Att kunna förutse sjukdomar innan de utvecklas, har blivit lite grand som sökandet efter den heliga graalen. Med den skillnaden att forskningen har större chans att lyckas hitta vad de letar efter, än vad Kung Arturs riddare hade. Och det finns i många fall stora hälsovinster med att tidigt kunna förutse risken för sjukdom: det är bättre att förebygga än att behandla. Biomarkörer är spårämnen i bl

Efter Hamas attack i oktober 2023 har konflikten i Mellanöstern eskalerat. I juni 2025 gick Israel och USA till angrepp mot Iran, samtidigt som bombningarna av Gaza fortsätter. Vad säger folkrätten om detta – och var går gränsen för krigsbrott? Valentin Jeutner, docent i folkrätt vid Lunds universitet, reder ut. Den 7 oktober 2023 dödade Hamas över 1 200 civila israeler och tog fler än 200 persone

Skolgårdar är en underutnyttjad resurs som borde användas aktivt som ett svar på den pågående krisen för klimatet och den biologiska mångfalden, och för att stärka barns hälsa och lärande. Det menar tjugo forskare och pedagoger som i en ny kunskapssammanställning listar enkla åtgärder för att göra skolgårdar grönare – och samtidigt uppnå flera vinster för både klimatanpassning och artrikedom.

Återvinningsindustrin för metaller växer, inte minst genom nya metaller i elektroniska komponenter. Lundaforskare har undersökt inandningsluften på 13 återvinningsföretag i Sverige. Bland resultaten syns höga blyhalter och ett stort antal metaller i blodet hos dem som arbetar med återvinningen. Olika former av metaller ingår i, och är en förutsättning för, tillverkningen av de flesta produkter i d

Dagens universitet växte fram under medeltiden och har överlevt skiftande statsskick, ekonomiska system, krig och orostider. Men hur hållbart är universitetssystemet framöver? Historieprofessor Johan Östling ser stora förändringar framför oss och betonar att universiteten måste värna sin autonomi medan tid är. I dagens demokratier tar vi för givet att universiteten ska bidra till ett öppet samhäll
