Vi har levt med coronapandemin under lång tid, både i Sverige och internationellt. I ett nytt samverkansprojekt vill forskare med hjälp av AI-metoder, register- och mobildata utveckla och utvärdera applikationer som ska kunna användas för att upptäcka och bekämpa pandemier i framtiden. – Det kan låta lite klyschigt att säga att det är ett tvärvetenskapligt projekt, eftersom det ibland kan bli en p

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Nu kraftsamlar Lunds universitet för att realisera ProNano – en pilotproduktionsanläggning för nanoteknikprototyper. Universitetet har tillsammans med Region Skåne och RISE, statens ägarbolag för industriforskningsinstitut, tagit fram ett så kallat White paper som tydliggör satsningen. – En satsning på industrialise

Graviditeter urholkar inte kvinnans skelett. Amning, däremot, kan minska bentätheten rejält, visar en forskningsrapport vid Lunds universitet. Men ammande kvinnor behöver inte oroa sig. – Det sker en dipp, men kroppen är helt fantastisk på att ta igen det tappet, säger Kristina Åkesson, professor i ortopedi. Både amning och graviditet kräver stora mängder kalcium. Därför ville lundaforskarna Lisa

Mer än varannan tonårsflicka blödde rikligt och 40 procent hade järnbrist. Forskningen som är ledd från Lunds universitet visar även att ett enkelt formulär kan användas för att upptäcka unga tonårsflickor med riklig mens som löper ökad risk. Så många som hälften av tonårsflickorna i studien som publiceras i PLOS One hade rikliga menstruationer, och fyra av tio hade järnbrist. Studien genomfördes

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

Can you tell me a little about your research area?I research diseases and conditions of the hip joint that affect children but can also cause pain and osteoarthritis in adulthood. One example is hip dysplasia, where the acetabulum does not sufficiently cover the femoral head. Hip dysplasia occurs in 0.5-1% of newborns in Sweden and is almost always detected at the maternity ward. When diagnosed ea
