For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

The city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

Despite harsher sentences and increased resources for the criminal justice system, research shows nothing to indicate that this leads to reduced criminality. “We wanted to problematise the notion that punishment is the best option,” says Tova Bennet, researcher in Criminal Law at Lund University. Over the past 15 years, tougher sentencing has been a popular tool in Swedish law and order politics.
