För första gången har forskare kopplat specifika defekter i spermier till graviditetskomplikationer och negativ effekt på barnets hälsa. Studien från Lunds universitet visar att DNA-skador på pappans spermier fördubblar risken för havandeskapsförgiftning för kvinnor som blivit gravida genom IVF. Dessutom ökar risken för barnet att födas för tidigt. Ungefär 20–30 procent av alla barn som föds med h

Sixty-six million years ago, a gigantic celestial body crashed to Earth on the Yucatán peninsula, forming a crater 200 kilometres across. The impact plunged Earth into darkness and killed off the dinosaurs. Now, researchers from Lund University in Sweden, among others, are analysing drill cores from the crater to reconstruct in detail what happened on Earth directly after the impact. The Chicxulub

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. This means you can use bacteria to determine whether someone has just been to the beach, got off the train in the city

I en studie som nyligen publicerades i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Brain Communications presenterade forskare från Institutionen för klinisk vetenskap och enheten för Klinisk minnesforskning vid Lunds universitet resultat som visar att det finns genetiska riskmarkörer för typ 2-diabetes som kan vara kopplade till en ökad risk för demenssjukdom. Det betyder att en ärftlighet för diabetes också ka

Personer som framgångsrikt behandlats för medfödda hjärtfel tidigt i livet drabbas som vuxna i högre grad av åderförkalkning. Det visar resultat från en studie som genomförts av forskare på Skånes universitetssjukhus och vid Lund universitet. Tack vare framgångsrika behandlingar och operationer överlever allt fler barn med medfödda hjärtfel. Men samtidigt finns en risk för komplikationer senare i

Det är väl känt att våra muskler blir svagare med åren liksom att träning motverkar processen. Mindre känt är vad som egentligen händer i skelettmuskelcellerna, varför deras kapacitet att generera energi, minskar med åren. Nu vet vi mer tack vare den atlas över genaktiviteten i muskelcellen i förhållande till åldrandet som forskare på Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum tagit fram i ett internation

När det är ont om vårdplatser på ett sjukhus ökar risken för att patienter skrivs ut alltför tidigt. Därmed ökar i sin tur risken för att patienterna blir dåliga på nytt och måste tas in på sjukhuset igen. En studie från Lunds universitet kan nu visa belägg för det här sambandet, som många läkare länge misstänkt. – När jag redogjort för studien för kollegor på olika håll, så är det ingen som blivi

Vill du gå ned i vikt? Ät inte så mycket! Det låter självklart. Nu är det också vetenskapligt visat. Minska på fettet eller på kolhydraterna? Det fungerar, bara du minskar på något. – Det enda som betyder något för att du ska gå ner i vikt är mängden mat du äter, inte om det är proteiner eller kolhydrater eller något annat, säger Frank Sacks, professor på Harvard-universitetet i USA till Sveriges

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har tillsammans med amerikanska kollegor studerat avlidna patienter, som fått diagnosen Alzheimers sjukdom eller frontotemporal demens och sett att vissa proteiner samvarierar med den demenssjukes benägenhet att begå en kriminell handling. – Den här studien är unik i det avseendet att vi har studerat avlidna patienter, något som gör att vi är hundra procent säkra på
