A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the

With the market for fossil fuels in decline, the oil industry is investing heavily in the chemical and plastics industry instead. The strategy seems to be working: the plastics industry is growing faster than the global economy. Multibillion-dollar subsidies from states and publicly funded banks, combined with weak legislation, are reasons behind the rapid growth, according to a new report from Lu

Using fishing-rods laced with dental floss and the Nobel-prize winning Crispr-Cas9 gene-editing technology, Nathalie Feiner wants to reveal some of the deepest mysteries of evolution. At the root of it all: a heartfelt love of lizards. Lying on a thin branch in the terrarium on Nathalie Feiner’s desk in the Department of Biology is a grey-speckled anolis lizard, looking out over the empty coffee c

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How staff communicate – at lectures, meetings, via email and on social media is more valuable for the trust in the University than PR campaigns. However, to talk about Lund University staff as ambassadors for the university brand is to choose the wrong perspective, say communication researchers Charlotte Simonsson and

New advanced therapies can alleviate or cure chronic diseases. But medical progress raises the question of how rights should be protected and balanced, according to Jessica Almqvist, professor in international law and human rights, who conducts research on gene therapies. With advanced therapies, doctors can treat or prevent serious diseases. Gene therapies are tailor-made and individualised. The

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis

Researchers from Lund University, building on previous studies, have been working to understand why stem cells are transforming into cancer. Previously they revealed that small RNA molecules, long considered “junk” or degradation byproducts of RNA-sequencing, are emerging as key regulators of important cellular processes, like protein synthesis. Their latest discovery is published in Nature Cell B

Continuity in healthcare can improve health outcomes of patients by ensuring that patient-specific information is not lost in translation between providers, and by improving the appropriate follow-up care. Yet, little is known about how patients cope with the sudden and permanent loss of a main provider in healthcare, such as a primary care practice. The findings in a new PhD thesis from Lund Univ
