Hur mäter vi ett lands utsläpp av koldioxid mest rättvisande? Genom hur mycket utsläpp produktionen ger upphov till inom landets gränser? Eller ska vi ta hänsyn även till utrikeshandeln på olika sätt? Ekonomihistorikern Astrid Kander från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet förespråkar att de nuvarande måtten kompletteras med egenutvecklade ”teknikjusterade klimatfotavtrycket” som även mäter ex

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone. In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, distr

This Regional Outlook focuses on the role of satellite imagery in shaping our understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the physical damage it has caused the landscape.  On 7 October 2023, Hamas carried out a large scale attack against Israel, causing over 1 000 fatalities, taking more than 200 hostages and firing thousands of rockets into Israeli territory. At the time of writing, Isr

A treatment that has reduced plaque development in mice 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. Cardiovascular res

Researchers from Lund University, led by Dr. Laurent Roybon, are working to further define underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy. Their latest discovery, published in PNAS, could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as these, as well as other synucleiopathies in the fu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In the gigantic particle accelerator known as the Large Hadron Collider, LHC, at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland and France, protons almost reach the speed of light before colliding with each other.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How does digital technology affect our work situation? Could data collected to measure our performance lead to old-fashioned micromanagement? Should higher education take after healthcare with regard to the boundary between work and spare time?

Leukemia stem cells have a clever survival strategy, they evade the body's immune defenses, making the disease difficult to treat. In a recent study in mice published in Haematologica, researchers at Lund University identified a gene that helps these cells avoid detection by natural killer (NK) cells—the immune system’s frontline defense. Each year in Sweden, around 350 adults are diagnosed with a

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered an antibody with the potential to protect against Strep A infection, as well as a rare form of antibody binding, that leads to an effective immune response against bacteria. The discovery could explain why so many Group A strep vaccines have failed. The results are published in EMBO Molecular medicine. Group A streptococci have several ways

Professor Lars Lind uses the EpiHealth cohort to investigate why people with diabetes have a higher risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases and how genetic factors can contribute to this. He is trying to map a diabetes profile to find mechanisms which can instigate the development of a therapy in the future. Lars works at the Department of Medical Sciences at Uppsala University and

The climate cannot handle the amount of animals we eat. There needs to be a protein shift, according to researcher Karolina Östbring who is involved in the Sustainability Week. Her vision is to create a platform for research on vegetable proteins at LU. Karolina Östberg  Photo: Kennet Ruona.

A new study on agricultural development in Uganda suggests that it is possible to influence policy without alienating the country's notoriously volatile authorities. The findings challenge assumptions about mobilisation under repression and offer lessons for groups seeking social change in politically restrictive environments.
