Today, more than half of the world’s population live in cities, and by mid-century it is predicted that more than two-thirds of the world’s population will live in urban areas. This sees cities at the forefront of sustainability, needing to meet social needs within our ecological boundaries. An overarching guiding roadmap to consider sustainability is the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Go

The Russian invasion of Ukraine raised concerns about Europe’s dependence on Russian natural gas. In a recent interview to Extrakt magazine Professor Aleh Cherp argues that this will increase the interest of European countries to construct new or prolong the operation of existing nuclear power plants. Aleh Cherp notes that such plans exist in the UK, the Netherlands, Poland and France. He also poi

Nudging: A tool for sustainable behaviourSometimes, a gentle nudge is all it takes for us to do the right thing. With a report written by three IIIEE researchers, nudging as a behavioural tool has gained interest among a broad Swedish audience.Most of us wish to make sustainable choices and do well for ourselves as well as for society. Yet, we fail, over and over again. Sometimes though, a gentle

There is a clear and urgent need to accelerate the implementation of sustainability solutions. We must move beyond simple conceptual understanding of solutions, instead experimenting with collaborators in contexts in order to improve effectiveness, share learnings with others, and avoid future mistakes that waste time. In this episode, we discuss nature-based solutions as a holistic approach addre

Hur påverkar våra matvanor kroppens fettdepåer? Var lagras fettet någonstans, hur växer mängden och vilken sorts fett är det? Med avancerad bildteknik kan det för första gången bli möjligt att ge en detaljerad bild av vad som händer i kroppen vid bl.a. fetma och övervikt. I takt med de växande problemen med övervikt görs också nya framsteg inom fetmaforskningen. I en avhandling från Lunds universi

Kan tidiga erfarenheter i livet påverka hur och vad vi äter i vuxen ålder? Det ska ett nytt forskningsprojekt ta reda på med hjälp av drygt 80 miljoner kronor från EU, varav 13 miljoner går till Göteborgs universitet. Forskningsprojektet, som leds av universitetet i Edinburgh, syftar till att undersöka hur våra matvanor utvecklas och hur valet av livsmedel påverkas av hunger, kostnader, stress och

Det har redan tidigare slagits fast att en kost baserad på nordiska livsmedel har flera positiva effekter, bland annat sänkt kolesterol, blodtryck och förbättrad insulinkänslighet. Vissa av de kolesterolsänkande effekterna är relaterade till den förbättrade fettkvaliteten i den nordiska kosten, och vår nordiska grötfrukost kan ha oväntade positiva effekter.

En ny metod gör det möjligt att i stor skala få fram mänskliga embryonala stamceller av hög klinisk kvalitet. Det går dessutom att göra utan att något embryo dödas. Upptäckten innebär ett stort kliv framåt för stamcellsforskningen  och för de stora förhoppningar som finns om att kunna ersätta skadade celler och på så sätt bota svåra sjukdomar som diabetes och Parkinsons sjukdom. I dag hämtas mäns

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har lyckats utveckla en teknik där de över tid och i realtid kan studera den inflammatoriska processen som sker i bukspottkörteln vid utvecklingen av typ 1-diabetes. Tekniken medger visualisering av en mänsklig autoimmun sjukdomssituation i djurmodell och det öppnar avenyer för utvecklingen av medicinsk forskning. Det menar Anja Schmidt-Christensen och Dan Holmberg s
