Humans and animals are not the only ones affected by viruses. Unicellular organisms can also be attacked. In a new study, scientists establish that green algae can carry latent giant virus DNA in their genome. Biology researchers at Lund University in Sweden have spent several years studying microorganisms isolated from Lake Krageholm in Skåne and Lake Örsjön in Småland. During the most recent ele

Me time, couple time and more free time in everyday life. Many people wish they had more time – but is there a sustainable approach to time? Historian David Larsson Heidenblad is looking for the answer. In many Swedish homes there is a well-thumbed copy of Bodil Jönsson’s book Ten Thoughts about Time, a book that sold over 600,000 copies 20 years ago. In the book, the author discussed clock time,

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have conducted a clinical study to show how a woman’s genetic profile provides information on which hormone treatment is most effective for in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The researchers have now developed a simple oral swab test that shows which hormone therapy is the best option for IVF treatment About 15 per cent of all couples of reproductive age are inv

Who are the people that make up the world’s economic elite – and do they differ between countries? In a new, unique database, an international team of researchers has compiled individual data from 16 countries that together account for a third of the world’s population and more than half of the world’s GDP. The economic elite examined in this particular scenario includes CEOs and board members of

Passports issued by fallen empires, decks of cards from the Iraq war, deceased Ukrainian students’ uncollected diplomas and much more. A new museum in Lund is collecting artefacts that show how international law affects people's lives. The initiative is being led by international law researchers who argue that we are currently witnessing a crisis of the entire international system. “International

Archaeologist Greer Jarrett at Lund University in Sweden has been sailing in the footsteps of Vikings for three years. He can now show that the Vikings sailed farther away from Scandinavia, and took routes farther from land, than was previously believed to have been possible. In his latest study, he has found evidence of a decentralised network of ports, located on islands and peninsulas, which pr

For over 60 years, scientists have tried to determine whether plants are pollinated primarily during the day or at night — without reaching a clear conclusion. Now, a major research review from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that nighttime pollinators play just as significant a role as daytime species in 90 percent of the cases studied. Most of us know how important bees, birds, and butter

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

The most important mineral in today's electric car batteries is lithium. China completely dominates the market, with no extraction taking place in Europe. However, a new study shows that there is great potential for European lithium production, which would bring improvements in competitiveness, the climate and security. The study also points out that there are complex international trade dependenc

Framför allt barn från högre socioekonomiska bakgrunder har högre risk att insjukna.

I en observationsstudie från Lunds universitet är resultaten tydliga: fram till två års ålder ser en mer fiberrik mat ut att minska risken för celiaki, glutenintolerans. Särskilt tydlig koppling sågs när barn hade ätit fiberrik mat före ett års ålder. – Det är första gången förekomsten av celiaki studeras utifrån fibrer i barns kost. Men nu behövs även klinisk prövning för att eventuellt kunna slå

Sveriges gränsvärde för sexvärt krom har varit oförändrat sedan 1996 och är högre än i flera andra länder. En forskningsstudie från Lunds universitet visar att även arbetare som exponeras för krom under det svenska gränsvärdet, uppvisar betydande cellförändringar långt innan cancer utvecklas. Nu finns det ett förslag från Arbetsmiljöverkets att sänka gränsvärdet. I Sverige exponeras ungefär 18 000
