A team of researchers from Lund University and the Lund Stem Cell Center have developed a new memory-efficient tool for single-cell genomic analysis called Scarf. Now available in Nature Communications, this innovative, bioinformatics software has the potential to help researchers navigate a growing treasure trove of data and set them on the path to answering new scientific questions related to hu

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p

Clearcutting is often considered negative for biodiversity, which is why continuous cover forestry is seen as a more favourable alternative. But could it be that clearcutting - with proper management from a landscape perspective - could favour certain species? Recently, it has become increasingly common to find birds and butterflies on clearcuts, species that normally thrive in areas such as hayfi

What happens if there is a power cut and the heating stops working for a long period of time? Besides the obvious consequences – that technology doesn’t work and it gets cold – how do we, as a society, prepare for such a crisis? Do we know who is supposed to do what when it happens? And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that can happen. A

På COP-mötets första dag i Dubai togs ett formellt beslut om att inrätta en fond för att stötta utvecklingsländer att hantera klimatskador. En pragmatisk framgång för klimaträttvisa menar hållbarhetsprofessorn Emily Boyd som nu hoppas att även Sverige ska följa efter med löften om finansiellt stöd. Emily Boyd, professor vid Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, är en av få experter i

Två forskare vid medicinska fakulteten får anslag, 61 miljoner, för forskning om immunologiskt långtidsminne och omprogrammering av tumörceller. Forskningen ska leda till effektivare vaccinationsstrategier och immunterapier. Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse har beviljat 835 miljoner kronor till 30 olika projekt inom medicin, naturvetenskap och teknik som bedöms ha potential att bana väg för fr

I strokemodeller på möss, har forskare lyckats återställa förlorad hjärnfunktion med hjälp av små molekyler som i framtiden kan utvecklas till strokeläkemedel. ­– Efter stroke förändras kommunikationen mellan nervceller i stora delar av hjärnan och vi visar att den delvis återställs med behandlingen, säger Tadeusz Wieloch, seniorprofessor i neurobiologi vid Lunds universitet. –  Samtidigt återfår

Socialhögskolan får ofta förfrågningar från organisationer där det arbetar socionomer, med förslag på uppsatsämnen för våra studenter. Socionomstudenterna Elin och Viola behövde inte fundera länge när de fick tips om att socialtjänsten i Trelleborgs kommun undrade om några studenter kunde granska barnavårdsutredningar ur ett jämställdhetsperspektiv.

Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results was presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster by

In Sweden, class actions - such as the ongoing Aurora case, where 300 young people are suing the government for failing to implement climate policies - are rare. Too rare, according to the sociologist of law Michael Molavi. He argues that Sweden would benefit from more class actions and that the state should finance the legal costs. On 21 March, Nacka District Court announced that the youth group
