Vi kommer väl alla ihåg de stökiga killarna i klassen. De som snattade, slogs på rasterna och började röka tidigt. En del av dessa var helt enkelt normalt trotsiga och lever nu ett bra och lugnt liv som vuxna. Men för några få var det tidiga varningstecken på risk­beteende som sedan ledde vidare till ett liv präglat av kriminalitet. Nästan alla tonåringar har en tendens att bryta mot regler och no

Personer med typ 2-diabetes har ökad risk för hjärt-kärlsjukdomar och förtida död till följd av åderförfettning och forskare söker efter förklaringar till detta. Ett forskarlag vid Lunds universitet har nu identifierat molekylära mekanismer som kan förklara den ökade risken. Deras upptäckt kan leda till mer träffsäkra behandlingar mot åderförfettning i samband med typ 2-diabetes Individer med typ

Ingen tycker om klimatförändringar, föroreningar och den allmänna förstörelsen av vår planet, men varför är det då så svårt att göra en genuint hållbar framtid önskvärd? Carys Egan-Wyer och Jon Bertilsson har studerat klimatomställningen ur ett marknadsföringsperspektiv och anser att det är hög tid att deras forskningsområde tar på sig en större roll på vägen till ett hållbart samhälle.– Marknadsf

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

A new research article from the project DICE, Recasting the Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change Extremes, frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of society's ability to maintain a sustainable development. Chad Boda, researcher at LUCSUS, explains how this framing opens up discussions on what should be sustained, and how. It also highlights how different theories of sustai

A new collaborative research project led by researchers Torsten Krause and Barbara Schröter will investigate the global value chains of cattle (meat / leather), gold, tin and palm oil - commodities that are all imported to the European market, and originally produced in Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia. What is the project about? The project EPICC: Environmental Policy Instruments across Commodity C

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

This year's prestigious Segerfalk lecture will be given by Eero Castrén, Research Director at the Neuroscience Centre at the University of Helsinki. In his research on brain plasticity, he has discovered clues about which mechanisms in the brain are affected by antidepressants – and they could explain why these medicines work. Eero Castrén conducts research on brain plasticity and is primarily int

The national 7T MR facility is one of about 100 similar ultra-high field MR scanners for human use in the world. The facility recently underwent a major state-of-the-art upgrade that will ensure that the facility remains at the forefront of ultra-high field MR research, enabling ground-breaking studies across a wide range of fields. Thus, as the national 7T MR facility celebrates its 10-year anniv

LUCSUS Professor Christine Wamsler recently visited Australia to give the prestigious Dean’s lecture at the Melbourne School of Design (MSD). She was also invited to meet with researchers, practitioners and policy-makers in order to stimulate their work and open up a wider debate on urban adaptation and resilience. - Supporting sustainability and resilience is one of the three focus areas of the U

In its largest investment yet, Cancerfonden, the Swedish Cancer Society, has announced its 2025 funding decisions, awarding SEK 1 billion SEK to strengthen cancer research across Sweden. Lund University received SEK 144.8 million, including SEK 50 million for projects led by ten researchers affiliated with the Lund Stem Cell Center. Among this year’s awardees is Dr. Sandra Lindstedt, senior consul

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther

"Now I dare to rejoice a little", says Sven Lidin, dean of the Faculty of Science. "The uphill task that establishment in Brunnshög had become at times is now much easier, as the whole Department of Chemistry has agreed to join in the move." Another person breathing a sigh of relief is Leif Bülow, who is in his fourth year as head of the department. These years have been marked by extensive discus

USA har infört importtullar på stål och aluminium. Frågan är vad detta kan få för effekter på världsekonomin och för exportberoende länder som Sverige. Nationalekonomerna Karin Olofsdotter och Maria Persson ger sin syn på de konsekvenser som vi kan vänta oss framöver. Beslutet innebär att president Donald Trump beslutat att införa en global tull på 25 procent för all stålimport och 10 procent på a

Högt blodtryck skadar våra blodkärl. Det skadar också vårt hjärta, vår hjärna och våra njurar. Ett högt blodtryck ökar också risken att drabbas av hjärtinfarkt och stroke. Exakt varför högt blodtryck är farligt vet man dock inte. – Skälet till det är att vi länge haft effektiva blodtryckssänkande mediciner, och då har det inte betraktats som angeläget att ta reda på hur skadorna på blodkärlen upps

"Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS.  He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on the lookout for integrated, holistic, solutions that can move beyond the siloes

3000-6000 miljarder kronor. Så mycket subventioneras fossila bränslen globalt årligen. Förnybart får långt mindre än hälften. Jakob Skovgaard, statsvetare och expert på klimatskadliga subventioner, har koll på hur länder bör agera för att kunna dra ner på stödet till fossil energi. – Få känner till det här. Många tror till och med att det är tvärtom, att förnybart får så mycket stöd medan fossil e

Ibland får diabetespatienten fel diagnos och med det fel behandling. Istället för den ovanliga diabetesformen MODY blir det typ 1 eller typ 2 diabetes. Här följer ett referat av en föreläsning professor Andrew Hattersley, en av världens främsta experter på MODY-diabetes, gav tidigare i år. Andrew Hattersleys forskning och kliniska studier av personer med monogen diabetes har avsevärt ökat förståel
