Att vandra i skogen är inte bara en naturupplevelse, det är också en doftsensation. Men en ändrad doft från träden kan vara ett tecken på att skogen är klimatstressad. Detta är resultat som forskare tar med sig in i ett nytt projekt som ska utvärdera konsekvenserna av ett förändrat skogsbruk. Forskningsprojektet koordineras av Lunds universitet och finansieras av EU med 60 miljoner kronor. Kunskap

De senaste decennierna har klimatet i Sverige blivit omkring två grader varmare i genomsnitt och i år har vi kunnat se en rekordmild vinter och tidig vår. Hur svarar då naturen – djur, insekter, växter – på ett allt mildare klimat? Forskare i Lund kan ge svar. Bland annat visar en alldeles färsk studie att vegetationen i Sverige börjar grönska mellan en och två veckor tidigare nu jämfört med för 1

Var fjärde kvinna drabbas varje år av illaluktande flytningar från slidan, bakteriell vaginos. Idag behandlas detta med antibiotika, men nyligen har ett skonsammare, antibiotikafritt alternativ godkänts för försäljning inom EU. Bakom innovationen står en grupp Lundaforskare – som gjorde upptäckten av en slump. Sveda, klåda och illaluktande flytningar är både ett vanligt och ett stigmatiserat tills

Årets prestigefulla Segerfalkföreläsning hålls av Eero Castrén, forskningsdirektor vid Centrum för neuroventenskap vid Helsingfors universitet. I sin forskning om hjärnans plasticitet har han funnit ledtrådar om vilka mekanismer i hjärnan som påverkas av antidepressiva läkemedel – och som kan besvara varför dessa mediciner fungerar. Eero Castrén forskar om hjärnans plasticitet och framför allt är

An international research team has called for a more sober discourse around climate change prospects, following an extensive reassessment of climate change’s progress and its mitigation. They argue that climate change models have understated potential warming’s speed and runaway potential, while the models that relate climate science to consequences, choices and policies have understated the scope

Universal school lunch programs make students healthier, and increase their lifetime income by 3%, according to a unique study from Lund University in Sweden published in The Review of Economic Studies. Health disparities arise early in life and play a major role in economic outcomes among adults. Yet there are few studies on the long-term effects of school-based nutrition policies aimed at counte

Fifty per cent of all pregnant women in need of a C-section are unable to get one. Most people around the world still do not have access to safe surgery, resulting in millions of deaths and disabilities each year. As a paediatric surgeon, Lars Hagander wanted to find ways to help, and has travelled the world to perform surgery. But, of course, this is not enough. A major change is needed. Seibatu
