For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defence mechanism in aggressive brain tumours: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumour cells and protects them against a particularly destructive form of cell death. Aggressive brain tumours grow in an extreme environment characterised by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, low pH and chronic cellular stress. Insid

Each year approximately four thousand people in Sweden are diagnosed with lung cancer and nearly as many die each year from the disease. It is the fifth most common form of cancer in Sweden and the one which claims the most victims. At Lund University researchers are working on finding new methods to diagnose and treat the disease. Despite the fact that lung cancer is such a large-scale problem th

In a new study, Lund University economic historian Erik Bengtsson debunks the myth that Sweden was destined to become a social democratic country. Instead, he argues that it was actually against all odds, as Sweden in the early 1900s was one of the western world’s most unequal countries – and the least democratic in w

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct
