There were no differences in quality of life, symptoms, hospital admissions or mortality between a group of patients with pulmonary disease and low oxygen levels in the blood that received oxygen therapy at home for 24 hours a day, and a group that received the same therapy for 15 hours a day, according to a study from Lund University in Sweden. “This has considerable significance for patients wit

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In

Every year, the Swedish Riksdag organises a research day. This year the theme was “artificial intelligence”. The aim is to give Members of Parliament the opportunity to gain new knowledge and to highlight the value of science for politics, democracy, and parliamentary decision-making. This year, Johan Axhamn, senior lecturer in Business Law here at LUSEM, was the sole representative from Lund Univ

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

At any given time, more than 2 billion natural killer cells patrol the adult bloodstream as frontline defenders, protecting against infections and cancer. In a recent study published in Blood Advances, researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center present a comprehensive developmental map of human NK cells and their regulatory networks. Natural killer (NK) cells, named for their rapid res

Innovation and successful higher education institutions go hand in hand. It would be difficult to name a well-renowned university that is not also strong on innovation issues. At Lund University, we have been working on innovation for a long time and in a variety of ways, not least in terms of research results that in turn have resulted in start-up companies. Many of these companies have also bene

Just before the summer, the Vice-Chancellor decided on Lund University's Green Travel Plan. It highlights the issues the University needs to work on in the future to further enhance its work on sustainable commuting to work and studies. The University's work within CoAction to promote a carbon-neutral Lund, as well as the previous project on sustainable mobility at Lund University, have now result

Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

Studiefusket ökade med uppåt 200% under covid-åren. I spår av detta har Lunds universitet startat ett projekt för att förebygga vilseledande vid examination (eller fusk som vilseledande kallas till vardags), oavsett om det är otillåtet samarbete, plagiering eller otillåtna hjälpmedel. I varje studerandemiljö finns en unik kultur med gränser för vad som anses acceptabelt och vad som anses oacceptab

I samhällsdebatten gestaltas ofta äldre som sköra och passiva. Men nu visar en ny avhandling av CASE-anslutna doktor Afsaneh Taei, i forskargruppen Aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande, att äldre personer i utsatta områden tvärtom är aktiva och delaktiga i att försöka göra sitt närområde bättre och tryggare. – De vill bidra.

När Vetenskapsrådet för snart tre år sedan utlyste bidrag till så kallade excellenscenter beviljades totalt 15 nya satsningar runt om i Sverige. Endast ett av dem hamnade i Lund: "COMMONS – Commonalities in biomembrane and biomolecular interactions".Nu har ett år gått sedan COMMONS invigdes med pompa och ståt ute vid kemiska institutionen. Vad har hänt sedan dess? Hur har centret tagit sig an uppd
