This Regional Outlook focuses on the obstacles of delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza and the challenges of rebuilding and reconstructing the area after the war. In 2007, the blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt in Gaza transformed the Strip into an area entirely dependent on humanitarian aid and external support, with the movement of people and goods under Israeli and Egyptian control. The 7 Octo

This CMES Regional Outlook (2026:1) by Hebatalla Taha and Dina Tawfik examines Iran’s nuclear posture beyond assumptions of weaponisation, highlighting its pursuit of nuclear latency and the implications for diplomacy and regional dynamics. There is a tendency to assume that Iran wants ‘the bomb’. This claim has been repeated – in the press and in some policy circles – with little nuance. However,

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Flera undersökningar har pekat på att de som dricker mycket kaffe eller te löper mindre risk att drabbas av typ 2 diabetes. Nu bekräftas resultaten i en genomgång av fler än 30 olika undersökningar. Ett internationellt forskarlag har genomfört en så kallad metaanalys, det vill säga de har ställt samman en lång rad u

Japanska vaktlar som utsätts för värmeböljor som kycklingar är bättre rustade att hantera extremvärme när de blivit vuxna än vaktlar som växer upp i kyla. Men det finns ett tak för hur värmetoleranta de små hönsfåglarna kan bli. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. I takt med att klimatet blir varmare och mer oförutsägbart måste fåglar och andra varmblodiga djur anpassa sig. Det sker exe

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden collected wild flatworms from Malmö’s largest park, Pildammsparken. These creatures are masters at regenerating after injury. Now, for the first time, the worms’ unique ability to regenerate has been harnessed to help accelerate wound healing in human skin models. A research team at Lund University was recently contacted by researchers at a Korean skincar

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres
