Men with higher exposure to the substance DEHP, a so-called phthalate, have lower sperm motility and may therefore experience more difficulties conceiving children, according to a Lund University study. Phthalates is an umbrella term for a group of substances based on phthalic acid, some of which are suspected to be e

Is it possible that a single biomarker can detect all types of diseases related to dopamine deficiency in the brain? Yes, that's what a research group in Lund is discovering. "We have observed that an enzyme in cerebrospinal fluid and in blood is a useful marker for identifying all types of Parkinson's-related diseases with high accuracy," says Oskar Hansson, who led the study.

On 11 April, Réka Tölg defended her doctoral thesis ‘The (im)possibilities of circular consumption: Producing and performing circular clothing consumption in retail and household settings’. The thesis examines how circular consumption actually happens in everyday life, and what obstacles arise in an economy that is fundamentally designed to promote linear consumption. The circular economy is often

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Our opinions are affected by what our eyes are focusing on in the same instant we make moral decisions. Researchers at Lund University and other institutions have managed to influence people’s responses to questions such as “is murder defensible?” by tracking their eye movements. When the participants had looked at a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new method to treat human herpes viruses. The new broad-spectrum method targets physical properties in the genome of the virus rather than viral proteins, which have previously been targeted. The treatment consists of new molecules that penetrate the protein s

More than half of our genome consists of transposons, DNA sequences that are reminiscent of ancient, extinct viruses. Transposons are normally silenced by a process known as DNA methylation, but their activation can lead to serious diseases. Very little is known about transposons but researchers in an international collaboration project have now succeeded for the first time in studying what happen

Naturen är för många en källa till återhämtning och välmående. Men forskning visar att det också finns en växande andel personer som upplever negativa känslor, som rädsla, obehag eller till och med avsky. Fenomenet, kallat biofobi, uppmärksammas nu i ny forskning från Lunds universitet. – Forskning har länge utgått från att människor i grunden känner positiva känslor inför naturen. Vi har undersök

En ny studie visar att fjärilar som lever i städer har utvecklat speciella anpassningar för att utnyttja den varmare och längre sommarsäsongen som är typisk för städer jämfört med omgivande områden. Detta beror sannolikt på att städer utgör så kallade urbana värmeöar i landskapet. Experiment med två olika arter, rapsfjäril och rutig buskmätare, i Stockholm och Helsingfors visar att fjärilspopulati

I en ny avhandling från Lunds universitet intervjuar genusvetaren Marco Bacio manliga sexarbetare i Sverige och Italien. Det som förvånade honom mest var att en majoritet av sexarbetarna tillhörde en välutbildad medelklass. Kvinnligt sexarbete – som är långt vanligare än manligt – är väl beforskat runt om i världen. Män som säljer sex däremot har enligt Marco Bacio inte uppmärksammats i samma grad

Honor och hanar av fiskarten ruda reagerar olika på rovdjursframkallad stress, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Hanarna förändrar sitt utseende genom att växa på höjden för att undkomma glupska rovfiskar. Denna egenskap saknas helt hos honorna som därför oftare slukas av större fiskar. Vissa djur har utvecklat förmågan att ändra utseende för att försvara sig mot rovdjur om det behövs. S

Med hjälp av en superdatorsimulering har ett forskarlag lyckats följa en galax utveckling under 13,8 miljarder år. Studien visar hur unga och kaotiska galaxer, tack vare interstellära frontalkrockar, med tiden mognar till stabila spiralgalaxer, som exempelvis Vintergatan. Efter big bang för 13,8 miljarder år sedan var världsrymden ett veritabelt vilda västern. Galaxer kolliderade. Stjärnor bildade

Med hjälp av en matematisk modell har forskare lyckats koppla samman bekräftade covid-19-fall med intensivvårdsinskrivningar och dödsfall. Modellen, som gör det möjligt att förutse och planera sjukvårdsbelastning, kan bli värdefull under den pågående pandemin samt vid framtida epidemier. Det är med hjälp av en så kallad FIR-modell (en typ av filter för digitala system) som ett svenskt forskarlag,
