Men with severely reduced fertility are at greater risk of developing other health conditions later in life. A research team from Lund University in Sweden has now shown that these men are also more likely to develop colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer. The link between male infertility and an increased risk of disease is a relatively new area of research in reproductive health. Previous studies

A new study from Lund University in Sweden on how the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine affects human liver cells under experimental conditions, has been viewed more than 800,000 times in just over a week. The results have been widely discussed across social media – but the results have in many cases been misinterpreted. Two of the authors, Associate Professor Yang de Marinis (YDM) and Professor Ma

Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer. Genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) is an emerging approach for disease treatment. Around 30 Swedish researchers suggest a direction forward in a review article in Journal of Internal Medicine (JIM). "At the moment newborns are screened for a small number of mutations. In the

Several inaccuracies in historical CPIs in popular online databases have been discovered, according to new research by Jonas Ljungberg at Lund University, published in Cliometrica. This can have major consequences for both research and the decisions politicians make regarding economic policy. Jonas Ljungberg needed access to different European countries' consumer price indices (CPIs) for the last

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, some shopping geographies had difficulties while others proved to be more resilient. Devrim Umut Aslan discusses what we can learn from these resilient places. A global pandemic hit the world, radically changing how shoppers shop and how they move around in cities.

Allt fler vill hjälpa bin och andra pollinerare och väljer därför att odla blommor rika på nektar och pollen. Men vilka blommor gör allra störst nytta? Enligt pollineringsforskare beror det på syftet. Vill man gynna hotade biarter och den biologiska mångfalden bör man välja en mångfald av växter av inhemskt ursprung. Är man lantbrukare med stora arealer insektspollinerade jordbruksgrödor kan det v

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Cancer is known for its ability to hide from the immune system, making it tough to fight. But what

Hur mäter vi ett lands utsläpp av koldioxid mest rättvisande? Genom hur mycket utsläpp produktionen ger upphov till inom landets gränser? Eller ska vi ta hänsyn även till utrikeshandeln på olika sätt?
