Obesity is associated with reduced muscle mass and impaired metabolism. Epigenetic changes that affect the formation of new muscle cells may be a contributing factor, according to new research from Lund University, Sweden. In a new study, doctoral student Cajsa Davegårdh has studied so-called DNA methylation in muscle stem cells in both obese and non-obese individuals. DNA methylation is an epigen

The city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

Facts and research must carry more weight when planning the greening of cities in the future. A new research article calls for a paradigm shift – from 'arbitrary decisions' to more evidence-based urban planning, where urban nature is managed as a resource for both people and biodiversity. Biodiversity is under pressure and many species are at risk of disappearing due to human activity. Research sh

Pollinators such as bees, bumblebees, and butterflies lack sufficient habitats, and the ones that do exist are often of inadequate quality. A new study conducted by researchers from more than 20 academic institutions – including CEC and the Department of Biology at Lund University – shows that these insects can benefit from increasing the area of their habitats significantly more than what is curr
