How do you measure biodiversity impacts from products and raw materials extracted in very different places around the world? Researcher Carla Coelho from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo), and colleagues, developed a new way to estimate the impact of mines and quarries - and how much they actually perforate their surroundings habitats. Perforation - human activity that crea

Many people feel mentally unwell during the pandemic, especially, it seems, those who are already exposed to socio-economic inequalities. But who really suffers the most when restrictions, loneliness, depression have become commonplace? Researchers from Lund University have tried to find out in a cross-sectional study where young adults are identified as a particularly vulnerable group. After more

Earlier this fall, the Swedish Cancer Foundation (Cancerfonden) distributed 133 million SEK to 41 cancer researchers at Lund University. Nearly a quarter of this - 28 million SEK - has been awarded to 11 researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center, funding translational research which seeks to advance cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Isabella Artner, Associate Professor, is among the 11 res

“Do you want to see what a box jellyfish sees and experiences when it rides a roller-coaster?” “We humans believe that what we see is reality, but it isn’t. It is an eminently human reality, filtered through our eyes. The visual world of animals shows different realities”, says Dan-Eric Nilsson. Almost 40 years have passed since Dan-Eric Nilsson arrived in Lund from Gothenburg as a doctoral studen

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be
