This is thanks to a group of innovative students in Food Technology at Lund University, who recently developed a bean paste called Le Cobean. Healthier, tastier and eco-friendly – these are some of the argum

Through a computer-simulated study, astronomers at Lund University in Sweden show that it is highly likely that the so-called Planet 9 is an exoplanet. This would make it the first exoplanet to be discovered inside our own solar system. The theory is that our sun, in its youth some 4.5 billion years ago, stole Planet

It has been established that not all cancer cells are equally aggressive – most can be neutralised with radiation and chemotherapy. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered that some cancer cells can accumulate fat droplets, which appear to make them more aggressive and increase their ability to sp

In 2015, over one million people were forced to flee from war and persecution to seek asylum in Europe. More than 160,000 refugees, including over 70,000 children, applied for asylum in Sweden. To ensure that they receive a secure education and future in their new country, the Swedish school system needs to invest to develop the skills of school staff concerning reception. That is the standpoint o

Eight days. That's how long it takes for skin cells to reprogram into red blood cells. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues at Center of Regenerative Medicine in Barcelona, have successfully identified the four genetic keys that unlock the genetic code of skin cells and reprogram them to start producing red blood cells instead. "We have performed this experiment on mi

Through a detailed study of leukaemia cells from more than 200 children, a research group at Lund University in Sweden has discovered two new types of childhood leukaemia. Using next-generation sequencing technology (NGS), the researchers were able to study the genome of cancer cells, which is how they discovered the

Reducing energy imports and mitigating climate change are often portrayed as complementary. However, new research shows that while ambitious climate policies would lower energy imports, energy independence would not bring significant climate benefits. Originally published on IIASA web site Ambitious policies to reduce energy imports would have little impact on climate change, and these energy inde

Geologist Birger Schmitz from Lund University in Sweden has found the fossil of an extinct meteorite that collided with Earth about 470 million years ago. The finding is the first of its kind and of a type of meteorite that no longer falls on Earth. The discovery, which could lead to new knowledge about our solar syst

Traditionally, the evolutionary development of an insect species has been explained by the notion that the female insect chooses her male partner based on size and other factors, so-called assortative mating. These mating patterns have also been believed to partially explain how the isolation between different species

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that the appetite hormone CART is regulated by glucose and is found in greater quantity in people with type 2 diabetes. “This could be the body’s own defence mechanism to lower blood sugar levels in case of type 2 diabetes”, says Associate Professor Nils Wierup, in charge of the study. The study shows that the appetite hormone CART not only
