The textile industry has a significant impact on the climate, and the reuse of clothing is seen as part of the sector’s sustainable transformation. Daniel Hellström and John Olsson from Lund University are now presenting their award-winning article on a circular business model that creates a more sustainable fashion retail sector. Beyond the business model itself, the work is also interesting beca

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Just nu undersöker två forskargrupper vid Pufendorfinstitutet hur en omställning av livsmedelssystemet kan gå till. En av grupperna fokuserar på ett proteinskifte, den andra på hur vi kan förnya jordbruket. – Vi vet att dagens livsmedelssystem är ohållbart och att vi behöver minska mängden protein som konsumeras i d

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, some shopping geographies had difficulties while others proved to be more resilient. Devrim Umut Aslan discusses what we can learn from these resilient places. A global pandemic hit the world, radically changing how shoppers shop and how they move around in cities. Sweden’s handling of the pandemic had been rather ‘relaxed’; it had not enforced any strict lock-downs

Det pågår ett ständigt krig mellan bakterier och deras virus, bakteriofager, där båda försöker överlista varandra. I en internationell studie som letts från Lunds universitet, har forskarna nu lyckats förstå grunderna i hur en av bakteriernas försvarsystem mot fagattackerna fungerar. Det är en viktig pusselbit för att få fram effektiva fagterapier som alternativ till antibiotika. Bakteriofager – o

Insekter är dåliga på att hantera klimatförändringens högre temperaturer. Risken är stor att de blir överhettade. Både överlevnaden och förmågan att reproducera sig påverkas kraftigt av ökande temperaturer även i områden högt uppe på norra halvklotet, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Insekter kan inte reglera sin egen kroppstemperatur, som istället starkt påverkas av temperaturen i den

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. För sex år sedan stod Lunds universitet värd för en EU-konferens som handlade om hur europeisk forskning ska ta sig an de stora samhällsutmaningarna. Konferensen utmynnade i den så kallade Lundadeklarationen. Nu möts närmare 200 deltagare från 30 olika länder vid Lunds universitet för att följa upp och revidera de m

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Rich in animals and plants, a refuge to calm anxiety, and a source of new energy. A place for recreation and cultivation. This is how residents of Rio de Janeiro’s largest favela describe their natural surroundings in interviews. It is a narrative seldom brought to the fore, and one that stands in stark contrast to th

Himlakroppen är osynlig men har ändå en stark påverkan på stjärnans bana. Med hjälp av datorsimuleringar utförda vid Lunds universitet kan forskarna nu slå fast att den mystiska följeslagaren måste vara ett svart hå

Med hjälp av avancerade mätinstrument på två olika teleskop i södra USA har ett forskarlag, med Lunds universitet i spetsen, lyckats lägga en viktig pusselbit för att förstå grundämnet ytterbiums tillkomst i Vintergatan.

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o
