With the aid of satellite images, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have uncovered unique data on the severe drought that hit Syria between 2007 and 2009. Previously, many politicians and researchers believed that it was decisive for the outbreak of war in 2011. However, the new results indicate that agricultural land had already recovered by 2010. When the war in Syria broke out in 2011, t

A large-scale faeces and blood sample study indicates strong associations between gut bacteria and metabolites in the blood. Among other findings, the research team behind the study has identified new associations between a common type 2 diabetes drug and the gut microbiome. The study was led by researchers at Uppsala University and Lund University. The role of the gut microbiome in disease and he

Transistorer som kan ändra egenskaper är viktiga delar i utvecklingen av framtidens halvledare. När vanliga transistorer närmar sig sin gräns för hur små de kan bli, blir fler funktioner på samma antal enheter allt viktigare för att kunna utveckla små och energisnåla kretsar för allt bättre minnen och kraftfullare datorer. Forskare vid LTH har i två artiklar i Science Advances och Nature Communica

Merparten av de politiska partierna har för stort fokus, och en övertro, på tekniska lösningar, snarare än att förändra de beteenden och system som orsakar klimatkrisen. Med MP och V som undantag. Det visar en ny rapport framtagen av forskare som har analyserat riksdagspartiernas klimatpolitik inför valet 2022. Rapporten baseras på enkätsvar om respektive partis klimatpolitik.

Energisektorn är en av de sektorer där det både krävs en snabb och en långtgående omställning för att begränsa klimatförändringarnas effekter. Vilken betydelse har grundforskningen, som utforskar nya teorier och nya sätt att tänka, för att driva utvecklingen framåt? Solenergi har stor potential att kunna bli en av våra viktigaste energikällor. Energin i solstrålarna motsvarar mer än 15 000 gånger

Den senaste tiden har det i medierna debatterats huruvida löpning är skadligt för hjärtat eller inte. Vi har ställt frågan till Margrét Leósdóttir, forskare vid Lunds universitet och överläkare i kardiologi vid Skånes universitetssjukhus. Behöver man vara orolig för förmaksflimmer som löpare? Eller att drabbas av plötsligt hjärtstopp om man tränar hård löpning?– Som med all belastning på kroppen f

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group
