The researchers believe this rule helps explain why species are spread the way they are across the planet. The discovery will help to understand life on Earth – including how ecosystems respond to global environmental changes. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/umea_university/pressreleases/one-single-rule-helps-explain-life-from-ocean-depths-to-open-savannas-3389967?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://www.mynewsdesk.com/umea_university/pressreleases/one-single-rule-helps-explain-life-from-ocean-depths-to-open-savannas-3389967?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news Umeå universitet Mon, 02 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000 Empathy is often seen as a natural and essential part of the patient encounter – but reality tends to look quite different. In a new doctoral thesis from Umeå University, doctors describe how not only time pressure, but also the structure of medical education and the culture of the workplace, can make it difficult to live up to the ideal. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/umea_university/pressreleases/doctors-struggle-with-empathy-in-a-high-pressure-work-environment-3389166?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://www.mynewsdesk.com/umea_university/pressreleases/doctors-struggle-with-empathy-in-a-high-pressure-work-environment-3389166?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news Umeå universitet Wed, 28 May 2025 08:15:00 +0000 The UID25 | Design Talks & Degree Show on June 3 showcases innovative mobility projects by Umeå Institute of Design graduates.

The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may therefore be a target for research into new treatments for pancreatic cancer, which is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/umea_university/pressreleases/new-cells-in-connective-tissue-open-up-for-strategy-against-pancreatic-cancer-3382619?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://www.mynewsdesk.com/umea_university/pressreleases/new-cells-in-connective-tissue-open-up-for-strategy-against-pancreatic-cancer-3382619?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news Umeå universitet Fri, 04 Apr 2025 11:40:00 +0000 Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the mechanism of how bacteria build up defences against being infected by viruses. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/umea_university/pressreleases/discovery-of-bacterias-defence-against-viruses-becomes-a-piece-of-the-puzzle-against-resistance-3379286?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://www.mynewsdesk.com/umea_university/pressreleases/discovery-of-bacterias-defence-against-viruses-becomes-a-piece-of-the-puzzle-against-resistance-3379286?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news Umeå universitet Wed, 02 Apr 2025 08:00:00 +0000 Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden, in collaboration with scientists from Finland, Vietnam, India, and Italy, have developed a catalytic system to convert lignin structures into highly valuable chemicals.
