fighting to protect the rain forest and the environment. Last year, 79 people were killed for that reason, three times as many as in the second most dangerous country, Brazil. This means planning field studies there needs to be particularly meticulous.
