This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Metformin is the first-line drug that can lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients. One third of patients do not respond to metformin treatment and 5 per cent experience serious side effects, which is the reason many choose to stop medicating. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now identified bi

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A recent report by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) identifies 24 places across the world that are hotspots for deforestation - and where forests are under threat. A staggering over 43 million of hectares were lost in these areas between 2004 and 2017 - an area roughly the size of Morocco. Torsten Krause, who research

Nearly two out of three countries in the world now participate in a new kind of “virtual land trade”, where not only the goods produced but land ownership itself is traded internationally, according to a study from Lund University in Sweden.   WATCH: Two thirds of world’s countries now part of global land trade This phenomenon of large-scale global land acquisitions is receiving increasing interna

Idag vet forskarna det mesta om vilka gener som gör att vi föds med just vår blodgrupp. Däremot är inte mycket känt om vad som styr mängden blodgruppsmolekyler hos personer med samma eller liknande blodgrupp. Och det kan spela roll för transfusionssäkerheten. Nu har en forskargrupp i Lund utvecklat ett verktyg som ger svar – och på kuppen löst en 50-årig blodgåta. Studien där det bioinformatiska v

Enzymet kommer från en farlig bakterie, men kan användas för behandling av svåra sjukdomstillstånd. Och det påverkar bara ett enda av kroppens tusentals proteiner, så det är mer målinriktat än de flesta läkemedel. Det är en fullständigt unik egens

Den som själv är aktiv lär sig mer än den som bara lyssnar på andra. Därför jobbar jag mycket med tvärgrupper på olika sätt i min undervisning. Grundidén är att alla studenter ska få möjlighet att prata mycket samtidigt som de blir motiverade att själva ta ansvar för samtalet och därmed för sitt eget lärande.
