Farming practices that result in higher levels of carbon in agricultural soils could protect both wheat and barley harvests in a future changed climate. This is what emerges from a new study from Lund University in Sweden. However, the practices required are more costly for farmers in the short term, according to the researchers who argue for targeted environmental payments. Ongoing climate change

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a new study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers investigated the risk factors for blood clots, i.e. venous thromboembolism (VTE). The results show a strong correlation between height and VTE risk for both women and men. The risk increases with height. Tall people have a higher hydrostatic pressure in the bo

By assigning a barcode to stem cells, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made it possible to monitor large blood cell populations as well as individual blood cells, and study the changes over time. Among other things, they discovered that stem cells go through different stages where their ability to restore immune cells varies. The new findings provide important information for the rese

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was clearly illegal. Yet it is unlikely that Vladimir Putin will be held accountable. Most people agree that war is morally wrong. But what is the legal framework? The UN Charter, which in 1945 laid the foundations for the UN's missions, powers, rules of procedure and organisation, prohibits military force between states. However, there are exceptions, such as when the
