Stortorget, the main square in the centre of Malmö, has looked the same for the past 35 years or so but the way in which the city’s inhabitants use the space has changed. These changes provide a picture of the development of the city and community, from an industrial society to a society based on services and consumpt

Pollinators such as bees, bumblebees, and butterflies lack sufficient habitats, and the ones that do exist are often of inadequate quality. A new study conducted by researchers from more than 20 academic institutions – including CEC and the Department of Biology at Lund University – shows that these insects can benefit from increasing the area of their habitats significantly more than what is curr

Since the invasion of Ukraine, Central Asian migrant workers in Russia have seen fewer job opportunities and lower salaries. Among those trying their luck elsewhere, Turkey has become a popular alternative, especially for women. Sociologists of law Rustamjon Urinboyev and Sherzod Eraliev recently published a book comparing the everyday lives of labour migrants in Russia and Turkey. Central Asia -

For the first time, scientists have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University. This could provide a better understanding of fundamental research in the second generation of quantum revolution. When high-energy light with a very short wa

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a new, updated version of a global climate model that will increase understanding of global warming. Through the new model, one can now look at how land use and changes to vegetation can influence, and be influenced by, climate change. It is the first time th

Researchers at Lund University and Lund Stem Cell Center have generated human mini bones in the lab which mirror the composition and function of human bone. The results published in Science Translational Medicine detail this step toward the future development of patient-tailored, personalized models of bone cancers and tumors. On average, the adult body consists of 206 bones. Housed in the center

Why do humans and other mammals have two kidneys, but only one heart and one brain? “Because the kidneys are so important, of course!” says Diana Karpman – partly joking and partly serious. As a consultant and professor in nephrology, she really does think these organs are among the most essential in the body. Diana K

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made a new discovery about how the human genome protects itself from disruption during critical stages of life. Their study, recently published in Nature Communications, reveals how two key defense mechanisms—DNA methylation and the HUSH complex—work together to safeguard genomic stability. The human genome contains large stretches of rep

It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms.
