Diabetes researchers have established methods for screening people with an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Current methods require multiple blood samples during each visit. An international team of researchers has developed a simplified screening method, which will increase screening efficiency. Type 1 diabetes is a disease that requires lifelong treatment with insulin. People of all

Five years ago, shared e-scooters arrived in big Swedish cities almost overnight. Today, they are as debated, as they are a familiar sight of the city landscape. In his doctoral thesis, Phil Justice Flores has investigated why people use shared micromobility such as e-scooters and e-bikes. His research shows that for many people, shared electric scooters are used because they contribute to positiv

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

For many cancer patients, successful treatment depends on whether the disease is detected early or responds to existing therapies. With new grants from the Swedish Cancer Society (Cancerfonden), three postdoctoral researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center will investigate new drivers of cancer development and how the immune system can be more effectively mobilised against tumors. In M

Annars riskerar hållbarhetsforskningen att leda till att komplexa ekosystem blir varor på en nyliberal global marknad eller att fattiga människor förlorar rätten till och makten över lokala naturresurser.
