Nature is a source of well-being and recovery for many people. However, research shows that there is also a growing number of individuals who experience negative emotions, such as fear, discomfort, or even disgust, toward nature. The phenomenon, called biophobia, is now highlighted in a new study from Lund University. “Research has long assumed that people fundamentally feel positive emotions towa

Body shape, colour and behaviour often evolve together as species adapt to their environment. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have studied this phenomenon in a specific type of large, bright green and aggressive common wall lizard found near the Mediterranean. They discovered that a unique cell type might have played a key role in this joint evolution. Adaptation is a genetic change tha

Using X-ray and neutron scattering, a team of researchers in Lund has succeeded in mapping the fibril structure of the beta-amyloid 42 protein that contributes to Alzheimer’s disease. The new knowledge could be an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle in the future search for effective drugs. In Alzheimer’s disease, the atrophy of the nerve cells in the brain leads to memory problems and cognitive

With the help of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors, researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have managed to “turn off” an enzyme that proved to play a key role in the regulation of the diabetes-associated TXNIP gene. The results are decreased cell death and increased insulin production in the genetically modified pancreatic beta cells. In a recent study, researchers have conducted an

Drygt två veckor efter klimatmötet i Egypten möts ledare från världens länder på nytt, denna gång för att hantera en annan akut kris som mänskligheten står inför – förlusten av biologisk mångfald. Frågan är mindre känd än klimatkrisen och något ramverk motsvarande Parisavtalet finns inte på plats – något många hoppas att det kommande toppmötet i Montreal i december ska ändra på.
