Continuous-cover forestry methods are gaining attention as a way to enable forests to deliver a broader range of benefits. The aim is to make forestry more sustainable, but significant challenges remain. These will now be addressed in a new project where five organisations are testing continuous-cover forestry in practice. In Bockeboda, just outside Kristianstad, the future of continuous-cover for

A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler

For Marcus Ascard, the interest in artificial intelligence (AI) started in his early studies – he was fascinated by how a computer could play a computer game by itself. Today, the engineering student has gained working experience in artificial intelligence from two different companies, and pictures a future career within AI.

Why are certain people more severely affected than others by invasive streptococcal infections? According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, the answer lies in our genome. Carriers of a certain variant of the STING gene are at greater risk, particularly if they encounter the bacterial strains that have increased in the western world since the 1980s. The findings, published in Nature Co

Sometimes healthcare professionals treat patients with opioids such as morphine to relieve symptoms, but there has been a lack of evidence as to whether this helps with severe chronic breathlessness. A randomised Phase 3 study conducted by Swedish and Australian researchers now finds that morphine does not reduce worst breathlessness. The study is published in JAMA.
