Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate. When the Swedish military began collecting air samples in the 1960s to re

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. "Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS.  He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on

In a recent study, a group of geology researchers at Lund University unveiled three newly discovered species of conodonts, a type of jawless ancient fish. One of the species has been named Drepanoistodus iommii - a tribute to Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. About 470 million years ago, eel-like fish swam around in the Baltoscandian basin - a shallow sea that covered parts of present-day Scandi

With nanowires working as small solar radiation-collecting antennas, a new type of solar cell was sent into space a few days ago. By using three different materials they are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are powered

Han Somsen has newly been appointed professor in environmental law at the Faculty of Law. He is best known for his recommendation that bird-killing cats should be kept indoors. “Humans see themselves as the kings of the hill, which extends to their cats. If you question this, many people get very angry. I got death threats,” says Han Somsen. Han Somsen’s latest position was as professor at Tilburg
