However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

A sudden bang. The hand grenade has caused me severe shrapnel injuries: a punctured lung, my liver is bleeding and the wound on my leg is causing rapid blood loss. The medics decide that this requires an intervention from the trauma squad. I am loaded onto a stretcher and driven to the surgery tent. It is Monday morning, and the Aurora 23 military exercise is in full swing in southern Sweden. I am

The new Global Biodiversity Framework is seen as an important step towards addressing the nature crisis, not least the ambitious goal to restore, protect and conserve 30 per cent of land and 30 per cent of the water globally by 2030.

Den svenska skattepolitiken leder till minskad välfärd, tappad internationell konkurrenskraft och ökade samhällsklyftor. Det anser de flesta nationalekonomer, däribland skatteforskaren Åsa Hansson som menar att det är hög tid för en skattereform. ”På sikt skulle alla vinna på det ”, säger hon. De senaste decennierna har skatter på fastigheter, konsumtion och visst kapital successivt minskat samtid

Våra knappt två kilo tarmbakterier tycks spela en ännu större roll än vad hittills varit känt. Bakterierna fungerar som både humörorgan och kommunikationscentral. Tarmfloreforskarna Åsa Håkansson och Frida Fåk Hållenius berättar om de senaste insikterna. För bara tio till femton år sedan framstod tanken på att diskutera tarmflora med sina bekanta förmodligen som något udda. Idag är det inte längre
