There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body’s blood sugar levels. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, shows how chemical changes to DNA affect both insulin-producing beta cells and glucagon-producing alpha cells – and how these patterns change in type 2 diabetes. All cells in the body have t

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden collected wild flatworms from Malmö’s largest park, Pildammsparken. These creatures are masters at regenerating after injury. Now, for the first time, the worms’ unique ability to regenerate has been harnessed to help accelerate wound healing in human skin models. A research team at Lund University was recently contacted by researchers at a Korean skincar

We spoke with Alex Vermeulen, Director of the ICOS ERIC Carbon Portal, about the latest World Meteorological Organization report, the Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, for which Alex serves as editor. Published in October – in time to provide the latest data to the COP30 meeting – the report describes the largest year-on-year rise in CO₂ levels since records began in the 1950s. Alex shares his thoughts on

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

The University’s researchers published no fewer than 76 articles in The Conversation in 2025 – a new record. Altogether, the University’s articles reached an audience of 1.45 million readers last year. The 76 articles represent a substantial increase from the previous year’s total of 55 and reflect the great breadth within the University. The articles cover everything from East Asia and geopolitic

This year’s report from the V-Dem Institute’s Academic Freedom Index focuses in particular on the institutional autonomy of higher education institutions in different countries, which in turn is fundamental to the protection of individual academic freedom.  This includes countries such as Hungary, which began its steady decline from a high ranking in institutional autonomy in 2009 to a bottom-of-t

Now the colours of summer are giving way to a slightly more melancholic colour scheme, one that is more golden and deeper than the intense palette of early summer. But this plaintive shift is not reflected in University life, which, in my experience, flourishes best in the autumn, with ideas sown during the hectic pace of spring, left to settle over the summer, and then bursting into life here in

Ett nytt sätt att räkna ut ett lands koldioxidutsläpp kan förändra spelplanen när länders klimatarbete utvärderas. Sverige skulle klättra i rankingen om modellen, som också inkluderar ett lands teknikjusterade exportpåverkan, började användas. Bland andra Statistiska Centralbyrån visar intresse för måttet som utvecklats vid Lunds universitet. Så vad går det ut på – det teknikjusterade klimatfotavt
