Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

Where will the chemists and the physicists be located in the future? A recent report shows that it will be much more expensive to move to Science Village than if they stay on Sölvegatan. The evaluation report compares three options: Chemistry and physics establish activities in Science Village and move thereKemicentrum is renovated and expanded, and the physicists move in there to be with the chem

Konsten och kulturen har förmågan att göra oss medvetna om vårt förhållande till oss själva och andra, världen och vår tid. Med existentiell hållbarhet som samlande begrepp kan vi utforska nya vinklar och öppna upp för nya samarbeten menar Anna Lyrevik, rektorsråd vid Lunds universitet och med stor erfarenhet av att driva kulturfrämjande projekt i olika former. – Min mission är att vi hittar en bä

– Sanitation is a major challenge in India. It is partly to do with the high population density, there are more people sharing the same space, and a historically higher cultural and religious acceptance of poor sanitation, says Sara Gabrielsson from Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, LUCSUS. Her research focus is on sanitation, health and sustainability. She is currently in India,

What does the origin of life on Earth have to do with malignant tumour cells? In an unusual research project, a geochemist and a tumour biologist have joined forces to explain the emergence of animals in a new way, thereby questioning one of the cornerstones of evolution. Geochemist Emma Hammarlund is excited to see what kind of response she and Sven Påhlman will get based on their conclusions. We

Aiming for blue Beijing skies An increasingly ambitious environmental legislation has not reduced economic growth in the EU – indicating it will not do so in China either. This is good news for Chinese environmentalists, who have asked IIIEE researchers for evidence that supports their work for a greener China under bluer skies.Over the past few decades China has experienced a remarkable period of

There is nothing to indicate that sexual harassment is more common at the University than in other workplaces. However, different relationships of a dependent nature complicate the situation, such as that between doctoral student and supervisor. Few people choose to report harassment. "One of the reasons is fear of personal consequences", says Anette Agardh, who led a research-based project on har

James Surmeier, professor at Northwestern University, recently visited Lund University where he gave the 2018 Segerfalk Lecture. In this interview, he talks about how technology is helping brain research to advance, about almost giving up research altogether – and the discovery that could slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

Does green growth exist? Can we achieve a sustainable society with a GDP that grows year after year? Not if you ask Timothée Parrique. He is the economist who defied all the good advice and chose to research degrowth. Now his thesis has been downloaded 27,000 times, and he is a sought-after lecturer worldwide.

Under de senaste åren har såväl forskare vid Lunds universitet som flera andra internationella forskargrupper framgångsrikt publicerat nya rön kring tidig och korrekt diagnostik av demenssjukdomar. Men fortsatt tar diagnostiken lång tid och kräver dyr och avancerad teknik.

Har du märkt att forskares svar på frågor om en särskild extremväderhändelse beror på klimatförändringen eller inte brukar lyda något i stil med “Det passar in i mönstret, men vi kan inte säga med säkerhet att just denna händelse blivit värre på grund av klimatförändringarna”?

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har identifierat en ny mekanism som kopplar metabolismen av RNA, ribonukleinsyra, till utvecklingen av leukemi hos patienter med blodsjukdomen myelodysplastiskt syndrom, MDS. När viktiga komponenter i RNA-metabolismen störs, ökar antalet genetiska mutationer vilket leder till utveckling av cancer. Studien publiceras i Molecular Cell. Vår genetiska information

Many people feel mentally unwell during the pandemic, especially, it seems, those who are already exposed to socio-economic inequalities. But who really suffers the most when restrictions, loneliness, depression have become commonplace?
