The increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing our climate to warm at an alarming rate. The consequent changes are unprecedented, and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the Earth system.  While we know that half of the carbon emissions released to the atmosphere by fossil fuel usage are re-captured by the ocean and land ecosystems, we still lack knowledge when i

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA. In total, 6 600 children at increased risk of developing coeliac disease were f

The new Global Biodiversity Framework is seen as an important step towards addressing the nature crisis, not least the ambitious goal to restore, protect and conserve 30 per cent of land and 30 per cent of the water globally by 2030.  Mine Islar, senior lecturer at LUCSUS, and coordinating lead author of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), shares her refl

As one of five locations in Sweden, Lund is receiving support from Formas to start a lab for urban development issues. The Lund Urban Transition Lab will be located in the innovation district in northeast Lund, where sustainable solutions in the built environment, mobility and urban planning will be developed and tested. How can sustainable urban development become a natural part of the cities of

It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the word. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and the University of Queensland in Australia have mapped what little is known about how climate change is eroding local knowledge and cultural heritage. “We risk losing the memory of Indigenous people’s ways of life witho

A lot of us recycle our old textiles, but few of us know that they are very difficult to re-use, and often end up in landfills anyway. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a method that converts cotton into sugar, that in turn can be turned into spandex, nylon or ethanol. WATCH: New method transforms old cotton into glucose Every year, an estimated 25 million tonnes of cott

A sudden bang. The hand grenade has caused me severe shrapnel injuries: a punctured lung, my liver is bleeding and the wound on my leg is causing rapid blood loss. The medics decide that this requires an intervention from the trauma squad. I am loaded onto a stretcher and driven to the surgery tent. It is Monday morning, and the Aurora 23 military exercise is in full swing in southern Sweden. I am

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear
