Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

I sin avhandling i sociologi, som utforskar nya former av arbetsorganisation inom svensk byggindustri, myntar Rasmus Ahlstrand begreppet maskerad bemanning, ett icke-tillåtet sätt att förmedla och använda arbetskraft genom underentreprenörer. Genom att hävda att de lägger ut arbete på entreprenad, maskerar företag att de i själva verket använder principer om bemanning, vilket bland annat innebär a

The agricultural sector and industrial food system is a major contributor to climate change, and biodiversity loss, and particularly vulnerable to its impacts. It is therefore essential to re-think how the agricultural systems can sequester more carbon, and simultaneously create vital ecosystems. A recent research article by LUCSUS researchers Emma Johansson and Sara Brogaard envisions Swedish far

Genom att använda celler från cancerpatienter och blanda dem med en ny teknologi, ”OssiGel", kan man konstruera mänskliga benorgan i miniatyr. Dessa miniatyrer består av mogen ben- och benmärgsvävnad och kan användas som forskningsmodell för att studera sjukdomsmekanismerna bakom cancerformer som uppstår i benmärgen eller sprider sig till skelettet och för att testa nya läkemedel.

En medicinsk upptäckt i forskarvärlden reder sig sällan själv. Den behöver hjälp på traven om den ska lämna universitetet och nå ut till patienten. Och det oavsett hur bra den är. Enligt jämförelser är Sverige bra på att forska men dåligt på att omsätta resultaten till patientnyttiga produkter och försäljning. Det kallas The Swedish Paradox.Sylvie Bove arbetar sedan drygt ett år tillbaka på Lunds
