Over millions of years retroviruses have been incorporated into our human DNA, where they today make up almost 10 per cent of the total genome. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has now discovered a mechanism through which these retroviruses may have an impact on gene expression. This means that they may have played a significant role in the development of the human brain as well as in

As of January 1, EpiHealth has new board members. The board consists of researchers from both Lund University and Uppsala University. Karin Broberg is a professor of occupational and environmental medicine and her research focuses on how the environment - via the job or surroundings - can affect the body and cause disease. She uses various biomarkers in studies on humans, so-called molecular epide

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Light of a certain wavelength can be used to put so-called active materials into motion and control their movement. In the future, this discovery can become significant in widely different areas such as environmental protection, medicine and the development of new materials which can be programmed.

It is Thursday morning and time for the miniature brains to have lunch. The temperature in the cell incubator is a comfortable 37 degrees, perfect for a tiny brain. Anna Falk prepares the nutrient solution that the cells need to grow. These are cells that have made the remarkable transformation from skin cells to stem cells and then to brain neurons. The small model of the brain is called an organ

Photo by M.Accelertor on Unsplash It is not necessarily the students who need to join a lecture via Zoom; sometimes the lecturer is the one taking part remotely. This is very practical for guest lecturers who are very far away and can thereby avoid a long trip. It also opens up opportunities for simple collaborations between higher education institutions. The solution will be different depending o

During the pandemic, physical summits were replaced by Zoom meetings, and global political leaders had to quickly adjust. How did they visually convey their status in this new world of digital diplomacy? A new study from Lund University in Sweden analysed over 50 photos from the first virtual G20 meeting in 2020. When political leaders meet, there is usually a strict protocol, and national attribu

A team of NanoLund researchers sought ways to make students understand what is actually happening inside the “magic black box” of a commercial spectrophotometer.  “This set promotes discovery in a natural and self-motivating way. By changing samples in the spectrometer, we can explore a variety of materials and their properties,” says NanoLundian Jens Uhlig, one of the researchers behind the work.

Covid-19 and the subsequent closure of universities around the world have meant that we all quickly had to learn how to teach remotely. Educators all over the world have gathered experiences and evaluated them, and talk about the present as a "new normal" where both teachers and students expect universities to take advantage of knowledge and skills acquired during the pandemic.
