När ett barn visar sig ha nedsatt hörsel – tänk då på att orsaken kan vara mitokondriell sjukdom. Det rådet ger Lundaforskare som tillsammans med amerikanska kollegor undersökt ett ovanligt stort antal personer med mitokondriell sjukdom. De har sett att det är avgörande var i DNA mutationen finns för när hörselnedsättningen debuterar. På det amerikanska sjukhuset Children´s hospital of Philadelphi

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Första januari 2019 stod i Sverige 666 personer i kö för att få en ny njure, många av dem var diabetiker. En del hinner bli mycket sjuka, några hinner dö, innan det finns en lämplig njure att transplantera. Trots en ökning av antalet donatorer de senaste åren är organbristen konstant och värre än i många andra lände

As the year draws to a close, we look back on a selection of activities, results, and achievements at LUSEM and across Lund University. How often do you get to be the best in the world at something? Even more meaningful when it's for leading the way in sustainability — as Lund University was recently ranked #1 globally by QS.There we can probably leave the broader LU perspective behind and focus s

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There are ways to

For hundreds of years, people have made a living from livestock herding in rural Kenya. Today, their traditional way of life is increasingly burdened by the effects of climate change and population growth. In his doctoral thesis, Billy Jones examines why development aid projects in the region often fail – and how sustainable progress could instead be achieved with the help of local actors. Thirtee
