Martino Avallone spent the past four years developing tools for mapping gene expression and proteins in the brain to investigate basic biological questions and to elucidate the molecular mysteries contributing to Parkinson’s disease. On 29 September, he defends his thesis work done in the Molecular Neuromodulation research group. Here, he explains the impact these tools will hopefully have in scie

Several inaccuracies in historical CPIs in popular online databases have been discovered, according to new research by Jonas Ljungberg at Lund University, published in Cliometrica. This can have major consequences for both research and the decisions politicians make regarding economic policy. Jonas Ljungberg needed access to different European countries' consumer price indices (CPIs) for the last

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A few weeks after the terrorist attack on Drottninggatan in Stockholm, researchers caution against describing reality as a black-and-white struggle between good and evil. If you want to protect society against extremism, it is important that you understand how and why it occurs. Although radicalised youth who return f

Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer. Genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) is an emerging approach for disease treatment. Around 30 Swedish researchers suggest a direction forward in a review article in Journal of Internal Medicine (JIM). "At the moment newborns are screened for a small number of mutations. In the

Men with severely reduced fertility are at greater risk of developing other health conditions later in life. A research team from Lund University in Sweden has now shown that these men are also more likely to develop colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer. The link between male infertility and an increased risk of disease is a relatively new area of research in reproductive health. Previous studies

A Swedish multi-centre study led by researchers at Lund University shows a link between low fibre consumption and the presence of unstable or high-risk plaque in coronary arteries – the type of plaque that can trigger blood clots and cause heart attacks. The study also links dietary pattern to the composition of the plaques, i.e. how potentially dangerous they are. Using advanced cardiac imaging,

Modern RNA-sekvensering kan ge bröstcancervården värdefulla ledtrådar och matcha enskilda patienter till rätt behandling – utifrån tumörens unika egenskaper och genuttryck. I en aktuell studie har data och genuttryck från drygt 7 700 cancertumörer använts för att utveckla vässade analysmodeller av RNA-sekvenseringen; en analys av ett enskilt vävnadsprov kan beskriva flera av tumörens egenskaper.

Veganska livsmedel ratas ofta på grund av sin gummiliknande konsistens. Nu har livsmedelsteknikforskare i Lund utvecklat ett sätt att göra veganmat aptitlig för fler. Nyligen utvärderades ett antal krispiga och ”köttiga” växtbiffar. Flera fick högt betyg men en stack ut som vinnare. Textur och temperatur är precis lika viktigt som smaken för hur maten upplevs i munnen.– På engelska brukar man prat
