Brasiliens högsta domstol har i ett historiskt beslut röstat ner jordbrukslobbyns försök att begränsa ursprungsbefolkningens markrättigheter. Hållbarhetsforskaren Torsten Krause är försiktigt optimistisk till beslutet, som han menar är positivt för både mänskliga rättigheter och biologisk mångfald, men befarar att det kan medföra att avskogning och gruvdrift ökar i Brasiliens grannländer. – Det är

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers have made detailed observations of the mysterious exoplanet WASP-121 b. The discoveries of the element titanium and jet streams challenge our understanding of the winds and chemistry found on ultrahot planets. Just over 5,800 exoplanets – planets that orbit stars other than our Sun – have been discovered since the

Why are certain people more severely affected than others by invasive streptococcal infections? According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, the answer lies in our genome. Carriers of a certain variant of the STING gene are at greater risk, particularly if they encounter the bacterial strains that have increased in the western world since the 1980s. The findings, published in Nature Co

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate
