The Vombsjö basin in Skåne could become the world's first biosphere reserve integrating the cultural dimension. If the application to UNESCO is successful, the area could become an international forerunner as the first to work with culture in various forms of collaboration with citizens, academia, industry and the public sector. The Vombsjö basin in the municipalities of Eslöv, Lund and Sjöbo in S

An interdisciplinary research team has successfully used innovation to solve a persistent major problem in stem cell research. More specifically, to gently introduce therapeutic biomolecules into target cells to increase their growth. The project has now been awarded the ‟Proof of Concept” grant by the European Research Council (ERC). Jonas Larsson, professor of molecular medicine, and his researc

In a recent study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers discovered that metabolic changes affect how blood cells are formed during embryonic development. They found a previously unknown metabolic switch with a key role in how different types of blood cells develop. This means blood cell formation can be directed towards producing natural killer cells in the laboratory to ultimately be used i

How vulnerable is humanity in the face of climate change? And how have people around the world already been impacted? These are some of the questions to be answered on 28 February by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Two researchers from Lund University participated in the final report – Martina Angela Caretta and Emily Boyd. For three years, approximately three hundred top resea

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

On Monday, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a new report on how climate change is impacting nature and people worldwide, and on the necessity for adaptation. According to the researchers, more than three billion people live in environments that are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and the same applies to many species. The researchers establish that thos

Geologists at Lund University in Sweden have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available. Fish lizards, or ichthyosaurs, were a very successful group of animals that, much like today's whales, migrated f

What are opinions, what are facts and what are outright lies? The latest PISA assessment clearly shows that children and young adults have difficulties navigating the fast flow of information in society today. When anyone at all can make their voice heard it also becomes more difficult to recognise misleading information and fake news. Together, actors, performing arts teachers and researchers are

Vladimir Putin is driven by the old nationalistic theory about the western world’s conspiracy against Russia states Tova Höjdestrand, senior lecturer in Social Anthropology and a researcher whose areas of interest include Russia and nationalism. According to her, Russian conservatives have driven a radical conspiracy theory since the 1800s about how the west is trying to eliminate the east and tha

Any war crimes and accusations of genocide could be investigated by two different courts, both in The Hague. Jessica Almqvist, professor at the Department of Law, analyses what this involves. “There are not many who would dispute the unlawfulness of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine”, says Jessica Almqvist. Some days ago, Ukraine held Russia accountable for having violated the UN convention on genocide

In many ways, Swedish industrialisation began in the home. Women spun, wove and sewed clothes for payment in between their daily agricultural tasks, food preparation and childcare. But didn’t all industrial production gradually move into the factories? ‟No, it didn’t. That is a common misconception,” says economic historian Malin Nilsson, who is researching paid home industry work. ‟That is an ove
