Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Flera gener som ökar risken för övervikt och fetma är redan kända men nu rapporterar en holländsk forskargrupp att de funnit en smal-gen, en genetisk variant som minskar risken. Ämnet reservatol, som finns bland annat i rött vin, aktiverar smal-genen, åtminstone hos möss. Att genen SIRT1 tilldrar sig allt större int

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. De rapporter som chefer och medarbetare i socialtjänsten skriver vid avvikelser gällande exempelvis personer på gruppboende med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning, leder inte till bättre stöd, vilket är avsikten med rapporteringen. – Det innebär att vissa personer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning lever i en mi

På en åker cirka en mil utanför Lund samlades ett 40-tal entusiastiska forskare en regnig dag i slutet av oktober för att inviga en ny forskningsinfrastruktur, och samarbete med Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) i Alnarp. Deras entusiasm handlar om perenna (fleråriga) grödors potential att förändra dagens jordbruk från grunden – där den nya forskningsinfrastrukturen i Alnarp kan bli en viktig pu

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Till och med Albert Einstein kanske kan ha fel. Till exempel när han hävdade att det är galenskap att göra samma sak om och om igen och förvänta sig olika resultat. Einstein var verksam under första halvan av 1900-talet. Och nu drygt ett halvsekel senare sliter forskare över hela världen sitt hår därför att det så o

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A recent report by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) identifies 24 places across the world that are hotspots for deforestation - and where forests are under threat. A staggering over 43 million of hectares were lost in these areas between 2004 and 2017 - an area roughly the size of Morocco. Torsten Krause, who research

This year's recipient of the Leif C. Groop Award for Outstanding Diabetes Research maps out mechanisms in the adipose tissue, which has increased the understanding of why some people with obesity develop type 2 diabetes. Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm at University of Gothenburg is spurred to find new answers when observations in the lab do not agree with the general view. Justification for awarding"I

In Sweden, class actions - such as the ongoing Aurora case, where 300 young people are suing the government for failing to implement climate policies - are rare. Too rare, according to the sociologist of law Michael Molavi. He argues that Sweden would benefit from more class actions and that the state should finance the legal costs. On 21 March, Nacka District Court announced that the youth group

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
