Is it time for a new nutritional supplement during pregnancy to prevent type 1 diabetes in the unborn child? Two new scientific studies, one from Lund University in Sweden, and another from Finland, suggest so. The research groups have analysed blood samples from umbilical cords and compared the level of a group of fats known as phospholipids. The results of the studies show that low levels of pho

A research team led by Lund University has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. This means you can use bacteria to determine whether someone has just been to the beach, got off the train in the city centre or

A research group at Lund University has been able to show that bile acid is transferred from the mother to the foetus via the placenta to enable the foetus to produce blood stem cells. Bile acids are normally found in adults, to help digest food, but in studies with pregnant mice, a research team has found large amounts of bile acids also inside the foetus.“Foetuses produce small amounts of bile a

Fast fashion has shrunk the fashion production cycle from three months to an unbelievable two weeks. New ideas are snapped up from the catwalk, interpreted and made into trendy clothes with a low price-tag, available in shops and online. Economists attribute the success of fast fashion to innovative large companies, but anthropologist Christina Moon maintains that the background to the phenomenon
