I mer än sex år har processen pågått för att EU ska godkänna ett flerårigt och miljövänligt sädesslag med potential att förändra Europas jordbruk i grunden. Att det drar ut på tiden beror på ett förlegat regelverk som behöver ändras, menar forskare. Kernza är ett perennt spannmål med meterlånga rötter som är bra för både miljön och klimatet. Spannmålet, med vete som närmaste släkting, är godkänt i

Ett nytt sätt att räkna ut ett lands koldioxidutsläpp kan förändra spelplanen när länders klimatarbete utvärderas. Sverige skulle klättra i rankingen om modellen, som också inkluderar ett lands teknikjusterade exportpåverkan, började användas. Bland andra Statistiska Centralbyrån visar intresse för måttet som utvecklats vid Lunds universitet. Så vad går det ut på – det teknikjusterade klimatfotavt

Precision medicine aims to deliver the right treatment to the right person at the right time. What does this mean for people with type 2 diabetes? Some of the research at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) focuses on the progression of type 2 diabetes to help develop more targeted treatments. Epigenetics can become a useful tool when diabetes care is tailored to the individual. People with typ

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people
