When in life we gain weight can have a significant impact on our health many years later. In a study involving over 600,000 people, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated how changes in weight between the ages of 17 and 60 are linked to the risk of dying from various diseases. The results show a clear pattern: weight gain early in adulthood has the greatest impact. It has long

It was not an entirely uncontroversial decision to gather cancer researchers in the abandoned AstraZeneca premises ten years ago. Carl Borrebaeck was pro vice-chancellor at the time and pushed for the move which in itself cost SEK 50 million in central university funds. “I was not very popular with the deans at that time,” he says. “But now it turns out that Medicon Village is a great success and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Recently, the EU parliament’s environmental committee proposed that crop-based biofuels should not be considered renewable, which would affect Sweden’s strategy for achieving a fossil-free transport fleet, among other things. According to two researchers from LUCSUS, it is a good thing that the EU is reviewing the leg

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Emissions of greenhouse gases have a warming effect on the climate, whereas small airborne particles in the atmosphere, aerosols, act as a cooling mechanism. That is the received wisdom in any case. However, new research from Lund University in Sweden can now show that the tiniest aerosols are increasing at the expens

I en studie av barn som fötts efter mindre än 24 graviditetsveckor visade sig nästan alla (96 procent) ha någon av de diagnoser som studerades. Studien, ett nationellt samarbete som letts från Göteborgs universitet, visar att både neuropsykiatriska och somatiska diagnoser är mycket vanliga bland dessa barn. Resultaten publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Acta Paediatrica. Studien är baserad

Understanding that others hold different viewpoints from your own is essential for human sociality. Adopting another person’s visual perspective is a complex skill that emerges around the age of two. A new study from Lund University in Sweden, published in Science Advances, suggests that this ability first arose in dinosaurs, at least 60 million years before it appeared in mammals. These findings
