Carbon offsetting is an environmental strategy based on financing climate measures in developing countries to compensate for greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries. In recent years, it has become a popular strategy among companies as well as private individuals to reduce their carbon footprint.Tree-planting has become one of the most popular – albeit most controversial – forms of the

In a collaborative study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center and University College London have developed a novel method of isolating ‘young’ stem cells still present in old mice. They show that activity of mitochondria, the power generators of the cell, is a stronger indicator of stem cell fitness than age and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of age associated disease. The

Cardiovascular and lung disease increase the risk of complications in COVID-19. Therefore, the Heart-Lung Foundation has granted SEK 3.1 million for five research projects at Lund University that will contribute to more knowledge about the effects of COVID-19. One of the researchers, Jonas Erjefält, professor in Medical Inflammation, has been granted SEK 1 million for mapping of immunological dise

It is Thursday morning and time for the miniature brains to have lunch. The temperature in the cell incubator is a comfortable 37 degrees, perfect for a tiny brain. Anna Falk prepares the nutrient solution that the cells need to grow. These are cells that have made the remarkable transformation from skin cells to stem cells and then to brain neurons. The small model of the brain is called an organ

The Vice-Chancellor has named three of the University’s large research infrastructures as University Platforms. The designation signals that these research infrastructures have high strategic significance for the entire University. The designations are based on a number of criteria, for example whether the research infrastructures have contributed to excellent research, offered broad availability

It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms. It is well known that organic farming benefits biodiversity and ca

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle

Meret-Neith was perhaps the first female ruler of ancient Egypt and one of the most powerful women in the world during her lifetime some 5,000 years ago. Researcher Amber Hood is part of an international research team investigating the royal tomb in the desert outside Abydos. When LUM spoke to Amber Hood, a researcher at the Department of Geology, she was making final preparations for this year’s

Implementing nature-based solutions requires better management and funding with clear political priorities. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Nordic Council of Ministers, in which researchers from Lund University participated. Nature-based solutions to climate change and the loss of biodiversity are increasingly highlighted, most recently during the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27)

Efforts to combat climate change tend to focus on supply-side changes, such as shifting to renewable or cleaner energy. In a Special Issue in the Energy Efficiency Journal that follows the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 ˚C, researchers argue that demand-side approaches can play a crucial role given the aspirational target outlined in the Paris Agreement. “We need to aggressively redu
