En uppföljningsstudie av unga svenska män som dömts till fängelse för vålds- eller sexbrott, målar en tydlig bild: de flesta återfaller i brott gång på gång – i snitt över 30 brott innan de hunnit fylla 30. Nu publiceras forskningsresultat som även visar att en historia av allvarlig psykisk sjukdom ökar risken för att återfalla i kriminalitet. – Det här är personer som behöver få både tidigare och

LUND SPRING SYMPOSIUM – När Katherine A. High började arbeta med genterapi var fältet nytt, lovande – och fyllt av osäkerhet. Hennes forskning har lett till behandlingar som förändrat livet för patienter med ärftliga sjukdomar. Men vägen dit var allt annat än enkel. När Katherine A. High klev in i genterapins värld var konceptet mer teoretiskt än praktiskt. Hon minns de tidigaste försöken i fältet

Det har gått ett decennium sedan världens länder skrev under Parisavtalet. Statsvetaren Fariborz Zelli summerar vad som överraskat – både positivt och negativt – i klimatpolitiken under de senaste tio åren och blickar även framåt. Vilken har varit den största framgången med Parisavtalet hittills?– Jag skulle nog säga att den största framgången är att FN lyckats behålla sin centrala roll i det glob

The city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

Site-selected crystal material synthesis at the atomic scale has been a long-standing challenge. NanoLundians Rainer Timm and Yi Liu use nanowire crystal phase heterostructures as templates for self-selective growth of one- and two-dimensional GaBi nanostructures, which allows a versatile design with atomic-scale precision. Scaling down material synthesis to crystalline structures only a few atoms

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

A treatment that has reduced plaque development in animals has now been tested in people with psoriasis. Jan Nilsson at Lund University is one of the researchers behind the clinical study that showed a reduced inflammation of the coronary arteries, which in turn may reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack. People with diabetes may also benefit from the treatment in the future. Short facts abo

The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable
