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

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

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.

Trump’s attack on US universities and their research is actually a broader attack on democratic values, according to historian of knowledge Johan Östling.

Bete är en nyckelåtgärd för att bevara naturbetesmarker, några av Sveriges viktigaste livsmiljöer ur natur- och kulturvårdssynpunkt. Det är dock en utmaning att hitta rätt nivå på betet vilket leder till att många värdefulla marker betas för hårt, medan andra marker växer igen. För att diskutera utmaningar med ett högt betestryck, och öppna dörren till möjliga lösningar, bjöd LU Land in till ett f

LUND SPRING SYMPOSIUM – När Katherine A. High började arbeta med genterapi var fältet nytt, lovande – och fyllt av osäkerhet. Hennes forskning har lett till behandlingar som förändrat livet för patienter med ärftliga sjukdomar. Men vägen dit var allt annat än enkel. När Katherine A. High klev in i genterapins värld var konceptet mer teoretiskt än praktiskt. Hon minns de tidigaste försöken i fältet
