This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Efforts to combat climate change tend to focus on supply-side changes, such as shifting to renewable or cleaner energy. In a Special Issue in the Energy Efficiency Journal that follows the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 ˚C, researchers argue that demand-side approaches can play a crucial role given the a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. “Yes, academic life is uncertain and competitive. However, that’s the case even for those who don’t have families. I don’t think it’s any harder to have children if you are a researcher than in any other line of work.” Olga Göransson is also a member in the network WINGS (Women in Great Sciences). So says Olga Göranss

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The next EU framework programme focuses on “missions” rather than the previous “societal challenges”. This in itself will be a challenge for a university focused on basic research such as LU and will require new working methods among funding bodies and researchers applying for grants, according to research liaison off

In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal

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

As certain tumor cells are able to conceal themselves in the body, it often means that patients with aggressive cancers experience a recurrence of the cancer after treatment. By programming genetically modified killer immune cells to seek and destroy the hiding tumor cells and tumor stem cells, it is hoped that we can develop more effective treatment options. An international research project, wit
