When the Swedish Research Council announced funding for so-called "centres of excellence" almost three years ago, a total of 15 new initiatives were approved across Sweden. Only one of them was awarded to Lund: COMMONS – Commonalities in biomembrane and biomolecular interactions.A year has now passed since COMMONS was inaugurated with a ceremony at the Department of Chemistry. What has happened si

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

Do you think that people with obesity have themselves to blame? Tune H Pers tries to dispel persistent myths through his research on the brain's role in the development of obesity. The diabetes researcher at the University of Copenhagen is now awarded the Leif C. Groop award for his research on obesity and type 2 diabetes.

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. In every study environment there is a unique culture, with boundaries to what is considered acceptable and unacceptable by the students themsel

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 city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

We need to prioritise nature even if there are other conflicting interests – biodiversity is essential to all of us on the planet and ultimately to our health and wellbeing. The statement comes from Maria Blasi Romero, researcher in Biodiversity and Conservation at Lund University. “I went to COP15 to learn about the processes and how to share my research with those who can make use of the results

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

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
