There are currently a large number of newcomers in Sweden from countries such as Syria, Iraq and the Ukraine that hold highly interesting academic degrees. To benefit from their expertise, Lund University in cooperation with Folkuniversitetet are offering the programme Korta vägen (“The shortcut”) – a project funded by the Swedish Public Employment Service. On 8 September, some 80 academic newcome

An influenza infection in birds gives a good protection against other subtypes of the virus, like a natural vaccination, according to a new study. Water birds, in particular mallards, are often carriers of low-pathogenic influenza A virus. Researchers previously believed that birds infected by one variant of the virus could not benefit from it by building up immunity against other virus subtypes.

En internationell forskargrupp har upptäckt en behandling som dramatiskt reducerar svullnaden efter hjärn- och ryggmärgsskador. Genom att använda ett redan godkänt läkemedel på råttor kunde hjärnans vattenkanaler manipuleras med positivt resultat. Den nya studien ger hopp till de miljontals människor som varje år drabbas av hjärn- och ryggmärgsskador. Enligt Världshälsoorganisationen, WHO, drabbas

The mandate Head of Department rarely spans more than six years. Matthias Baier held it at the Sociology of Law Department for eleven. This spring, the former prefect resumed his position as Senior Lecturer. Accompanied by his partner and two dogs in their rural home outside of Lund, Matthias Baier spent the spring semester phasing himself out of the department's top managerial position and back t

Using machine learning and optimisation to find refugees’ new homes can significantly improve their chances of finding work within three months, according to new research. The international collaboration, conducted by researchers at the Universities of Oxford and Lund, Sweden as well as the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, involved developing Annie MOORE, an AI-powered software. The tech uses comp

Reptiles living in open habitats generally have brighter colouration than species living in denser vegetation. This is shown in a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The results suggest that changes in habitat and climate over millions of years have prompted animals to adapt their colouration in order to survive. It has been long established that environmental factors affect how animals’ col

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plant-eating insects affect forest ecosystems considerably more than previously thought. Among other things, the insects are a factor in the leaching of nutrients from soil and increased emissions of carbon dioxide. The researchers also establish that the temperature may rise as a result of an increase in the amount of plant-eating insects in s

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in developing a simple hydrocarbon molecule with a logic gate function, similar to that in transistors, in a single molecule. The discovery could make electric components on a molecular scale possible in the future. The results are published in Nature Communications. Manufacturing very small components is an important challenge in both resear

When asthmatics’ respiratory tracts are exposed to dust mites, their immune response becomes less effective, which can lead to a weaker immune system. People who suffer from asthma associated with infection may therefore be more susceptible to secondary viral or bacterial infections. According to the researchers, the results suggest that asthmatics should avoid house dust mites and that patients w

In a recent study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center uncover developmental differences in the molecular machinery of the cells that maintain the blood system. These findings provide new insights into how the blood system develops throughout life and identify mechanisms that, if disrupted, may lead to malignancies. The study is published in Cell Reports. The body makes several million blood ce

By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs.

Barn med typ 1 diabetes som för ofta har för höga blodsockervärden löper större risk att dö innan de fyller 30 år. Vanligaste dödsorsakerna är akuta diabeteskomplikationer. Slutsatsen drar svenska forskare som undersökt sambandet för ett stort antal typ 1 diabetiker mellan åren 2006 och 2014. De påpekar dock att dagens bättre blodsockerkontroll sannolika kommer att minska risken. Det är forskare f
