For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

In the future, our clothes will contain a tag that we can scan to access information. This will allow us to see how the garments were produced, where we can have them repaired, and how they can be recycled. Perhaps we will even be able to see who has previously worn the garment or be given the opportunity to rent it out. This spring, an innovation project was launched in which students at Campus H

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

One of MultiPark’s research groups led by Professor Johan Jakobsson has uncovered a previously unknown link between inflammatory responses and the activation of repetitive DNA elements in affected brain regions from Parkinson’s disease patients. Their findings reveal underexplored disease processes and raise hopes of identifying future therapeutic targets. Transposable elements, sometimes called “

Ju mer socker vi äter, desto färre vitaminer och mineraler får vi i oss, visar ny forskning från Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum.

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

Agenda 2030 har fått ett stort genomslag - men bara inom kommunikationen kring hållbarhet. När det gäller verkliga förändringar på nationell och internationell nivå har de endast haft begränsad effekt. Det framgår av den halvtidsutvärdering som 18 forskare publicerat i tidskriften Nature Sustainability. År 2015 antog FN:s medlemsstater Agenda 2030 med 17 mål för en hållbar global utveckling. Enlig
