With the help of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors, researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have managed to “turn off” an enzyme that proved to play a key role in the regulation of the diabetes-associated TXNIP gene. The results are decreased cell death and increased insulin production in the genetically modified pancreatic beta cells. In a recent study, researchers have conducted an

By analyzing DNA with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), an international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed a method that can accurately date up to ten-thousand year-old human remains. Accurately dating ancient humans is key when mapping how people migrated during world history.The standard dating method since the 1950s has been radiocarbon dating. The method, whi

When young people who have turned their lives around talk about their criminal past, they are trying both to explain their actions and to forge a new identity. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows how stories about honour among thieves, responsibility and coming of age play a key role in helping people move away from a life of crime. A person who has committed crimes but wants to turn

What does online shopping mean for those living in rural areas? A lot, according to researchers in logistics at Lund University. Poorer access to products and services in the countryside makes shopping online an important option. But with an increasing number of e-business services adapted to big cities, rural areas risk being forgotten. E-commerce and logistic services generally work well for tho

Strong ties between forest owners and their land does not automatically translate into greater efforts to promote biodiversity. The current system of voluntary protection also risks overlooking the most valuable natural areas, according to a new doctoral thesis from Lund University. The study is based on interviews with 23 forest owners in southern Sweden. Many express a clear and emotional connec

Unless Sweden and the EU strengthen their digital autonomy, there is a risk of catastrophic consequences. That is the conclusion of Lund University researcher in computer science, Johan Linåker, who considers that we must begin to think about control and maintenance of digital infrastructure in the same way as critical physical infrastructure such as seaports, airports, roads, and water and power

We usually associate ageing with a shrinking life span, sickness and death. The difficulty of imagining ourselves as old means that we go to great lengths to avoid planning for later life. Yet researchers argue that we have everything to gain by looking at life as a journey where preparations for the future provide opportunities for living a full life – until it really is over. We are all aware th
