There is an urgent need for agriculture to drastically reduce its negative environmental impacts, while at the same time responding to increasing demand and adapting to a changing climate. For this to be possible, radical change in how we grow our major staple crops is essential. From the 6th through the 10th of May, about 90 specially invited researchers from around the world will meet in Lund to

 A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across 8 European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done.Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-target or

How does migration and globalisation shape the lives of individuals in various countries and how does it affect the children of immigrants in terms of integration, identity, and cultural expressions? Do they themselves use the word integration? These questions occupy sociologist Dalia Abdelhady who is about to conclude a study of three populations in the US, in France and in Germany, based on thei

The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities.  Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu

In an international collaboration led by Lund University in Sweden, researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes. The technique shows the 3D-structure of nerve fibers in very high resolution. “This knowledge can be used to map mechanisms for how nerve fibers atrophy and grow back. It means that we can better understand how diabetes affects the nerves in t

Mutor är ett ständigt aktuellt ämne, nu senast på Vägverket där statliga tjänstemän i flera år plockat upp prylar och pengar från entreprenörer längs vägarna. Frågan är om mutorna ökar i Sverige och var gränsen mellan gåvor och mutor går – inte bara juridiskt utan även socialt och kulturellt. Sociologerna Malin Åkerström och David Wästerfors forskar om mutor och gåvor. Mutor verkar bli vanligare o

Höga halter av miljögifterna PCB och DDT ökar kraftigt risken för typ 2 diabetes, visar en undersökning på kvinnor i övre medelåldern. Trots att PCB och DDT förbjöds i Sverige under 1970-talet har många vuxna fortfarande kvar miljögifterna i sitt blod. Orsaken är att de har lång nedbrytningstid och att de anrikas uppåt i matkedjanDe högsta halterna finns hos rovdjur som äter andra djur vilka har u

Våra dendritiska celler (DC) är immunsystemets vaktposter och de patrullerar våra kroppar efter bakterier, virus eller cancerceller. När DC hittar en främmande partikel bryter de ner den i mindre bitar – antigen - och presenterar bitarna på cellytan för immunförsvarets mördarceller. På så vis lär sig mördarcellerna vilka smittoämnen och cancerceller som de ska söka upp och döda. I flera studier ha
