Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50.

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces.

RQ20, the new major research quality evaluation, is underway! It is based on self-evaluations and will involve around 5 000 members of staff.

Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS, technologies have been identified as key to reduce harmful emissions and to mitigate the effects of climate change. A new study, focusing on leading CCS countries, Norway and Brazil, identifies how these technologies should be implemented equitably, applied to hard-to -abate industrial sectors, and not used to justify continued fossil fuel dependency.

Maten vi äter påverkar inte bara kroppen utan även knoppen. Forskare vid Lunds universitet strävar efter att förstå hur en kost med mycket fett och socker påverkar minnesförmågor i samband med övervikt och typ 2-diabetes. Deras nya studie på möss visar att fet mat och sockersötad dryck leder till försämrat minne, men att det går att vända utvecklingen. Övervikt är en riskfaktor för att utveckla ty
