Why do some people develop type 1 diabetes and others do not? Worldwide, researchers are now collaborating to find the answer to this complex question. Diabetes researchers at Lund University recently contributed data to a new study that shows that type 1 diabetes develops in three different ways in children. This improved understanding makes it possible for scientists to conduct new types of stud

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate

Lack of habitats and climate change – parameters that scientists know affect the number of pollinators in the world. But exactly how big is the effect and what else contributes to the decline of bees and bumblebees? This has Maria Blasi i Romero tried to find out in her dissertation which will be presented on November 26. A sure sign of spring is the buttery yellow rapeseed fields that every year

Singing can be a real health boost. Song involves your emotions, thoughts and body; the feelgood hormone oxytocin surges and the stress hormone cortisol declines. Singing accompanies us from the cradle to the grave, and binds us together as human beings. But what do kids sing in school, how much, and in what way? David Johnson, researcher at the Malmö Academy of Music, investigates this in his the

The new UN climate report shows that the zero emissions goal for 2050 is achievable. However, it will require major changes in all sectors – not least in industry, which currently accounts for a large proportion of global emissions. The researchers identified several sustainable paths forward, but some sectors – above all in plastics and chemicals – are still searching for potential transition rou

Our DNA is very similar to that of the chimpanzee, which in evolutionary terms is our closest living relative. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now found a previously overlooked part of our DNA, so-called non-coded DNA, that appears to contribute to a difference which, despite all our similarities, may explain why our brains work differently. The study is published in the jo

Many of those who are genetically predisposed to develop atrial fibrillation, which dramatically raises the risk of stroke, can be identified with a blood test. This is shown by new research from Lund University in Sweden. The number of people affected by atrial fibrillation is rising rapidly, partly as a result of the ageing population. Over recent years, a research group at Lund University in Sw
