A unique study has analyzed in detail how EU agricultural subsidies flow down to the local level. The new data show that most income support payments go to intensively farmed regions already above median EU income, while climate-friendly and biodiverse farming regions, as well as poorer regions, are insufficiently funded. Consequently, the majority of payments are going to the regions causing the

During the fetal stage, a number of so-called cell programs run that are vital to the development of the fetus. In a study published in Cell Reports, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University demonstrate that one of these fetal programs appears to protect against acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). “We have used an experimental mouse model that always results in this type of leukaemia.

Using a torch, a camera, a water bottle and pieces of Lego, Emanuel Larsson built a scanner now used as a prototype to develop future beamlines at ESS. It was late on a Friday evening in December three years ago that Emanuel Larsson, a postdoc in solid mechanics, started constructing a tomography scanner out of objects he found in his kitchen at home. ‟At the time, the aim was to be able to explai

There is an increasing awareness that pollinating insects need flowers rich in pollen and nectar. A new study shows that trees can be just as important for survival – at least for the red mason bee, and probably for other wild bees too. Researchers have investigated the types of habitats and flowers in the agricultural landscape that benefit the reproduction of the red mason bee – a common solitar
