Spending time in the sun can make us both healthier and happier. But too much as well as too little sun can cause serious health problems. How much sun is right for you depends, among other things, on your genes, how much pigment you have, and where in the world you are. “We need to find a balance. I think we should continue to enjoy the sun in moderation – that is often good for us. But anyone wh

Mental processing speed starts to slow down as early as our thirties, so that is the time to start making deposits into the brain account. With a large cognitive reserve, the brain has a better chance of finding ways to compensate for ageing, helping us keep it in shape. A healthy brain is a prerequisite for a long life. Dementia is not just about forgetfulness; it also involves the destruction of

By freezing your own healthy blood stem cells in your twenties, thawing them out, and undergoing a stem cell transplant in your forties or fifties, it might be possible to rejuvenate your blood-forming system and immune system. Science fiction? At least it works when old mice receive new healthy blood stem cells from young mice. Mice live only a couple of years at most. That makes them suitable to

A constant interplay takes place on the surface of the body between cells, the immune system and the skin microbiota. We do not notice it – until the balance is disturbed. Then it becomes clear that the very outermost layer of the skin plays a crucial role in the wellbeing of the whole body. The skin is thin. Its outermost layer, the stratum corneum, is only a few hundredths of a millimetre thick

Strong ties between forest owners and their land does not automatically translate into greater efforts to promote biodiversity. The current system of voluntary protection also risks overlooking the most valuable natural areas, according to a new doctoral thesis from Lund University. The study is based on interviews with 23 forest owners in southern Sweden. Many express a clear and emotional connec

Lund University, Linköping University and Örebro University will together work on developing the next generation of autonomous drone swarms. The initiative has received SEK 60 million in funding from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) over six years and will be coordinated through the newly established Center for Heterogeneous Adaptive Swarm Systems (CHASS). The aim is to develop

A landmark study led from Lund, Sweden, has shown that transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side effects directly linked to the transplanted cells were seen during the first year of follow up. The results are published in Nature Medicine. In Parkinson’s disease, patients lo

The most advanced engines are not found in airplanes, cars or other machines - they are found in nature. Inside our cells, tiny protein motors power everything from cell division to muscle movement with an efficiency and precision that has fascinated researchers for decades and inspired long-standing efforts to replicate them. Now, scientists have taken an important first step. An international re

Flower-rich road verges may attract hungry bumblebees, but at the same time they risk being dangerous for the buzzing insects – if the traffic is too heavy. This is shown in a new research study from Lund University in Sweden. The new research examined the role that roadsides play for bumblebees. The results show that road verges can be a dangerous environment for insects searching for food. The t
