Few research publications reach outside the realm of academia and even fewer make an impact on sustainability debates and societal issues. Kimberly Nicholas’ research on lifestyle choices to reduce your carbon footprint is unique in its reach and impact on society. Her research started with a question, asked by friends and students: what can I do for the climate that really makes a difference? Kim

When physical geographer Daniel Metcalfe explains what he does in the simplest possible way, he says he examines holes in leaves. However, the project is far more sophisticated than that, and could lead to a better way of caring for the forests of the world in the future. Daniel Metcalfe is an associate senior lecturer at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science. A couple of mont

Det är dubbelt så vanligt att barn och ungdomar som har insulinpump drabbas av syraförgiftning jämfört med dem som tar insulininjektioner. Syraförgiftning är ett farligt tillstånd men i de allra flesta fall är det inte pumpens fel. Insulinpumpar har flera fördelar. Den främsta, vilket många undersökningar visar, är att de ofta gör det lättare att hålla en bra kontroll på blodsockret.Ännu fler unde

Idag är Alzheimers sjukdom den vanligaste dödsorsaken för personer med Downs syndrom. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har därför, i samarbete med Alzheimer’s Biomarker Consortium – Down Syndrome i USA, undersökt biomarkörer i blodplasman hos denna grupp. Dessa markörer kan hjälpa till att förutsäga framtida förändringar i hjärnan och kognitiv nedsättning vid Alzheimers sjukdom, för personer med Dow

Mångårig diabetes, höga blodsocker och högt blodtryck – är de tre viktigaste riskfaktorerna för diabetiska ögonskador. En 73 årig kvinna i Brasilien har dem alla men hon har inte ett spår av ögonförändringar trots att hon haft typ 1 diabetes i 69 år. Hon och andra enstaka som slipper komplikationer kan ge forskarna viktiga ledtrådar att nysta i. En stor majoritet av alla diabetiker får ögonförändr

What would happen if all petrol and diesel-powered vehicles were removed from a smaller European city? Up to 4% of all premature deaths could be prevented, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers used Malmö, Sweden, as a case study to calculate the health costs of inner city traffic. Every year, over 400,000 people in Europe die prematurely due to air pollution - a

All diabetics who developed the disease before the age of six months should be tested for a certain genetic mutation. Some of them might not need insulin injections but could manage their disease just as well, or better, with a simple tablet. “Neonatal diabetes is an uncommon form of diabetes caused by a genetic mutation, which means that insulin is not secreted in the right way”, says Sten Ivarss

Through a detailed study of leukaemia cells from more than 200 children, a research group at Lund University in Sweden has discovered two new types of childhood leukaemia. Using next-generation sequencing technology (NGS), the researchers were able to study the genome of cancer cells, which is how they discovered the new types of cancer. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is a rare disease, but the mos

For the first time, researchers have been able to prove that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky. Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient themselves. The findings are published in Current Biology. Some animals, including migratory birds, seals and moths, use light from the moon, stars and Milky Wa
