Forskare vid Lunds universitet och DTU i Köpenhamn har upptäckt enzymer i tjocktarmen som, när de blandas med röda blodkroppar, kan klippa bort delar av de kolhydrater som skiljer våra ABO-blodgrupper från varandra. Metoden tar oss närmare drömmen om ett universalblod för alla. Sedan länge är det känt att blod från olika individer inte kan blandas hur som helst utan risk för allvarliga konsekvense

It has been a year since an extensive Research and Innovation Bill was introduced. The Ministry of Education, research funding bodies and higher education institutions are still busy converting it and its initiatives into action. Perhaps this is why the autumn’s budget bill now feels a little thin on ideas and forward-thinking in those parts relating to our sector. In addition, the Government has

Unfair, ineffective, and inefficient. These are some of the moral objections to increasing fuel prices in Sweden. A new study from Lund University identifies how social movements are resisting green transition policies through moral reasoning and argues that their concerns must be both recognised and responded to, in order to achieve a low-carbon future. – If politicians want different climate pol
