A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that migratory birds fly at peak efficiency at a medium pace – precisely the speed they use during their long journeys across the continents. Now, at the end of the summer, when the thrush nightingales leave Europe for southern Africa, they do not fly at full speed. Instead they maintain an even pace – and according to a new study from Lund Universi

It is now possible to test chemicals and makeup without using products isolated from animals. Researchers from Lund have developed a completely animal-free preparation for cell culture, a medium that can be used to grow human cells, including for cancer research. They believe this is a much sought-after breakthrough, as it solves an ethical dilemma, leads to higher scientific accuracy and thus sav

Last year was the warmest year on record and 2024 is on track to be even warmer. Democracy is in decline and food insecurity is increasing as a result of military conflicts, economic crises and extreme weather. The ability of the United Nations to act globally is significantly weaker than before owing to the geopolitical situation. This comes at a time when we really need international cooperation

Ludwig Schmiderer has studied how to overcome delivery challenges in stem cell biology with nanotechnology. In this interview, he tells us about his research and generative art. What have you been working with during your PhD studies? At the beginning of my PhD, I was trying to reengineer the CRISPR/Cas9 system to make it work in mitochondria instead of nucleus. The project started off quite well

During the unusually dry year of 2018, Sweden was hit by numerous forest fires. A research team led from Lund University in Sweden has investigated how climate change affects recently burnt boreal forests and their ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The boreal forests form a single biome that spans the entire Northern Hemisphere. These forests play a key role in the global climate system by absorbi

There is still much we don’t know about the tiny plastic particles thought to be all around us. In a new study, Tommy Cedervall and his research group show that the rate of degradation may be faster for nanoplastics than for larger plastic debris. The reason is that UV radiation plays a role in the degradation process, and the radiation seems to have a greater effect on smaller particles. “This is

I en stor internationell undersökning, i huvudsak dansk, fann forskarna ett samband mellan mammans intag av gluten under graviditeten och barnets framtida risk att insjukna i typ 1 diabetes. Sambandet var starkt och risken ökade proportionellt – ju mer gluten kvinnan hade ätit, desto större diabetesrisk. Drygt 67 00
