Africa, despite its large area and thus large impact on the global carbon cycle, is relatively unexplored with respect to ecosystem functions and impact on climate change. Now one of few in situ studies over a long period of time, 2010-2022, shows that the Sahel area has lost a lot of its power as a carbon sink during the time period examined. Africa, despite its large area and thus large impact o

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A researcher from Lund University in Sweden has managed to install a huge curtain in a remote cloud forest in South America. The aim is to study how these valuable forests are affected if clouds are elevated due to global warming. The world’s cloud forests are facing the threat of rapid climate change, as global warmi

In 2017, the European Research Council (ERC) adopted a new approach to making research accessible to a broader audience – creating cartoons. Malin Parmar, a professor of cellular neuroscience at Lund University and recipient of an ERC grant, is one of the Swedish researchers whose research formed the basis for an ERCcOMICS cartoon. The last episode in a series of ten has now been published. A Cell

A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across eight European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done. Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-targe

On 1 January 2020, a new law will come into force that means that cases concerning research misconduct are to be forwarded to a new national board exclusively dedicated to this. At Lund University, this will involve two or three current cases that will not be finalised in time.  "The purpose of the act is good, however, the allocation of responsibilities between the new board and ourselves is unfo

New advanced therapies can alleviate or cure chronic diseases. But medical progress raises the question of how rights should be protected and balanced, according to Jessica Almqvist, professor in international law and human rights, who conducts research on gene therapies. With advanced therapies, doctors can treat or prevent serious diseases. Gene therapies are tailor-made and individualised. The

I vissa situationer används den och i andra används den inte. Vi tar en titt på den akademiska kvartens bruk på Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds Universitet idag och gör även en kort historisk återblick. Den klassiska förklaringen är att studenter förr i tiden inte nödvändigtvis ägde egna klockor och därför fick lita på kyrkklockorna för att veta vad klockan var.

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

Övervikt hos barn går att förebygga, och ju tidigare man börjar desto bättre. Det visar Mariette Derwig i sitt avhandlingsarbete i vilket hon utvecklat en samtalsmodell att använda inom barnhälsovården för att förebygga övervikt och främja sunda levnadsvanor. Drygt 6000 fyraåringar och deras föräldrar på 35 barnhälsovårdsenheter i Skåne har deltagit i studien. Barnobesitas, barnfetma, är sedan fle
