This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Over the past 50 years, the water in lakes and watercourses has turned increasingly brown. The so-called browning has a negative impact on both drinking water production and ecosystems. If nothing is done, the water is likely to turn even browner – however, there is hope. Supported by a new study, researchers from Lun

Gene expression inside Parkinson’s disease patient’s brain cells seems to trigger structural changes of the Parkinson-linked protein alpha-synuclein. This was discovered when MultiPark researchers converted skin cells from Parkinson patients into midbrain cells in the dish. The study was published in Acta Neuropathologica Communications. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder lin

Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center highlight the importance of controlling viral elements that reside in the genome and how their activation during development may contribute to brain disorders later in life. Around 10% of the human genome is composed of DNA sequences originating from viruses that infected our ancestors throughout the millions of years of our evolution. Under normal conditions

An extraordinary event has taken place this summer in a small, overlooked village north of Uppsala, blending the rich history of Swedish religious movements with cutting-edge quantum research. The village of Mehedeby, home to fewer than 600 residents, recently hosted a remarkable science conference titled "Quantum Redemption" in its 125-year-old Free Church. The conference, organized by Lund Unive

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across eight European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done. Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-targe

Fish deaths, algae growth, bans on swimming, and fecal bacteria – now they are just a distant memory. This year, the engineers were able to hold their annual lake battle, the Regatta, on home turf again. This was thanks to LTH’s landlord Akademiska Hus, and their collaboration with VA SYD. But it is also the story of two LTH alumni who, in their professional roles, joined forces to deal with flood
