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

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”? Väderattribution är ett nytt fenomen som håller på att ändra på detta. Klimatforskare Wilhelm May på Lunds universitet hjä

Apokalyptiska föreställningar är lika gammalt som människan själv. Så varför dras vi till berättelser om alltings ändlighet? En grupp forskare försöker förstå frågan. – Faktum är att vi alltid har varit lika nära eller lika långt ifrån en apokalyps, om vi med det menar en global katastrof som utraderar eller radikalt förändrar livet. Tanken på att det mänskliga livet är bräckligt och kan få ett ab

Sprutbytet i Malmö startade för 35 år sedan och var då ett kontroversiellt projekt. Fram till 2006 var det förbjudet i svensk lag att bedriva sprutbyte på andra orter än Lund och Malmö. Men forskningen kring smittspridning talar sitt tydliga språk och idag finns sprutbyte på ett flertal platser i Sverige. Här erbjuds en svårnådd grupp behandling och på sikt en drogfri tillvaro. Klockan är tio på m

How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th

En del kan man själv påverka och behandla - exempelvis höga blodfetter, högt blodtryck eller rökning – medan andra är förutbestämda – som ålder och kön. Till den senare kategorin hör också ärftlighet.

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud
