With an approval rate of just 17 %, this year’s Swedish Research Council grants were harder than usual to secure. Still, several of MultiPark’s group leaders were awarded major grants in Medicine and Health 2025. Receiving grants from the Swedish Research Council is seen as a mark of quality and an important step in advancing an independent research group. Recently, six MultiPark researchers were

I sin avhandling i sociologi, som utforskar nya former av arbetsorganisation inom svensk byggindustri, myntar Rasmus Ahlstrand begreppet maskerad bemanning, ett icke-tillåtet sätt att förmedla och använda arbetskraft genom underentreprenörer. Genom att hävda att de lägger ut arbete på entreprenad, maskerar företag att de i själva verket använder principer om bemanning, vilket bland annat innebär a

The city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

There is still much we don’t know about the tiny plastic particles thought to be all around us. In a new study, Tommy Cedervall and his research group show that the rate of degradation may be faster for nanoplastics than for larger plastic debris. The reason is that UV radiation plays a role in the degradation process, and the radiation seems to have a greater effect on smaller particles. “This is

Neuroblastoma is a tumor disease that primarily affects young children. The survival rate is the lowest of all childhood cancers. Now, a research team at Lund University has discovered that a specific gene is associated with a poorer prognosis. The study is published in the journal Science Advances.

Why are certain people more severely affected than others by invasive streptococcal infections? According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, the answer lies in our genome. Carriers of a certain variant of the STING gene are at greater risk, particularly if they encounter the bacterial strains that have increased in the western world since the 1980s.
