Can a new neighbourhood be a spearhead for sustainability if it has a huge shopping mall at its heart? And to what extent can urban planning influence the way people live in an area? In her thesis, Agenda 2030 doctoral student Alva Zalar has examined Hyllie in southern Malmö from a norm-critical perspective that interweaves architecture and queer theory. In the early 2000s, the city of Malmö decid

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Förutom minnessvårigheter och andra kognitiva symptom lider de flesta som drabbas av Alzheimers sjukdom också av psykiska besvär. Länge har det varit oklart om dessa uppstår på grund av vävnadsförändringarna i hjärnan, eller om de utgör psykologiska reaktioner till följd av de kognitiva symptomen. En studie vid Lunds universitet har gett nya insikter om de psykiska symptomens uppkomst vid Alzheime

EAT-Lancet-kosten är en modell för hur det globala livsmedelssystemet ska förhålla sig till planetens begränsningar samtidigt som folksjukdomar som typ 2-diabetes kan förebyggas. Men hur ska vi veta om dieten verkligen fungerar? Genom att studera sju kostindex har ett internationellt forskarlag funnit att två av dem är särskilt bra på att utvärdera följsamhet till kosten. Välfungerande kostindex b
