A large amount of lungs donated cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital have conducted an animal study bringing hope that more donor lungs could be used in the future. The researchers have launched a pilot study to investigate whether the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 190 organs are donated in

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more reputable the scientific journal, the more expensive it will be to publish an article with Open Access. Research publishers are riding the gravy train, but for the individual researcher the cost often comes as an unpleasant surprise, after they have spent all of their funding.

Humans and animals are not the only ones affected by viruses. Unicellular organisms can also be attacked. In a new study, scientists establish that green algae can carry latent giant virus DNA in their genome. Biology researchers at Lund University in Sweden have spent several years studying microorganisms isolated from Lake Krageholm in Skåne and Lake Örsjön in Småland. During the most recent ele

Scientists have long tried to understand the connection between osteoarthritis, our most common joint disease, and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and high blood pressure. Previously, it was believed that osteoarthritis simply increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to reduced physical activity due to joint pain and obesity. But new findings suggest that something much deepe

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared how much energy bats use when flying, depending on whether they have large or small ears. Large ears increase air resistance, meaning that long-eared bats are forced to expend more energy than species with small ears. On the plus side, large ears generate more lif

Even though awareness of climate change is growing, it is not primarily environmental concern that drives consumers to choose plant-based foods — it’s the price tag. A new literature review from AgriFood Economics Centre and the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) shows that price plays a decisive role when consumers opt for plant-based rather than animal-based products.
