But claims that natural solutions also bring about empowerment, gender equality and inclusion are problematic, especially when issues of power, agency and marginalisation are ignored. This is according to n

Kylan, den kärva miljön och den ständiga jakten på mat har lett till att djur i polarområden utvecklats till specialister på att spara energi. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet upptäckt ett tidigare okänt energibesparingsområde som fåglar tar till då polarnatten råder. Forskarna från Lunds universitet och Univer

För patienter med spridd hudcancer, malignt melanom, har immunterapi med så kallade checkpointhämmare blivit en allt vanligare behandling. Behandlingen har god effekt på lång sikt för cirka hälften av patienterna. En studie från Lunds universitet visar att molekylära mekanismer i tumörvävnad kan förklara varför andra får återfall. Checkpointhämmare är en typ av immunterapi som aktiverar kroppens e

With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year, as a result of a warmer climate and a changing agricultural landscape, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. “We risk losing additional bumblebee species, and having less pollination of crops and wild plants”, says

Within third-cycle education, as in the University as a whole, we are all different and as such we need to work according to the different subject conditions of the faculties. At the same time, we are more alike than we sometimes believe and there are advantages to having the same procedures and rules where possible, particularly when we see more interdisciplinary projects crossing departmental an
