Med ökande ålder sker en generell förlust av funktioner i alla kroppens organ. Bland annat är nedsatt njurfunktion och benskörhet vanligare hos äldre. Det senare i högre grad hos kvinnor. En ny avhandling från Lunds universitet sätter ljuset på kvinnors åldrande och undersöker sambandet mellan två vanliga sjukdomar som kan följa på åldrandet – njursvikt och benskörhet. Njurarna renar vårt blod gen

Professorn och melanomexperten Christian Ingvar har sett soltrender komma och gå. Personligen tar han lätt på ungdomstrenden med att ”maxa” solningen med hjälp av UV-appar. Men han är tydlig med sakfrågan: att bränna sig är skadligt, och svenskar måste behålla sin medvetenhet om nackdelar med solandet. Det farliga melanomet tror han är här för att stanna – men förhoppningsvis så tunt att det kan o

20 years of measurements are only the beginning. Long-term measurements over several decades are crucial to enable predictions of how airborne particles affect the future climate, according to Lund University researcher Erik Ahlberg. “Long-term measurements are important to prove that various climate initiatives actually work. Say we were to close all coal power plants today – with our time-series

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. During 7-8 of May, 80 researchers within MERGE and BECC met to learn about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and how their research can be linked, and contribute, to the implementation of the goals. We are just as far from reaching the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) as Burkina Faso. We just have different

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

David Gisselsson Nord and Tony Ingesson both love spy novels and have a nerdy interest in history. Their shared curiosity resulted in an interdisciplinary collaboration about how it might be possible to inspire smarter cancer treatment with the help of methods from espionage and intelligence analysis. Tony Ingesson finds it fairly easy to show a bit of attitude in front of the camera. David Gissel

Even in Earth’s high northern-latitude forest, climate change is predicted to make wildfires more frequent and severe.Earth’s far north hosts the boreal forest, a vast green belt that stretches from North America to Siberia. The boreal forest is one of the world’s largest CO₂ sinks. Over the past few thousand years it has removed around 1 trillion tonnes of carbon from the air, storing it in the t

Lead, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals. This is what researchers at Lund University in Sweden found when they collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments.

Have the flight-free movement’s calls to avoid flying because of climate change had an impact on travel behaviors? What can be attributed to economic factors, changed social norms or a combination of both is unclear - but air travel in Sweden has decreased by 20 percent compared to before the pandemic. – The movement seeks to achieve change by making visible other ways of traveling, and in a large
