The virus winter season has struck – and COVID-19 is still part of everyday life. However, unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how it spreads through the air we breathe. Research from Lund University in Sweden shows that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers mapped the infectiousness of the virus in some forty

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Plants in tropical dry areas have developed an unusual strategy for survival. Instead of using their water supply during the dry season, they hold on to the last drops until the very end in order to quickly get started on photosynthesis as soon as the rainy season has begun. Using satellite technology, researchers hav

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

Genom analys av övervakningsdata har ett forskarlag studerat hur de senaste 40 årens klimatförändringar påverkat 1 500 djur- och växtarter i Finland. Det visade sig att stigande temperaturer och kortvarigare snötäcke under vintrarna har fått hundratals arter att anpassa sig till nya klimatförhållanden, varav vissa har flyttat norrut. Finland är känt för sitt omfattande övervakningsprogram för fågl

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. De senaste 20 åren har allt fler barn med låg genetisk risk insjuknat i typ 1 diabetes. En orsak kan vara att övervikt blivit allt vanligare bland barn och unga.
