For the first time, researchers have linked specific frequent defects in sperm to risk of pregnancy complications and negative impacts on the health of the baby. The study from Lund University in Sweden shows that high proportion of father’s spermatozoa possessing DNA strand breaks is associated with doubled risk of preeclampsia in women who have become pregnant by IVF. It also increases the risk

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

Forskare har för första gången identifierat en tidigare okänd försvarsmekanism i aggressiva hjärntumörer: en sockerrik sköld som omger tumörceller och som skyddar dem mot en särskilt destruktiv form av celldöd.

Med hjälp av maskininlärning och en stor mängd data om gener och befintliga läkemedel, har lundaforskare identifierat en kombination av statiner och fentiaziner som särskilt lovande vid behandling av den aggressiva formen av neuroblastom. I experimentella studier – i möss med mänskliga tumörceller – visade resultaten på bromsad tumörtillväxt och längre överlevnad. Ovanlig men allvarlig form av bar

Vad innehåller egentligen ett andetag – och hur påverkar luften vi andas vår hälsa och samhället i stort? Och hur skyddar vi oss från eventuella hot i den livsnödvändiga luften? Det är frågor som det nya forskningsprojekt ATLAS vill besvara genom att följa luftens påverkan från molekyl till samhälle. Projektet har fått Vetenskapsrådets ”Nätverksbidrag för planering av framtida excellenskluster för

Inkomst- och utbildningsnivån i uppväxtmiljön är det som avgör barns relation till naturen, och inte om barnen bor i stan eller på landet. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Resultatet går emot föreställningen att en uppväxt på landet per automatik ökar naturkontakten, samtidigt som studien visar att natur inpå knuten gynnar barns välmående. Det finns en generell oro för att människor

Att det är en konst att skriva bra flervalsfrågor är det nog många lärare som håller med om. Flervalsfrågor, på engelska kallade Multiple Choice Questions eller MCQ, är så kallade stängda frågor, där den som svarar får välja bland ett antal givna svarsalternativ istället för att själv formulera ett svar.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Inflammation is a natural reaction of the body’s immune system to an aggressor or an injury, but if the inflammatory response is too strong it becomes harmful. Inflammatory processes occur in the brain in conjunction with stroke and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers from Lu

Over the past few years, we have been working to develop a Core Curriculum for doctoral education at the faculty. This initiative has grown out of a need that has become increasingly clear: that our doctoral students should not only develop deep specialist knowledge through their research projects, but also the broader competencies that are part of doctoral education.The background for this work a

The owlet, little over three weeks old, squints slightly as Hannah Watson lays it on its back in a plastic container that once held vanilla ice cream. It seems quite happy there. Things get a little trickier when the owlet is to be measured, weighed and swabbed for bacterial samples from both front and behind. Finally, a little prick with a needle to see whether it is a male or female, and whether

The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Not only does a successful researcher need to produce good research, their findings must also be visible among tough comp
