I över 60 år har forskare försökt avgöra om växter pollineras mer på dagen eller natten – utan att nå någon tydlig slutsats. Nu visar en stor forskningsöversikt gjord vid Lunds universitet att nattens pollinatörer gör lika stor insats som dagaktiva arter i hela 90 procent av de undersökta fallen. Det flesta av oss vet hur viktiga bin, fåglar och fjärilar är för växters reproduktion – utan pollinat

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat ett digitalt kognitivt test för diagnostisering av Alzheimers sjukdom, avsett att användas i primärvården. – Med det digitala testet, som patienten genomför själv, förbättras primärvårdsläkares möjlighet att tidigt i utredningsskedet avgöra vem som bör undersökas vidare genom blodprov för alzheimerpatologi, säger professor Oskar Hansson som lett studien

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en mekanism som hjälper akut myeloisk leukemi-celler att undgå kroppens immunförsvar. Genom att utveckla en antikropp som blockerar mekanismen kunde forskarna återställa immunförsvarets förmåga att döda cancercellerna i laboratorieförsök och i möss. Upptäckten publiceras i Nature Cancer. Studien i korthet:I studien visas hur en nyupptäckt mekanism

Forskning vid Lunds universitet visar att de biologiska föräldrarnas gener påverkar barnets insulinfunktion samt förmågor att reglera blodsockernivåer och blodfetter på olika sätt. Med hjälp av sådan kunskap kan det bli möjligt att utveckla förebyggande behandlingar som minskar barnets risk att utveckla typ 2-diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Tidigare forskning av diabetesforskaren Rashmi Prasad har

Genom att skapa ett konstgjort åldrande hos möss, har lundaforskare kunnat följa hur aneurysm – pulsåderbråck – utvecklas i blodkärlens väggar. Ett resultat i studien, som nu publicerats i Journal of Biological Chemistry, överraskade forskarna: mössen skyddades samtidigt mot högt blodtryck genom att en annan signalväg aktiverades i kärlväggens celler - och kompenserade för belastningen i de åldran

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previous research by diabetes researcher Rashmi Prasad has sh

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have conducted a clinical study to show how a woman’s genetic profile provides information on which hormone treatment is most effective for in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The researchers have now developed a simple oral swab test that shows which hormone therapy is the best option for IVF treatment About 15 per cent of all couples of reproductive age are inv

Lund University has a world-class art collection worth hundreds of millions of Swedish crowns. But many of the less valuable paintings are currently hidden in attics and cellar storage rooms. “With the initiative entitled ‘When collections come to life’ and a new open warehouse, we want to highlight the art collection and make it more accessible”, says Annie Lindberg, archivist and acting director

Every year Birger Schmitz, Fredrik Terfelt and Ellinor Martin dissolve five to ten tonnes of limestone with highly dangerous chemicals. The aim is to find microscopic grains from fossilised meteorites that are many millions of years old, which can provide important clues to the development of life on Earth.  LUM was given a tour of the world-unique acid laboratory.  There is a smacking sound as Fr

By analysing the growth rings from trees that are several thousand years old, preserved in peat bogs, geologist Johannes Edvardsson is creating a unique timeline of Sweden’s historical climate. The buried time capsules also hold clues that could help us to better understand how our forests will be affected by future climate change.  With a screaming noise, the sharp blade of the chainsaw cuts thro

It was 17 December 1944. The American B-24 bomber aircraft, better known as the Tulsamerican, was circling the island of Vis off the coast of Croatia. The plane was damaged following an attack by the Germans and finally crashed into the sea. Seven of the ten crew members survived but three died, among them the pilot, Eugene Ford. Now, the marine archaeologist Brendan Foley has brought him home for

Where is the debate on the Strut inquiry's proposals and their consequences? That is the question being asked by the three researchers Kristian Pietras, Hanna Isaksson and Emma Sparr who are particularly worried by one of the proposals. – An increase in direct government funding at the cost of weakened research councils may mean that research loses its freedom and international competitiveness.

Everyone knows about source criticism, but researchers Jutta Haider and Olof Sundin want to emphasise source confidence. “There has been an intensive focus on the critical aspect. Pupils leave school with the attitude that you cannot trust anything, so source confidence is an important complement to source criticism. There must be confidence in our social institutions”, says Jutta Haider. Olof Sun
