Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA, shows a new study. The results may also explain why combining certain cancer drugs can produce the opposite of the intended effect.
Students on master’s programme in Strategic Urban and Regional Planning do more than study how cities develop. They step straight into reality. By working on real cases in Norrköping, their ideas could help shape the city’s future.
The Promobilia Foundation has donated SEK 30 million to LiU for a research project where organic electronics will be used to treat Parkinson’s disease symptoms. Stiftelsen för Parkinsonsforskning at LiU has also donated SEK 5 million to the purpose.
LiU researchers will try to find out whether it is possible to use genetic engineering to “undomesticate” domesticated chickens. This could be a tool for conserving endangered species – and perhaps recreating extinct animals.
FuturISE is an international research project that explores solidarity across generations in times of crisis. Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic can guide responses to future challenges, such as the climate crisis.
Pierfrancesco Pagella and Hiroshi Egusa co-led a symposium kicking-off a new international project that brings together researchers from Sweden and Japan to address the growing challenge of age-related dental diseases.
Six LiU students have embarked on a new collaboration with students from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). At the same time, they have taken the first steps towards their thesis work in logistics.
The Swedish Research Council has awarded SEK 50 million to LiU. This is the outcome of six calls for proposals where the allocation of grants was recently decided. The research covers areas such as segregation, youth crime and opioid dependence.
A genetic variant that protects against stomach virus infections appeared when humans began farming. This is shown by researchers at LiU and Karolinska Institutet, after analysing the genomes of 4,300 ancient individuals and cultivated “mini-guts”.
Researchers at LiU share SEK 12 million for new projects to improve treatment and quality of life for cancer patients. One of them is Henrik Green, who studies how genetic differences between patients can affect how they react to cancer treatment.
A blood pressure as low as 120/80 mm Hg in adolescence is linked to a higher risk of atherosclerosis in middle age. These findings indicate that high blood pressure early in life plays an important role in the development of coronary artery disease.
Kerlos Marouki, a graduate from the master’s programme in Strategic Urban and Regional Planning, has received the Property Owners’ thesis scholarship for his study on how Swedish cities use the BID model (Business Improvement Districts).
Nine young researchers will share almost SEK 18 million from Catharina Högbom’s and Michael Cocozza’s Foundation for research and culture. The money is to fund research at Linköping University.
LiU played host to a dynamic exchange of ideas, experiences, and strategies aimed at enhancing academic staff development and fostering meaningful international collaboration across European higher education institutions.
The Bioengineering human oral tissues and disease models team receives a VR-3R grant. The grant for the development of methods to replace, reduce and refine animal experiments.
LiU has deepened its research collaboration with the German graphite manufacturer SGL Carbon, with the long-term aim of strengthening European semiconductor manufacturing. Together, they have developed a purpose-built CVD tool on Campus Valla.
Arvind Balachandran successfully defended his doctoral thesis titled "Design, Modulation, and Control of Battery-Integrated Modular Multilevel Converters for Automotive Applications" on April 25.
A new drug on the European market – every week. Professor Henrik Green is using research to help government agencies stop the most dangerous online drugs more quickly.
How do culture, language and storytelling influence medical practice? These questions were at the centre when researchers from across the Nordic region gathered at Linköping University for CMHB’s Visionary Day.
High-quality education and outstanding research unite Linköping University with universities in Japan – but there are also shared challenges. For example, the timing of semester starts should be synchronised, according to Japan’s ambassador...
Researchers from LiU among the world’s most influential. Clarivate has once again listed those who rank within the top one per cent most cited in their research fields.
Emissions of methane from lakes and reservoirs risk doubling by the end of the century due to climate change according to a new study from LiU and NASA. This in turn could raise Earth’s temperature more than suggested by current worst-case scenario.
For the first time, LiU has conducted an evaluation of all research – its quality, the culture, and the conditions for further development. The evaluation has been carried out through self-evaluation and external review by experts.
The sperm is not a passive supplier of genetic material to the egg. A study shows that certain molecules that come with the sperm, so-called micro-RNA, contribute to the development of the embryo several days after conception.
