En observationsstudie från Lunds universitet som undersökt sockerkonsumtion, har fått stor nationell och internationell uppmärksamhet. Studien visar att sötade drycker har större negativ inverkan på hälsan än andra sockerkällor. De ökade signifikant risken för ischemisk stroke, hjärtsvikt, förmaksflimmer och bråck på bukens kroppspulsåder. Av de 70 000 svenskar som deltog i hälsostudien, blev 26 0

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Snart kommer knockoutmusen för TCF7L2 till LUDC. TCF7L2 är den viktigaste riskgenen för typ 2 diabetes och med musens hjälp kommer forskarna att lära sig mer om riskgenens funktioner. Knockoutmöss och andra genmodifierade djur är idag kraftfulla hjälpmedel när grundläggande sjukdomsmekanismer ska studeras. Tekniken

Plans to move some research and education to Science Village are being formulated. But the University’s finances are proving to be a limiting factor for the establishment. The goal for the University is to have completed a premises programme by the end of the year, which is essential if research and teaching are to be conducted in Science Village by 2030. Yet, Science Village Scandinavia AB, which

Where, how often, and how much it is going to rain or snow in the future is difficult to predict. Anders Ahlström studies the importance of precipitation for ecosystems on Earth – and contributes with new knowledge in a complex and fraught area. Across the world, researchers are in agreement on future warming patterns. However, future precipitation is more difficult to predict, and climate models

In today's scientific world, microscopic images have become a powerful resource for research. With access to advanced microscopes, researchers can now create unique images of structures and objects. Beautiful and captivating images that can also convey complex context to a wider audience. Microscopic images offer a clear advantage over purely quantitative measurements: they allow us to see the str

What obstacles stand in the way of user-centred working, and what is needed to succeed? Many organisations want to adopt a user-centred approach, but a new doctoral thesis shows that success is elusive when conflicting demands and a lack of organisational support throw a spanner in the works. Today, there is considerable pressure on organisations to work in a user-centred way. There is talk of use

In a new research article, PhD student Kelly Dorkenoo, together with researcher Murray Scown, and Director Emily Boyd, examines disproportionality in loss and damage from climate change. She argues that disproportionality in loss and damage from climate change is fundamentally about equity and justice, but while it is central in L&D policy, it has been treated implicitly in research. What are the

Guy Jackson, post-doctoral researcher at LUCSUS, has co-written a new explainer on loss and damage, published by the by Loss and damage Collaboration. It unpacks the what, why, how, where, and who of non-economic loss and damage, and provides actionable advice on how people and institutions can begin to address it. The explainer aims to inform research and policy development going forward, especia
