Stiffer tumour tissue causes cancer to spread more quickly

The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the affected cells. This is shown by two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better understand how the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment actively drive cancer development and spread,” says Vinay Swaminathan, senior lecturer at Lund Univ

Early weight gain can have lifelong consequences

When in life we gain weight can have a significant impact on our health many years later. In a study involving over 600,000 people, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated how changes in weight between the ages of 17 and 60 are linked to the risk of dying from various diseases. The results show a clear pattern: weight gain early in adulthood has the greatest impact. It has long

Harmful exposure in metal recycling

The metal recycling industry is growing, not least due to the use of metals in green energy electronic components. Researchers at Lund University have examined the inhaled air of workers at 13 recycling companies in Sweden. Among the results, high levels of lead in air and elevated levels of multiple metals were detected in the blood of those who work in recycling. Different forms of metals are in

How EU agriculture can meet climate targets

The proposal from the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) would see agricultural subsidies phased out for the activities that cause the most damage to the climate, whilst increasing carbon sequestration and introducing specified pricing for emissions. Five researchers from Lund University in Sweden share their views on whether the EU’s agri-food system can cope with the t
