Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated how the X and Y chromosomes evolve and adapt to each other within a population. The results show that breaking up coevolved sets of sex chromosomes could lead to lower survival rates among the offspring – something that could be of importance in species conservation, for example. The study is published in the journal PNAS. The results prov

Generative AI is a topic that currently engages many of us. It is present in corridor conversations, in our teaching and in the way we work. Even if not all the work is yet visible, a great deal is happening – both at the university-wide level and here at the Faculty – to understand what this means for our programmes and how we can best embrace AI in our activities.For the Faculty leadership, this

In a new observational study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden looked at all children listed for heart transplants in the Nordic countries between 1986 and 2023. A total of 597 children were included in the study, 461 of whom received a transplant. The results show that survival rates have increased significantly over time despite the modest volumes in the region – a development that the r

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The earth is both inundated and drying up. Water supply is a complex phenomenon that has probably never been more complicated – or more important – than now. Kenneth M. Persson is a professor of water resources engineering and he took the initiative for Lund University’s Water Portal, which involves over 200 (!) water

The information age predates the internet by a long stretch – it began with life itself. Nobel Laureate Craig C. Mello described at the Lund Spring Symposium in May how living organisms are not merely carriers of genes, but also active managers, defenders, and editors of genetic information. Craig Mello, who received the Nobel Prize in 2006 for the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi), together wi

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. After climate change, biodiversity loss is the biggest environmental challenge facing the world today. The loss of plant and animal species also means a loss of the resources that humans obtain from well-functioning ecosystems. At Lund University, a project is underway in which researchers are studying how work to cou

Over one hundred million years ago, the impact of an asteroid on the moon formed the giant crater Tycho, which is visible from Earth. The date of this event is established as being 109 million years ago, but a new doctoral thesis from Lund University in Sweden has now shown that the crater is probably much older. For several hundred years, humans have been fascinated by the Tycho crater, which is
