Vid årsskiftet firar Skåne två år som en region med SMS-livräddning. Närmare 24 000 skåningar har anmält sig villiga att rycka ut när mobilen larmar om hjärtstopp i närheten. Lundaforskare tittar nu närmare på förloppet vid hjärtstopp utanför sjukhus: Hur ser förutsättningarna ut för de utryckande civilpersonerna? Och hur går det för de personer som överlever? – Vi i Skåne har en mycket robust HLR

Ögonläkaren och forskaren Lotta Gränse vid Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus har kunnat visa att ögondroppar med kortison kan förhindra utvecklingen av den mycket allvarliga ögonsjukdomen ROP hos spädbarn. Det har revolutionerat behandlingen och innebär att huvuddelen av barn i södra sjukvårdsregionen med svår ROP inte behöver traditionell behandling i narkos för att undvika svår sy

Skolgårdar är en underutnyttjad resurs som borde användas aktivt som ett svar på den pågående krisen för klimatet och den biologiska mångfalden, och för att stärka barns hälsa och lärande. Det menar tjugo forskare och pedagoger som i en ny kunskapssammanställning listar enkla åtgärder för att göra skolgårdar grönare – och samtidigt uppnå flera vinster för både klimatanpassning och artrikedom. Det

I maj tillträdde Formas tidigare generaldirektör Ingrid ­Petersson posten som ny styrelseordförande för Lunds universitet. Två dagar före utnämningen ändrades förutsättningarna för henne och övriga styrelseledamöter när regeringen mer än halverade mandattiden från tre år till 17 månader. – Det var olyckligt. Jag kommer dock att satsa för fullt under de 17 månader som beslutet gäller, så får vi se

Julmusik är mer än bakgrundsljud till stök och mys. Från Mariah Careys smällkaramell ”All I Want for Christmas” till Whams förlorade kärlek i “Last Christmas” – varje låt bär på sin egen berättelse om varför just den hör julen till. – Julmusikens kraft ligger i dess förmåga att sätta oss i kontakt med våra känslor, från fest till eftertanke. Trots att vi kanske inte känner så i varuhuset när det d

En observationsstudie från Lunds universitet som undersökt sockerkonsumtion, har fått stor nationell och internationell uppmärksamhet. Studien visar att sötade drycker har större negativ inverkan på hälsan än andra sockerkällor. De ökade signifikant risken för ischemisk stroke, hjärtsvikt, förmaksflimmer och bråck på bukens kroppspulsåder. Av de 70 000 svenskar som deltog i hälsostudien, blev 26 0

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

A treatment that has reduced plaque development in animals has now been tested in people with psoriasis. Jan Nilsson at Lund University is one of the researchers behind the clinical study that showed a reduced inflammation of the coronary arteries, which in turn may reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack. People with diabetes may also benefit from the treatment in the future. Short facts abo

The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable

Site-selected crystal material synthesis at the atomic scale has been a long-standing challenge. NanoLundians Rainer Timm and Yi Liu use nanowire crystal phase heterostructures as templates for self-selective growth of one- and two-dimensional GaBi nanostructures, which allows a versatile design with atomic-scale precision. Scaling down material synthesis to crystalline structures only a few atoms

Academic misconduct has increased with about 200% during the past covid years. As a precaution Lund University has started a project to prevent deception and misleading in examination, whether it’s unauthorized cooperation, plagiarism, or non-allowed aids.

Lund University’s researchers are good at applying for and obtaining external research grants. But many funding bodies require faculties and departments to co-fund research projects, something that is becoming a major financial challenge for the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and others. “Of course there is a limit to what we can do,” says Magnus Genrup, head of the Department of Energy Sciences.

The next-door neighbour whose home you’ve never been inside. That was how Jason Diakité, also known as hip hop artist Timbuktu, felt about the University while growing up in Lund. Today, he feels differently – having been awarded an honorary doctorate and now taking his seat as one of LU’s external Cultural Council members. Inside the historic Old Bishop’s House, final preparations are underway fo

Trump’s attack on US universities and their research is actually a broader attack on democratic values, according to historian of knowledge Johan Östling. By destroying them, the Trump administration is paving the way for a very different kind of society.  “We need to understand the breadth and depth of this offensive,” says Johan Östling.Could you put Trump’s actions against universities in the U
