This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear

Filipe Pereira, professor of molecular medicine at Lund University, is awarded this year's Fernström prize for young, exceptionally promising, and successful researchers. He receives the award for his work on reprogramming blood cells and the development of immunotherapies based on this technology. It was a sheep that determined Filipe Pereira's career choice. He was in high school when he heard a

Climate change is damaging public health and is also leading to premature deaths. At the same time, the healthcare sector itself is responsible for significant emissions. Studies of intensive care and surgical care in Sweden show that over 60 per cent of the climate impact in intensive care is driven by the growing volume of single-use products, according to research by Linn Hemberg at Lund Univer

This CMES Regional Outlook (2026:1) by Hebatalla Taha and Dina Tawfik examines Iran’s nuclear posture beyond assumptions of weaponisation, highlighting its pursuit of nuclear latency and the implications for diplomacy and regional dynamics. There is a tendency to assume that Iran wants ‘the bomb’. This claim has been repeated – in the press and in some policy circles – with little nuance. However,

This CMES Regional Outlook (2025:3) by Karin Aggestam examines the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas. The recent ceasefire, described as the first phase of US President Donald Trump’s “peace plan” announced on 29 September 2025, represents an important yet fragile step towards ending the ongoing war in Gaza. While the agreement has facilitated the release of Israeli hostages and

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Royal climate change researcher Harriet Bulkeley doesn’t believe that directives from above cause us to change our behaviour. On the other hand, she believes in the creative and fumbling environmental experiments that she has seen popping up in cities around the world. Now she is going to study climate-friendly initia

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The construction of a dam in Ethiopia could solve many problems for the growing population along the Nile. However, when the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam began, it was met with warmongering from countries downstream.

The income and education levels of a child’s environment determine their relationship to nature, not whether they live in a city or the countryside. This is the finding of a new study conducted by researchers at Lund University, Sweden. The results run counter to the assumption that growing up in the countryside automatically increases our connection to nature, and yet the study also shows that na

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets.
