Skåne University Hospital’s 3D Printing Centre normally produces surgical equipment and anatomical models used in health care. However, they are now producing protective visors instead, as there is a shortage at hospitals in the region. The centre, run by Region Skåne and linked to Lund University, hopes to do even more, and serve as a hub for 3D-printing in healthcare given the current situation.

We find ourselves in trying times. Much of what we know and take for granted is being turned on its head. Around the world, we see the spread of the coronavirus affecting country after country. As an international student, you are far away from your loved ones at a time when your studies, mobility, travel and socialising are being severely tested. Many are also observing that Sweden’s government a

‘With age comes wisdom’ is an old proverb well suited to Björn Jonson, professor emeritus in clinical physiology who is about to turn 80. He is working day and night to develop a ventilator specifically adapted to the treatment of those suffering the most from COVID 19. Björn Jonson has worked as a researcher in pulmonary physiology since the beginning of the 1960s. Quite early on in his research,

The frustration with not being able to contribute to the difficult situation surrounding the covid-19 pandemic led researchers at LUPOP to launch a matchmaking initiative. Their idea is to help researchers with clinical background, now needed in healthcare, by supporting their research and application work. As COVID-19 spreads throughout the world, public interest in epidemiology has increased sig

Many of the patients who become seriously ill with COVID-19 suffer from respiratory failure. Therefore, Lund University will train nurses within Region Skåne in advanced care for respiratory failure starting Wednesday. For healthcare, a big challenge is finding staff with the right skill set to treat COVID-19 patients. Many patients suffer from respiratory failure, and have difficulty oxygenating

Better than expected, but not without its challenges, especially socially. That’s how a couple of our students and staff tell the story of how we went from campus education to distance learning methods in a matter of days. Wednesday 18 March. The campus is still open to students and staff, but from now on very few, if any, lectures and group assessments are to be held here. Not today, and not duri

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in restoring mobility and sensation of touch in stroke-afflicted rats by reprogramming human skin cells to become nerve cells, which were then transplanted into the rats’ brains. The study has now been published in the research journal PNAS. “Six months after the transplantation, we could see how the new cells had repaired the damage that a s

In recent years, RNA molecules, with the ability to affect or turn off pathogenic genes, have become promising drug candidates in several areas. However, it has been a challenge to develop techniques to deliver the RNA molecules into the cells where they have an effect. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a sensitive technique that makes it possible to study the delivery in

The earthy smell in spring when the fields are ploughed and the garden soil in flower beds is dug over has a previously unknown purpose. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and other institutions have examined the soil smell and were able to show that it is linked to intricate interplay between millimetre-long insect-like organisms that

Patients who have been so ill they have needed intensive care often have a long recovery ahead of them – both physically and mentally. The problems that can develop include unpleasant memories of nightmares and hallucinations. Previous favourite foods can suddenly taste awful. Many intensive care patients recover well on their own; however, some patients need ongoing care to feel well. Lund resear
