Long-term measurements show how the climate is changing
20 years of measurements are only the beginning. Long-term measurements over several decades are crucial to enable predictions of how airborne particles affect the future climate, according to Lund University researcher Erik Ahlberg. “Long-term measurements are important to prove that various climate initiatives actually work. Say we were to close all coal power plants today – with our time-series

Rethinking laws on climate adaptation - exploring resistance in flooded Cartagena
How should societies adapt to rising seas, floods, and other climate threats? These questions are explored in a new study by LUCSUS researchers. It reveals that the answer is broader than just improved policies – it's about rethinking the very role of law itself. Researchers Ebba Brink, Ana Maria Vargas Falla and Emily Boyd examine how socio-legal processes shape climate vulnerability and resistan

Time to stop talking about the climate?
A warmer world affects health, jobs, migration and welfare. We can no longer talk about the climate as a separate issue, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd. – Climate change has long been seen as something separate from society. People often talk about negative effects on our natural environment rather than how a changed climate may affect our everyday lives. This means that many people, per

The recipe for a great antibody
Antibodies are the body's superheroes, recognizing and eliminating disease-causing substances. By combining parts from antibodies, researchers at Lund University have designed a hybrid antibody that better stimulates the immune system against both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and streptococcal bacteria. Antibodies can be likened to keys, with antigens as the corresponding locks. Each antibody is uniquely

Reduced climate impact of anaesthetic gases – but a worrying trend in middle-income countries
Gases used in anaesthesia are potent greenhouse gases, and their total global impact has not previously been known. A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows that greenhouse gas emissions from anaesthetic gases have decreased by 27% over the last ten years. By swapping out the anaesthetic gas with the highest climate impact, the climate impact of anaesthetic gas

Q&A: COVID-19 vaccine study gains attention
Newly discovered drug candidate increases insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes
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

My aerobic capacity – RPC
In order to be able to prescribe the appropriate dose of physical activity to patients, healthcare professionals need to consider a range of individual factors. There is a need to facilitate the assessment of aerobic capacity i. e. maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max), as well as to calculate the intensity of training according to the WHO recommendations for physical activity. Now, researchers

Focusing on chronic lung disease
The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration research group is made up of about 15 researchers focusing on chronic lung disease. The group’s work includes the development of different methods to study disease models for conditions such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. One of the researchers, John Stegmayr, has been awarded SEK 700,000 from the Carl Tesdorpf Foundation to expand research into idiopathic

An old pollen seed can predict tomorrow's climate
Is it possible that a tiny pollen dredged up from a European lake can hold answers about both our past and our future? Researchers at Lund University use pollen as old as 12 000 years to predict our future climate, and to study ecological and historical change. Researchers Esther Githumbi and Johan Lindström use pollen from the ice age to the present to inform vegetation models and find crucial an

Does one service fit all?
Perhaps not, argues Yulia Vakulenko. At least not when it comes to the delivery service needs and preferences of rural versus urban e-consumers in the age of consumer-centric supply chain management. The new age of consumer-centric supply chain management highlights the benefits of placing the consumer at the core of strategy development and operations design. Recent e-commerce shifts translate in

How our skin cells might be the key to better understanding the human brain
Researchers from Lund University interested in understanding how aging affects the brain have made a new discovery that will help make it easier to study age-related brain diseases and potential treatments in the future. The key to this? human skin cells. The human brain is often likened to the night sky. Look up and one will see billions upon billions of stars. Our brains are similar in that with
