With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light. For example, one application could be converting carbon dioxide into fuel. The sunlight that hits Earth for one hour is almost equiva

Ten years have passed since the countries of the world signed the Paris Agreement. Political scientist Fariborz Zelli sums up the surprises – both positive and negative – in climate policy over the past ten years and also looks ahead. What has been the biggest success of the Paris Agreement so far?I would say the biggest success is that the UN has succeeded in keeping its central role in global cl

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a new marker in the blood that is associated with an increased risk of heart failure. Surprisingly, the marker is not directly involved in how the heart functions, unlike most of the previously known markers. Instead, the new marker affects processes in the lymphatic system. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump a suff

A major breakthrough in the development of stem cell-derived brain cells has put researchers on a firm path towards the first ever stem cell transplantations in people with Parkinson’s disease. A new study presents the next generation of transplantable dopamine neurons produced from stem cells. These cells carry the same properties as the dopamine neurons found in the human brain.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Hospitals should design premises and adapt their infection control routines to a society that no longer has effective antibiotics, and that is vulnerable to fast-spreading global pandemics. This is argued in a new dissertation from Lund University in Sweden. “Many hospitals in Sweden and the world are becoming old and

3D-mammography reduces the number of breast cancer cases diagnosed in the period between routine screenings, when compared with traditional mammography, according to a large study from Lund University in Sweden. The results are published in the journal Radiology. “Our results indicate that 3D-mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis, possibly detects cancers that would otherwise have been diag

The fight against COVID-19 continues. In Lund, researchers are working to identify a compound that could be used to prevent viral infection, and thus save lives. “This model that has been developed with our collaborators will fill an important gap for current and future drug screening efforts for the upper or lower airways using human airway cells”, says Sinem Tas, associate researcher.
