Several recent surveys indicate high levels of mental health problems among PhD students. Together with reports that PhD studies are often characterized by, among other things, a high workload, long working hours, and future job insecurity, this evidence has given rise to a broad discussion about a mental health crisis in graduate education. However, since survey evidence often relies on smaller a

The development of a new treatment strategy for bacterial infections and sepsis is being led by researchers at Lund University. In a study the researchers demonstrate how they, by mimicking a substance naturally present in the body, can neutralize toxic substances from bacteria and thereby mitigate harmful inflammation that could otherwise lead to sepsis. “Despite decades of research, there are cu

It has previously been difficult to identify DNA mutations in sperm, as these changes are rare, and most sequencing techniques have a large margin of error. Now a research study led from Lund University, have conducted a pilot study in which they examined sperm DNA and it’s similarity to mutations in children, using the advanced technique called duplex sequencing. Nearly 80 percent of all new muta
