The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities.  Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu

Naturbaserade lösningar ger stora möjligheter att ta itu med miljö- och samhällsutmaningar. De kan bidra till att mildra klimatförändringar och skydda biologisk mångfald. Men för att införa fler sådana lösningar i Norden krävs bättre styrning och finansiering, kompletterat med tydliga politiska prioriteringar. Det visar en ny forskningsrapport från Nordiska ministerrådet, där forskare från Lunds u

Ofta kan en och samma handling ses som både ond och god. Allt beror på vilket perspektiv man har, offrets eller förövarens. Det menar Magnus Lindén, som i sin forskning inom psykologi bland annat intresserar sig för människans mörka sidor. – Jag menar att det inte går att tala om en människa som genuint ond. Inom social­psykologin tittar vi på vad människor gör och forskare är överens om att alla
