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

Levande skogar med olika växter och djur, skogar i vilka man kan vandra, jaga eller plocka bär och svamp – kommer de att finnas kvar när trycket på skogsproduktionen ökar? Går det att öka produktionen på ett hållbart sätt, utan att möjligheterna att nå miljö- och hållbarhetsmålen minskar? Stora förhoppningar ställs idag på att skogen ska ge oss de råvaror som behövs för att vi ska ställa om till e

Nu kommer barn i förskolan och grundskolan kunna lära sig mer om insekter, fåglar, blommor och växter, hur värdefulla de är och hur vi människor kan värna om naturen. Det är samarbetsprojektet Natural Nations som för in biologisk mångfald på schemat. Förr i tiden var kännedom om arter och naturen en del av allmänbildningen och kunskaper överfördes också mellan generationer. Idag talas det om artbl

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt att mängden av ett mikroRNA är förhöjt vid typ 2-diabetes och påverkar utsöndringen av insulin negativt. Deras försök på mänskliga insulinproducerade celler i bukspottskörteln visar även att det går att öka insulinutsöndringen genom att minska mängden av detta mikroRNA. Målsättningen är att forskningen ska leda till nya behandlingar för personer med sjuk

Lund Stem Cell Center researchers from Lund University and Skåne University Hospital have uncovered a way to impair the growth and progression of glioblastoma tumor cells - the most aggressive form of brain cancer. The study, published in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, shows it is possible to transform these cancer cells into cells that resemble normal, mature astrocytes. Nearly half of all cancer

How we feel about nature affects the gardening choices we make and how much those choices benefit pollinators. A new study from Lund University highlights this connection, particularly in the context of widespread urbanisation, which is reducing both green spaces and people’s contact with nature. The researchers also show that for pollinators in cities, gardens with plantings kept over many years
