US cities facing sea level rise need to look beyond traditional strategies for managing issues such as critical erosion and coastal squeeze, according to new research from Lund University. Civil society initiatives must now play a crucial role in adapting society to climate change, the study argues. Using the City of Flagler Beach in Florida as a case study, researcher Chad Boda illustrates that t

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

The brain has its own cleaning system that removes harmful substances while we sleep and protects it from diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Neuroscientists at Lund University in Sweden have now imaged the cleaning system in 3D, indicating that it is substantially more developed than previously thought.
