After many years, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has sequenced and characterized the entire genome of oats. This opens up for breeding healthier oats with even better nutritional content, and growing oats in a more environmentally sustainable way. The detailed genetic analyzes also strengthen the evidence that oats are safe in a gluten-free diet. The results are published in Natu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The recent hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria highlight the potential for the climate system to cause loss and damage. “Loss and damage” is a phrase used in different ways by people who work on climate policy, negotiation and adaptation/resilience. A new study clarifies these different perspectives which is a key issue

Less than ten per cent of energy intake from food should come from added sugar, according to the current Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. For adults, this corresponds to approximately 50–75 grams of added sugar per day and one can of soft drink contains approximately 30 grams of sugar. “Drinking soft drinks is not necessarily dangerous for a particular individual, however, at the group level, acr

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

Henrik Smith receives the Marsh Awards for Ecology by the British Ecological Society. The prize recognizes his long-standing contributions to advancing ecological research and strengthening the connection between science and society. He himself highlights the need for public engagement in science — the days of letting hefty reports collect dust are behind us. The motivation for the Marsh Awards fo

Han Somsen has newly been appointed professor in environmental law at the Faculty of Law. He is best known for his recommendation that bird-killing cats should be kept indoors. “Humans see themselves as the kings of the hill, which extends to their cats. If you question this, many people get very angry. I got death threats,” says Han Somsen. Han Somsen’s latest position was as professor at Tilburg

The Director General of the National Board of Trade (‘Kommerskollegium’), Anders Ahnlid, visited Lund on 30 March 2022. At a seminar organized by the Centre for European Studies, he presented an overview of how the global trading system came into being, evolved during and after the Cold War, and might develop in light of the challenges imposed upon it by the current war in Ukraine.

LUCSUS research tackles complex sustainability challenges, from the local to the global scale. Last year, in 2025, our researchers participated in many events and forums to present their work, including in conferences, panel debates and meetings – often in collaboration with actors outside of academia. LUCSUS outreach work aims to contribute to policy and drive social change. Global Health Symposi

Children in preschool and primary school will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how we humans can protect nature. The collaborative project ‘Natural Nations’ is introducing biodiversity in the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and the natural world was part of general knowledge and was passed down through generations. Today, t

Impaired insulin secretion is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, but the process is not yet fully understood. A new study by researchers at Lund University shows that the Piezo1 ion channel regulates insulin secretion, which means it may be an important target for new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes often occurs because the pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce enough effective in
