The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the affected cells. This is shown by two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better understand how the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment actively drive cancer development and spread,” says Vinay Swaminathan, senior lecturer at Lund Univ

Production for the textile and fashion industry can, for many countries, represent a first step out of poverty. But what does this mean for those who work in the sector, and what happens when even poorer countries begin to compete by paying even lower wages for the seamstresses in the factories?

Many believe that the profile areas initiative has been forgotten and is in hibernation, since the government has not reached a decision about a national effort. But that is not the case – at least not at Lund University. When I met the coordinators for the profile areas, they were all able to tell me about exciting new initiatives within research, education and external engagement. Here are a few
