Work is slowly starting back up again after a long and much-needed break. Before I turn my attention to what lies ahead, I would like to begin by looking back briefly. At the end of last autumn, I travelled to Chicago, partly to visit my son, who is an exchange student at Illinois Institute of Technology, and partly to visit the University of Chicago to explore potential collaborations. The timing

What obstacles stand in the way of user-centred working, and what is needed to succeed? Many organisations want to adopt a user-centred approach, but a new doctoral thesis shows that success is elusive when conflicting demands and a lack of organisational support throw a spanner in the works. Today, there is considerable pressure on organisations to work in a user-centred way. There is talk of use

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

New biomarkers are making it easier to detect Alzheimer’s disease and improve diagnosis, which is increasingly important as new treatments become available. MultiPark researchers are also developing an AI model that could detect several dementia-related conditions from a single blood test. At the same time, MultiPark researchers are exploring how dementia might be prevented, including why brain in

Varför ligger det hundratals människoben huller om buller på marken i Uppåkra? Det är ett av mysterierna som arkeologer vid Lunds universitet hoppas kunna lösa de kommande åren. ­Till sin hjälp har de bland annat toppmodern dna-teknik. Ett stilla lugn råder i Uppåkra, strax utanför Lund. Det enda som hörs under den enorma tältduk som har spänts upp strax intill en gammal svinstia – som för övrigt
