Increasing attention is being paid to the impact of honey bees on wild bees. In a new report from Lund University in Sweden, researchers observed that honey bees compete with wild bees for flower resources, and that more research and knowledge are needed to create the conditions for coexistence between bee-keeping and the conservation of wild bees in Sweden over the long term. In recent years, the

This year Lund Stem Cell Center and MultiPark, two strategic research areas based at Lund University, are happy to launch a new joint technical platform in an effort to ensure easy access to high quality core electrophysiology techniques and expert knowledge for investigating cells and tissues that exhibit electrical properties. In 2009, the Swedish government decided to invest in strategic resear
New research results and methods by Abdulhakim Abdi, a researcher at the Department for Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo), are increasing knowledge about tree species in Sweden’s forests. Forests play a crucial role in Sweden’s economy, biodiversity, and climate system, and carry tremendous cultural values, so knowing which tree species grow where is important for managing them sustainably.

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that
