A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

According to a travel survey conducted last autumn, better public transport and secure bicycle parking at the workplace are the main measures needed to reduce car commuting. There are also differences in travel patterns between faculties. "The travel survey provides a valuable insight into the commuters’ wishes on what can facilitate sustainable travel in their everyday lives. Now we can weave thi

Since April, the second part of a sustainable mobility project, which is to examine all staff and students’ travel habits to and from campus, has been underway. The aim of the project is to reduce the negative impact of our travel to and from work/studies on sustainability and the environment. Lund University currently has around 8,000 employees and 46,000 students, which means a lot of people tra

We follow up our systematic work environment management every year. This year’s follow-up paints an overall picture that I think is worth pausing to consider. I can see a positive shift in the way we discuss and address work environment issues. Many people have been involved in this development, and I would therefore like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to take pride in this year’s

Konst samsas med arkeologi när Skissernas museum och Historiska museet ska flytta miljontals magasinerade skatter till ett öppet magasin vid Kunskapsstråket. Packningen pågår. Flytten kommer att göra de unika föremålen långt mer tillgängliga än de är i dag. – Det blir en oerhörd vitamininjektion i synen på vårt materiella kulturarv och hur vi betraktar konst och arkeologi. Det är något helt nytt s

Narkosgaser är potenta växthusgaser vars totala globala påverkan hittills varit okänd. Nu publiceras en studie i The Lancet Planetary Health ledd från Lunds universitet som visar att utsläppet från växthusgaser från narkosgaser minskar med 27 procent över de senaste tio åren. Genom att ersätta den narkosgas som har störst klimatpåverkan, hade klimatpåverkan från narkosgaser kunnat minska med ytter

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har gjort den hittills mest detaljerade kartläggningen av epigenomet i de celler som styr kroppens blodsocker. Studien, som publiceras i Nature Metabolism, visar hur kemiska förändringar på DNA påverkar både insulinproducerande betaceller och glukagonproducerande alfaceller – och hur dessa mönster förändras vid typ 2-diabetes. Alla celler i kroppen har samma uppsättn

Forskare har för första gången identifierat en tidigare okänd försvarsmekanism i aggressiva hjärntumörer: en sockerrik sköld som omger tumörceller och som skyddar dem mot en särskilt destruktiv form av celldöd.

Nästan hälften av alla demensfall kan bero på riskfaktorer som vi själva kan påverka, till exempel rökning och högt blodtryck. En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar vilka riskfaktorer som är förknippade med två av våra vanligaste demenssjukdomar - Alzheimers sjukdom och vaskulär demens. Under livet påverkas risken att utveckla demens av aspekter som vi inte kan förändra – såsom ålder, kön och

Ben- och skelettskador orsakar omfattande och långvariga funktionsnedsättningar globalt. I en ny studie visar forskare vid Lunds universitet hur en cellfri broskstruktur kan styra benläkning på ett säkert sätt, utan att framkalla starka immunsvar. Transplantatet är framgångsrikt testat i djurmodeller och nästa steg är att utvärdera vävnadstekniken i människa. I korthet: Sammantaget visar studien a
