This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Natural solutions to combat climate change are perceived as beneficial to both nature and people simultaneously. But claims that natural solutions also bring about empowerment, gender equality and inclusion are problematic, especially when issues of power, agency and marginalisation are ignored. This is according to n
Long-term effective methods are needed to curb the negative effects of coastal erosion. Within the LIFE Coast Adapt project, researchers from Lund University, together with officials from Region Skåne and several coastal municipalities in Skåne, have tested various nature-based methods to contribute to a practice in the field. The project has now come to an end with promising results. In the LIFE

Several inaccuracies in historical CPIs in popular online databases have been discovered, according to new research by Jonas Ljungberg at Lund University, published in Cliometrica. This can have major consequences for both research and the decisions politicians make regarding economic policy. Jonas Ljungberg needed access to different European countries' consumer price indices (CPIs) for the last

Electrotherapy using injectable nanoparticles delivered directly into the tumour could pave the way for new treatment options for glioblastoma, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive form of brain tumour among adults. Even with intensive treatment, the average survival period is 15 months. The tumour has a high genetic variation

Most patients with mycosis fungoides, a rare form of lymphoma, live for years with a relatively mild disease. But in some cases it develops into a more serious condition. Angelica Johansson has identified biological changes that may help explain why the disease progresses in about a quarter of patients. Her work also shows that patients report unexpectedly high quality despite living with a chroni
For 40 years, students, employees and other Lund residents have flocked to Gerdahallen for training and exercise. After some tough years, the enthusiasts behind the fitness centre are now looking to the future. “Are you ready? Let’s go!

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden collected wild flatworms from Malmö’s largest park, Pildammsparken. These creatures are masters at regenerating after injury. Now, for the first time, the worms’ unique ability to regenerate has been harnessed to help accelerate wound healing in human skin models. A research team at Lund University was recently contacted by researchers at a Korean skincar

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a recent study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers have used new technology to study extremely fast processes in solar cells. The research results form a concrete step towards more efficient solar cells. The upper limit for the efficiency of normal solar cells is around 33 per cent. However, researchers now

In the past decade, knowledge of how lifestyle affects our genes, a research field called epigenetics, has grown exponentially. Researchers at Lund University have summarised the state of scientific knowledge within epigenetics linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes in a review article published in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism. Epigenetic mechanisms control the activity of different genes

Males and females are affected in different ways by cooperation and competition in social groups – something that could determine which group sizes work best. According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, this depends to a large extent quite simply on females and males having different interests. Over a seven-year period, the researchers studied ostriches in differently sized groups in
