The Christmas Gift of the Year is chosen to represent the time we live in. It should be either a new product or one experiencing a resurgence in interest, and it must generate significant sales revenues or sell in large quantities. Perfumes date back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, where they symbolized status rather than gender. While fragrances became more gender-specific during the 20th cen

The more times metastasised melanoma has mutated and the patient’s immune system has been activated against the tumour – the better the chances of survival after immunotherapy. This is what emerges from a research collaboration between Lund University in Sweden and Herlev university hospital in Denmark. The findings a
On Monday, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a new report on how climate change is impacting nature and people worldwide, and on the necessity for adaptation. According to the researchers, more than three billion people live in environments that are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and the same applies to many species. The researchers establish that thos

Psychiatric and cognitive symptoms emerge at an early stage in Huntington’s disease. However, research so far has mainly focused on movement impairment, a symptom associated with the more advanced stages of the disease. A new study from Lund University in Sweden now shows that the emotional brain - the limbic system - is affected earlier in the course of the disease, and should therefore be given

Sometimes healthcare professionals treat patients with opioids such as morphine to relieve symptoms, but there has been a lack of evidence as to whether this helps with severe chronic breathlessness. A randomised Phase 3 study conducted by Swedish and Australian researchers now finds that morphine does not reduce worst breathlessness. The study is published in JAMA. Long term shortness of breath i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. International sustainability policies set out clear goals for protecting ecosystems and biodiversity, but how to actually achieve these goals remains elusive in practice, as biodiversity loss continues at an alarming rate. A new study published in the journal Nature Sustainability by an international team of 32 scient
Swedish old-growth forests store 83 percent more carbon than managed forests, according to a new study from Lund University. The difference is substantially larger than previous estimates and is mainly due to large carbon stocks in the soil. The study, published in the scientific journal Science, is the most comprehensive mapping of how much carbon is stored in Swedish old-growth forests to date.

On 1 January 2020, a new law will come into force that means that cases concerning research misconduct are to be forwarded to a new national board exclusively dedicated to this. At Lund University, this will involve two or three current cases that will not be finalised in time. "The purpose of the act is good, however, the allocation of responsibilities between the new board and ourselves is unfo
