Royal climate change researcher Harriet Bulkeley doesn’t believe that directives from above cause us to change our behaviour. On the other hand, she believes in the creative and fumbling environmental experiments that she has seen popping up in cities around the world. Now she is going to study climate-friendly initiatives in Sweden. Harriet Bulkeley at the royal lunch following her lecture. Photo

With VR goggles and a manual control, Elisabeth Dalholm Hornyánszky is wandering on a summer beach and in a flowering garden. She takes a boat trip on a calming expanse of water and meets butterflies on a rolling field. “Goodness, how close that butterfly is! Can I open the gate?” Her spontaneous outbursts and observations make us share her experiences even though we are not really part of them. U

In a week or so it’s time for the National graduate school on ageing and health, SWEAH's biennial conference for affiliated researchers. For some, the first real event in a scientific context awaits. But what should you pack, wear and what else is good to think about? SWEAH's research administrator Stina Elfverson, with extensive experience as a tour guide, gives her best tips. She started as a to

Researchers have shown for the first time that an animal uses different directional sensors to achieve the highest possible navigational precision in different conditions. When the sun is high, dung beetles navigate using the wind. The discovery of the dung beetles’ wind compass and how it complements the sun compass was made by an international research team comprising biologists from Sweden and

The number of cases of disease caused by Leishmania, a parasite that is spread via bites by sand flies which are mainly found in tropical and subtropical areas and in countries around the Mediterranean, has increased in Sweden. The most serious form of the disease usually leads to death if untreated. First published: 2019-05-06“This disease is still very rare in Sweden but the number of cases has

Japanska vaktlar som utsätts för värmeböljor som kycklingar är bättre rustade att hantera extremvärme när de blivit vuxna än vaktlar som växer upp i kyla. Men det finns ett tak för hur värmetoleranta de små hönsfåglarna kan bli. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. I takt med att klimatet blir varmare och mer oförutsägbart måste fåglar och andra varmblodiga djur anpassa sig. Det sker exe

Många personer med cystisk fibros insjuknar vid ung ålder i diabetes. Varför har hittills till stora delar varit okänt men nu har forskare vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum och Karolinska institutet kartlagt en molekylär mekanism som bidrar till den förhöjda diabetesrisken. - Den ökade risken för diabetes har tidigare förklarats med att sjukdomen cystisk fibros i sig leder till skador på buks

Flera gener som ökar risken för övervikt och fetma är redan kända men nu rapporterar en holländsk forskargrupp att de funnit en smal-gen, en genetisk variant som minskar risken. Ämnet reservatol, som finns bland annat i rött vin, aktiverar smal-genen, åtminstone hos möss. Att genen SIRT1 tilldrar sig allt större intresse från forskarna har flera orsaker. Den har bevarats under miljoner år och finn

Ett nytt större EU-finansierat forskningsprojekt ska undersöka arbetsvillkoren för så kallade ”care workers”. Projektet CARE4CARE ska undersöka arbetsvillkoren för "care workers", vilket omfattar ett urval av arbetstagare i vård och omsorg som sjuksköterskor och undersköterskor, och hur dessa arbetstagare själva ser på sin arbetssituation. Projektet ska också resultera i förslag på hur man kan frä

Nearly four in ten female upper secondary school students suffer from iron deficiency. Among vegetarians and vegans, seven in ten have low iron levels, according to a new study led by Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff. The research has received considerable attention in the press, radio and television. "We were surprised by the results," says Anna Stubbendorff. The past two weeks have been

B cells and the antibodies they produce play an important role in our immune system, protecting us from the microscopic enemies that make us ill. Uncovering how they form and are ‘programmed’ during development is key to better understanding the immune response to infections and vaccinations.

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r
