Trots stor och bestående viktnedgång minskar inte den psykiska ohälsan bland unga som gjort kirurgiska ingrepp mot övervikt. Däremot ökar fetmaoperationer risken för tidiga alkoholproblem. Det visar världens största långtidsstudie som gjorts bland unga som genomgått viktkirurgi. Studien är gjord vid bland annat Lunds universitet och Karolinska Institutet. Forskarna har studerat psykisk ohälsa – fö

Enligt ny forskning riskerar nordliga torvmarker att spela en större roll i framtida klimatförändringar än vad man tidigare trott. Studien visar att stora områden med torvmarker kan börja släppa ut koldioxid redan vid mitten av 2100-talet. Hittills har torvmarker främst betraktats som en naturmiljö som kan dämpa klimatproblemen tack vare att torven lagrar enorma mängder koldioxid från atmosfären.

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte
