I and many others are ambivalent when it comes to the ranking of the world’s universities. But Lund University has made the ranking lists and that does have an impact, at the very least for international marketing purposes. We must be active, rather than passive, in relation to the ranking bodies. Small margins can make a university climb or tumble down the lists, so there is a need to be modest w

Threats and hate speech from outside are certainly very trying. But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else? The vice dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Jimmie Kristensson, has dedicated a great deal of energy to m

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

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

Köttbullar med rödbetsblastspulver eller falukorv med torkade havtornsblad? Sådana här charkprodukter, ”laddade” med olika typer av antioxidant-rika rester från grönsaksodlingar, kan komma att hamna i mataffärernas kyldiskar. Labbtester visar att vissa antioxidanter helt eliminerade den skadliga oxidationen som forskare tror ligger bakom cancer- och hälsoriskerna med processat kött. Men alla var i
