New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previous research by diabetes researcher Rashmi Prasad has sh

On the first day of the COP28 climate change conference in Dubai, a formal decision was taken to establish a loss and damage fund to support developing countries to deal with loss and damage from climate change. A pragmatic success for climate justice, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd, who now hopes that Sweden will follow suit with promises of financial support. Emily Boyd, director and p

Men with severely reduced fertility are at greater risk of developing other health conditions later in life. A research team from Lund University in Sweden has now shown that these men are also more likely to develop colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer. The link between male infertility and an increased risk of disease is a relatively new area of research in reproductive health. Previous studies

Dense urban areas amplify the effects of higher temperatures, due to the phenomenon of heat islands in cities. This makes cities more vulnerable to extreme climate events. Large investments in the electricity network will be necessary to cool us down during heatwaves and keep us warm during cold snaps, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. “Unless we account for extreme climat

In a unique study carried out in drinking water pipes in Sweden, researchers from Lund University and the local water company tested what would happen if chlorine was omitted from drinking water. The result? An increase in bacteria, of course, but after a while something surprising happened: a harmless predatory bacteria grew in numbers and ate most of the other bacteria. The study suggests that c

Local currencies may arise when there is a clear need for certain products and services in a local area and where the competences to produce them exist but the lack of traditional money puts obstacles in the way. The lack of money might be the result of pandemics, war, natural disasters, financial crises or poverty. Ester Barinaga, professor of entrepreneurship at the School of Economics and Manag

Elite ice hockey players with a history of concussion report heightened mental health symptoms, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. In addition, one in five female hockey players suffered symptoms of burnout, and both sexes reported an alcohol consumption at a risk-level.

Most women will experience menopause at some point in their working lives. How can a workplace be set up to make things easier for employees going through their menopausal transition? A pilot project at Lund University is investigating the issue. Sweating, mood swings and poor sleep. Many women are adversely affected by menopause.

Gases used in anaesthesia are potent greenhouse gases, and their total global impact has not previously been known. A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows that greenhouse gas emissions from anaesthetic gases have decreased by 27% over the last ten years. By swapping out the anaesthetic gas with the highest climate impact, the climate impact of anaesthetic gas

For over 60 years, scientists have tried to determine whether plants are pollinated primarily during the day or at night — without reaching a clear conclusion. Now, a major research review from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that nighttime pollinators play just as significant a role as daytime species in 90 percent of the cases studied. Most of us know how important bees, birds, and butter

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea
