A review of 50 countries' long term climate strategies to reach net zero emissions shows that countries calculate their residual emissions differently, and that current climate strategies include significant levels of residual emissions – making society dependent on unsustainable and unfeasible large-scale carbon removal technologies. In a new article, published in Nature Climate Change, LUCSUS re

Stem cell transplantation is a cornerstone in the treatment of blood malignancies. In order to succeed, stem cells need to be harvested from a donor. This requires that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) are mobilized from the donor’s bone marrow into the blood. In a new study, the Nilsson lab discovered DNA sequence variants that regulate HSPC levels in human blood, exposing potential

In a recent paper, Fredrik N G Andersson explores the connection between economic inequality and the environment. He discovers that the relationship is complex, varying by time, location, and the specific environmental indicator. The most pronounced correlation is found between income inequality and energy use, which subsequently impacts greenhouse gas emissions. Structural shifts in the consumpti

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the ability of microorganisms to adapt to climate warming will slow down global warming by storing carbon in soil. In the study, researchers collected soil samples from across Europe in a wide range of temperatures, from minus 3.1 to 18.3 degrees Celsius. The samples revealed that microorganisms in soils – such as bacteria and fungi – are stron
