The HLF gene is necessary for maintaining our blood stem cells in a resting state, which is crucial for ensuring normal blood production. This has been shown by a new research study from Lund University in Sweden published in Cell Reports. “The study confirms several previous studies that show the HLF gene’s significance in blood formation”, says Mattias Magnusson who led the new study. The result

Archaeologist Greer Jarrett’s research focuses on reconstructing Viking sailing routes and cartography. To do so, he learnt to sail boats similar to those sailed by the Vikings and set off out to sea. He likens the sailors of that time to today’s extreme athletes. “I started a fairly theoretical doctoral thesis on reconstructing Viking sailing routes, but I wanted practical experience from a sailo

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

Med omkring 600 000 patienter i Sverige och 350 miljoner patienter i andra länder är diabetes en av världens stora folksjukdomar. Det "Stora nordiska priset" från Eric K Fernströms stiftelse, med en prissumma på en miljon kronor, går nu till den internationellt kände diabetesforskaren Leif Groop från Lunds universitet. Leif Groops specialitet har kallats för "genfiske". Det handlar om att ur den m

Den pågående debatten om LCHF-dieten har kanske missat en bit… Att vår livsstil påverkar hälsan är inget nytt men vad spelar generna för roll i detta sammanhang? Sedan bara några år tillbaka är det möjligt att studera alla människans gener och vi kan i dag börja lägga ihop pusslet om hur kost och gener samspelar för att kunna förebygga olika sjukdomar. Våra senaste resultat visar att kost och gene

Eldhärjade skogsområden i Norden fortsätter att avge koldioxid långt efter att lågorna slocknat. Utsläppen är till och med betydligt högre efter en brand, än medan den pågår. Det visar en ny unik studie från Lunds universitet, där effekten av den omfattande skogsbranden i Ljusdal den torra sommaren 2018 har studerats. Att klimatförändringen, med stigande temperaturer som följd, ökar risken för sko

Alla som har fått diagnosen diabetes före sex månaders ålder bör testa sig. En del av dem behöver inte insulin. De klarar sig lika bra eller till och med bättre med tabletter, kanske helt utan medicinering. Nyföddhetsdiabetes är ovanligt, hur ovanligt är det ingen som riktigt vet.I den svenska undersökningen Bättre Diagnostik av Diabetes (BDD), där i stort sett alla under 18 år som får diabetes re

Ett naturligt ämne från äppelträdets bark har potential att förändra den vanligaste dialysbehandlingen i hemmet. Ämnet blockerar nämligen cellerna från att ta upp glukos från dialysvätskan, vilket effektiviserar vattenborttagning och förhindrar viktökning. Upptäckten som publiceras i Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, markerar ett paradigmskifte menar forskaren och ST-läkaren Carl Öber

In many ways, Swedish industrialisation began in the home. Women spun, wove and sewed clothes for payment in between their daily agricultural tasks, food preparation and childcare. But didn’t all industrial production gradually move into the factories? ‟No, it didn’t. That is a common misconception,” says economic historian Malin Nilsson, who is researching paid home industry work. ‟That is an ove

The state is a necessity for implementing human rights, right? Starting her PhD thesis, Dr. Therese Boje Mortensen wanted to challenge the presumptions behind this philosophy, studying the case of NGOs in India. Five years later, we have the results. In December of 2023, Dr. Therese Boje Mortensen successfully defended her dissertation NGOs as Child Rights Implementers in India at Lund University.
