Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

En observationsstudie från Lunds universitet som undersökt sockerkonsumtion, har fått stor nationell och internationell uppmärksamhet. Studien visar att sötade drycker har större negativ inverkan på hälsan än andra sockerkällor.

Vi måste prioritera naturen även om det finns andra motstridiga intressen – den biologiska mångfalden är viktig för alla på planeten och avgörande för människors hälsa och välfärd.

Hur vi känner inför naturen påverkar vilka trädgårdsinsatser vi väljer och hur mycket de faktiskt hjälper pollinatörer. I en ny studie från Lunds universitet blir sambandet extra tydligt mot bakgrund av samhällets omfattande urbanisering, där både gröna ytor och människors praktiska naturkontakt minskar.
