In several key welfare services, rural municipalities have even strengthened their position. The idea that rural communities are being abandoned by the public secto

What happens when you mix a group of tumor biology researchers with software developers and AI researchers? Hopefully, with the help of AI, they can connect a multitude of data that leads to new treatments for kidney cancer – that's at least what the researchers in the EU-project KATY envision.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows that ravens are as clever as chimpanzees, despite having much smaller brains, indicating that rather than the size of the brain, the neuronal density and the structure of the birds’ brains play an important role in terms of their intelligence. “Absolute bra

The past year has to a large extent been shaped by developments in the world around us. At this time last year, the government presented its Research and Innovation Bill, “Research and Innovation for the Future, Curiosity and Benefit”. The investments announced there triggered an intense period of work at the university, and many colleagues have had to set aside other tasks to respond to these ini

Jordbruket står för en tredjedel av utsläppen av växthusgaser och släpper ut stora halter av giftiga ämnen som påverkar hav och mark. Odlingen av ettåriga grödor som vete, ris och sojabönor är särskilt problematisk.Forskare är eniga om

Ett ”bokmärke” – i form av specifika proteiner – i cellens DNA, innebär att celler minns sin identitet efter celldelning. Mekanismen har tidigare visats i odlade celler. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu för första gången visat den avgörande betydelsen av denna mekanism i levande möss. Upptäckten, som publiceras i Nature Communications, är viktig för att förstå och påverka blodbildningsprocess

Endast en blygsam sänkning av mängden kolesterol i cellens vägg halverar kapaciteten för insulinfrisättning, visar forskare vid LUDC. Detta är ett betydelsefullt fynd eftersom i stort sett alla diabetiker, oavsett kolesterolnivå
