The climate issue is one of the biggest global societal challenges of our time. Research on where the climate is heading is an important part of that work, both to monitor the impact of emission reductions agreed between countries worldwide in Paris 2015, but also to be better prepared for the elements of climate change we will not be able to avoid. A climate model developed by researchers from Lu

The Planetary Health Diet. That's the diet that will keep us healthy and put food on the table for a future world population of 10 billion. But will it reduce strokes, premature deaths and greenhouse gas emissions? To find out, Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff compared different dietary indices. Her own index came out on top, and the results are now published in the prestigious Lancet Pla

Heiner Linke took up the position of LTH’s Deputy Dean with special responsibility for research in January 2021 and his term of office concludes at the end of 2023. Why did he not stand for re-election – and what will he do instead? What is the reason for not continuing as deputy dean? "After I was elected as deputy dean – a role that is part-time – I got a large, extra assignment. It was an ERC r

Spending time in the sun can make us both healthier and happier. But too much as well as too little sun can cause serious health problems. How much sun is right for you depends, among other things, on your genes, how much pigment you have, and where in the world you are. “We need to find a balance. I think we should continue to enjoy the sun in moderation – that is often good for us. But anyone wh

Young people who experience bullying because of their weight feel that their schools do not take the problem seriously enough. In some cases, they change their own behaviour to avoid harassment, according to a new study from Lund University. The interviews reveal how weight-based bullying shapes young people's everyday lives, self-image, and relationships. At the same time, several participants fe

When red blood cells break down, they release heme, a component of hemoglobin, that can contribute to inflammation and damage tissues and blood vessels. Researchers at Lund University have now identified a mechanism by which heme activates an inflammatory reaction in the blood. They were also able to block this pathway in experimental models. The findings could have implications for diseases and c

Embroidered codpieces, army-inspired t-shirts and casual trainers. Using clothing to reinforce one’s political stance is nothing new. That is the view of fashion historian Emma Severinsson from Lund University. Angela Merkel achieved the unusual feat of combining uniform-like outfits with a riot of colour. Her characteristic ensembles and trouser suits, created by designer Bettina Schoenbach, were

Researchers from Lund University, led by Dr. Laurent Roybon, are working to further define underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy. Their latest discovery, published in PNAS, could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as these, as well as other synucleiopathies in the fu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Established ways of measuring carbon emissions can sometimes give misleading feedback on how national policies affect global emissions. In some cases, countries are even rewarded for policies that increase global emissions, and punished for policies that contribute to reducing them. “We have developed a new method tha

When used as a diagnostic aid, artificial intelligence (AI) can help physicians save time and make more accurate diagnoses. However, physicians should also understand and be able to explain the computer’s decision to the patient to avoid jeopardising trust, says AI researcher Stefan Larsson. AI also puts us at a cross

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Do epigenetic changes cause type 2 diabetes, or do the changes occur only after a person has become ill? A new study by researchers at Lund University provides increased support for the idea that epigenetic changes can cause type 2 diabetes. The researchers behind the new findings published in Nature Communications now aim to develop methods for disease prevention. We inherit our genes from our pa
