This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a major study of hereditary breast cancer, a global network of researchers (including some from Lund University) has identified over 350 faults in DNA that increase an individual’s risk of developing the disease. The researchers believe that these faults can affect as many as 190 genes. Published in Nature Genetics

When in life we gain weight can have a significant impact on our health many years later. In a study involving over 600,000 people, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated how changes in weight between the ages of 17 and 60 are linked to the risk of dying from various diseases. The results show a clear pattern: weight gain early in adulthood has the greatest impact. It has long

What are AI writing tools and how do they affect our assessments? Three main options for considering AI writing tools in assessment are: 1. to ban their use, 2. to assume that they may be used, and set tasks which incorporate them or 3. require them to be used – to fully incorporate the tools in the assessment.

The metal recycling industry is growing, not least due to the use of metals in green energy electronic components. Researchers at Lund University have examined the inhaled air of workers at 13 recycling companies in Sweden. Among the results, high levels of lead in air and elevated levels of multiple metals were detected in the blood of those who work in recycling. Different forms of metals are in

I-PROTECT är ett nytt skadepreventionsprogram för ungdomshandboll i Sverige som utvecklats av forskare vid Lunds universitet i nära samarbete med spelare och tränare. Programmet genomförs inom den ordinarie träningen och kombinerar fysiska och mentala övningar. En studie visar nu att I-PROTECT är minst lika lätt att följa som handbollens etablerade uppvärmningsprogram. Skador inom handbollen är va
