Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

Ett forskarteam med forskare från Lund har rekonstruerat historiska temperaturer i Arktis, som spänner över tusen år. En ny teknik och en nyligen publicerad databas med proxydata har använts i kartläggningen, som är ett viktigt bidrag för att förstå temperaturförändringar nu och i framtiden. Arktis är det område i världen som värms upp snabbast, genom så kallad arktisk förstärkning. En ny forsknin

Lärare som undervisar om klimat-och hållbarhet vittnar om att elever ofta känner sig modfällda, oroliga och hjälplösa efteråt. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet tagit fram en samling övningar som ska ge elever verktyg att hantera klimatstress och ångest. – Vi har märkt att våra studenter ofta är osäkra på hur de ska reagera på fakta om klimatet. De känner sig ofta överväldigade inför det alltm
