Talgoxar som lever i städer skiljer sig genetiskt från talgoxar på landet. Det konstaterar forskare i en unik studie där de undersökt populationer med talgoxar i nio stora europeiska städer och jämfört deras gener med generna hos kusinerna från landet. Forskarna konstaterar dessutom att det inte spelar någon roll om talgoxarna lever i Malmö, Milano eller Madrid: För att klara av att leva i en milj

För patienter med spridd hudcancer, malignt melanom, har immunterapi med så kallade checkpointhämmare blivit en allt vanligare behandling. Behandlingen har god effekt på lång sikt för cirka hälften av patienterna. En studie från Lunds universitet visar att molekylära mekanismer i tumörvävnad kan förklara varför andra får återfall. Checkpointhämmare är en typ av immunterapi som aktiverar kroppens e

En stor svensk tvillingstudie visar att den som insjuknar i diabetes före 65 års ålder löper avsevärt större risk att drabbas av vaskulär demens eller Alzheimers sjukdom. Forskargrupper vid Karolinska institutet i Stockholm, universitetet i Göteborg och University of California i Los Angeles har analyserat data från en stora svensk tvillingstudie för att undersöka sambandet mellan diabetes och ris

År 2004 presenterade en grupp forskare en helt ny metod för att automatisera kravhantering, ett centralt område inom mjukvaruutveckling. Tio år senare har forskningen exploderat och gör nu sitt intåg inom den snabbväxande mjukvaruproducerande industrin. Snabbare produktutveckling och bättre IT-system blir vinsten. Nu får forskarna utmärkelsen “mest inflytelserika arbete” vid en internationell fors

Parkinsons sjukdom är starkt kopplad till nedbrytningen av specifika rörelsecentrum i hjärnan. Senaste årtiondet har dock frågan om var sjukdomen tar sin början lett forskare till en annan del i den mänskliga anatomin. År 2003 presenterade den tyska patologen Heiko Braak en teori som föreslog att sjukdomens spridning startade i magtrakten. Tesen har alltsedan, trots högljudda protester, vunnit mar

The economic sanctions against Russian following the invasion of Ukraine are having spillover effects in Central Asia. With the prospect of economic and social strain forcing Russian employers to lay off migrant workers, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan are preparing to receive high numbers of newly unemployed men.

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, some shopping geographies had difficulties while others proved to be more resilient. Devrim Umut Aslan discusses what we can learn from these resilient places. A global pandemic hit the world, radically changing how shoppers shop and how they move around in cities.

Meet Paul Franks... ... Professor of Diabetes Research and sportsman, who raised money for diabetes research by competing in the Copenhagen Ironman* triathlon race a while ago. How have the race and the fundraising gone? “I think it’s gone well. Despite a broken toe, I finished the race in just over 10 hours. I beat my previous Ironman record, which I set in a race 20 years ago. “We have raised ju

Since 24 February, nothing has been the same for Ukrainian researchers. In this urgent situation, we have been able to offer one of them a Ph.D. position. We welcome our new colleague, Nadia Kravchenko, who is eager to share her thoughts about how we may all contribute to this period to be as constructive as possible, despite the threatening circumstances. It is impossible not to be touched by the

Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel

The silencing of social leaders in Colombia who are defending their territories leads to a historical erasure of social struggles, a decreased capacity to progress environmental and human rights, and risks jeopardizing the goal of a stable and durable peace. This is according to a new study from LUCSUS. – The fight for land and the environment is also a fight for human rights, traditions, shared m

The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money.

Economist and researcher Andreas Bergh is closely involved in public debate. Few things make him really angry. One of them is stupidity. Like when the city of Malmö fails to create simple entry-level jobs because of unreasonable demands on people who want to start mobile food trucks. “That is how the sluggish Swedish labour market works. If we dared to shake up the regulations we would gain a lot
