This leads to older people being more susceptible to anaemia, lowered immunity and a greater risk of developing certain kinds of blood cancer. Now for the first time, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has succeeded in rejuvenating bloo

An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial? If the point is to aid threatened bee species and biodiversity, then a variety of native plants is the way to go. If you are a farmer, with large areas of insect-pollinated crops, it might be easiest to aim for a few species of flo

New research by Teppo Lindfors shows how the sudden collapse of Russian censorship in Finland in 1917 helped spark a revolutionary participation cascade. As radical ideas spread through newspapers and local networks, growing public belief that resistance was possible helped push the country toward civil war. Revolutions often seem to erupt out of nowhere, transforming stable societies into scenes

Alltmer forskning ger stöd för att diabetes kan delas in i fem olika undergrupper. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu undersökt om en persons genetiska risk för olika undergrupper kan användas för att bedöma risken att utveckla kranskärlssjukdom. Forskarlaget utvecklade genetiska riskpoäng och fann att poängen för en undergrupp kunde förutsäga kranskärlssjukdom redan innan en diabetesdiagnos ha
