Death in the form of a skeleton with a scythe is a familiar figure of dread, but death and dying do not have to be frightening. “Death does not have to be marked by fear; it can just as often be characterised by calm and quiet.

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

In a recent study from Lund University, researchers have discovered that metabolic changes in the blood cell, affect the development of blood during the fetal stage. They found a previously unknown metabolic regulator - a kind of switch - which turns out to be crucial for how different types of blood cells develop. In the long run, this could mean that natural killer cells, a type of white blood c
Our Themes are currently all busy with organising their final events and precisely at the same time, the cycle of our new Themes begins. “Breathless with anticipation”, the coordinators have started the practical planning for all involved researchers to be able to spend one day a week at Pufendorf IAS, starting in September.

Solar energy stored in the form of fuel is something scientists hope could partially replace fossil fuels in the future. Researchers may have solved a long-standing problem that has hindered the development of sustainable solar fuels. If solar energy can be used more efficiently using iron-based systems, this could pave the way for cheaper solar fuels. “We can now see previously hidden mechanisms

Pollinators such as bees, bumblebees, and butterflies lack sufficient habitats, and the ones that do exist are often of inadequate quality. A new study conducted by researchers from more than 20 academic institutions – including CEC and the Department of Biology at Lund University – shows that these insects can benefit from increasing the area of their habitats significantly more than what is curr
