Studier från Lunds universitet pekar på att floran i Skåne förändrats drastiskt under 1900-talet och fram till idag. Den största minskningen av artrikedomen kan ses i skogsbygderna i norra och mellersta delarna av Skåne. – Jag blev förvånad av att det är klimatförändringen som har påverkat mest, säger forskaren Torbjörn Tyler vid Lunds universitet. Forskarnas studie baseras på inventeringar av ört

Överfiske, jakt och intensivt jord- och skogsbruk är exempel på några aktiviteter som i en del fall bidragit till att växter och djur reducerats kraftigt och på vissa håll utrotats. Ny forskning visar varför aktiviteter av det slaget kan leda till att hela populationer blir mindre till storleken och att de tvingas börja reproducera sig allt tidigare. Det är forskare från Lund och Toronto som står

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

During the fetal stage, a number of so-called cell programs run that are vital to the development of the fetus. In a study published in Cell Reports, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University demonstrate that one of these fetal programs appears to protect against acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). “We have used an experimental mouse model that always results in this type of leukaemia.

A new study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for cancer in the lymphatic system, or lymphoma. Now, the researchers underline the need for more research on the topic. Our knowledge regarding the long-term health effects of tattoos is currently poor, and there is not a lot of research within this area. Now a research group at Lund University has investigate

Archaeologist Greer Jarrett’s research focuses on reconstructing Viking sailing routes and cartography. To do so, he learnt to sail boats similar to those sailed by the Vikings and set off out to sea. He likens the sailors of that time to today’s extreme athletes. “I started a fairly theoretical doctoral thesis on reconstructing Viking sailing routes, but I wanted practical experience from a sailo

Innebörden av ordet otrygghet har förändrats betydligt i Sverige. När det amerikanska forskningsfältet "Fear of Crime" introducerades i Sverige under 1980-talet översattes det till "otrygghet". Från att ha tidigare använts för att beskriva materiell ojämnhet och bristande förutsägbarhet, kom "otrygghet" nu att associeras till brott och våld. Hanna Sahlin Liljas avhandling beskriver trygghetsforskn
