A small proportion of women who receive anti-estrogen treatment after breast cancer surgery have worse outcomes. This is associated with mutations in the estrogen receptor gene, according to a study from Lund University now published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum. “If our results are confirmed in further studies, it would be relevant to screen for these resistance mutations already at diagnosis, and the

An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial? If the point is to aid threatened bee species and biodiversity, then a variety of native plants is the way to go.

En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att skogar som har förstörts av bränder fortsätter att avge koldioxid långt efter att lågorna har slocknat. Enligt de nya beräkningarna kan det ta över 40 år innan all den koldioxid som frigjordes på grund av skogsbranden i Sverige 2018 har bundits av ny skog igen. Forskningsresultaten gäller den boreala skogen som sträcker sig över det norra halvklotet fr
