A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

The headlines about non-functioning security alarms, about cameras and soon also AI in the home service, are getting more and more. But what happens when the welfare technology does not work? Next year, a new research project will be launched which will investigate this very thing. The CASE researchers, associate professors Gunilla Carlsson, Connie Lethin and Agneta Malmgren Fänge, have in previou

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain’s rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia, epilepsy and other neurological conditions. Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. They control nerv

Since April, the second part of a sustainable mobility project, which is to examine all staff and students’ travel habits to and from campus, has been underway. The aim of the project is to reduce the negative impact of our travel to and from work/studies on sustainability and the environment. Lund University currently has around 8,000 employees and 46,000 students, which means a lot of people tra

According to a travel survey conducted last autumn, better public transport and secure bicycle parking at the workplace are the main measures needed to reduce car commuting. There are also differences in travel patterns between faculties. "The travel survey provides a valuable insight into the commuters’ wishes on what can facilitate sustainable travel in their everyday lives. Now we can weave thi

We follow up our systematic work environment management every year. This year’s follow-up paints an overall picture that I think is worth pausing to consider. I can see a positive shift in the way we discuss and address work environment issues. Many people have been involved in this development, and I would therefore like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to take pride in this year’s

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har gjort den hittills mest detaljerade kartläggningen av epigenomet i de celler som styr kroppens blodsocker. Studien, som publiceras i Nature Metabolism, visar hur kemiska förändringar på DNA påverkar både insulinproducerande betaceller och glukagonproducerande alfaceller – och hur dessa mönster förändras vid typ 2-diabetes.
