Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Varje år dör flera tusen personer i förtid i Sverige till följd av luftföroreningar och det finns tydliga bevis för att människor som bor i områden med sämre luft har högre dödlighet. Forskare har räknat på vad som händer om man tar bort avgaser från bensin- och dieseldrivna fordon i Malmö och vilka effekter det ger

Researchers at Lund University have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish Envir

Olof the bird – a stuffed bird of prey with a stern expression – currently stands in the heart of The Science Student Union (LUNA), keeping watch over students’ discussions and union activities. But few are eager to get too close. A sign next to him warns that his plumage contains arsenic.  The warning has become a talking point – is Olof really so toxic that he should be placed behind protective

Do you have a lot of ideas but nobody and no time to pursue them? Do as Nicole van Der Burg and get an intern through Jobbsprånget ("job leap"). Why did you apply to Jobbsprånget?– As a small lab we have a lot of big ideas with hardly any free time to pursue them, especially with patients sample collection taking up half our week. We knew that if we had a little more time to get some preliminary d

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. The human population is growing, while our ecological footprint needs to become much lower in order to redu

Two researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center receive grants, 61 million, for research into immunological long-term memory and reprogramming of tumor cells. The research should lead to more effective vaccination strategies and immunotherapies. The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has granted SEK 835 million to 30 different projects in medicine, natural science and technology that are deemed to have

We have spoken with two specialist physiotherapists who are experts in "osteoarthritis school" (Swedish: artrosskola). Many people turn to us to ask what osteoarthritis school is, how it works, and where they can sign up. We hope to answer some of the most common questions about it. Elin Östlind is a specialist physiotherapist in orthopedics and works at a healthcare center. Elin has worked in pri

During the pandemic, reports of cheating rose dramatically – by over 100 per cent. The response to this development saw the launch of the pilot project “Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” (Prevent disciplinary offences) which was intended to strengthen the capacity of learning environments to prevent cheating and produce routines and materials for the work going forward. The reason for the increas

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. After climate change, biodiversity loss is the biggest environmental challenge facing the world today. The loss of plant and animal species also means a loss of the resources that humans obtain from well-functioning ecosystems.

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa
