Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Consumers are demanding cheaper clothing while more are becoming aware and reassessing their consumption: second hand rather than “fast fashion”.

When researchers are working in the field, they may be faced with challenging and sometimes dangerous situations. How does Lund University prepare its doctoral students and researchers for fieldwork?

And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that can happen. A

Local currencies may arise when there is a clear need for certain products and services in a local area and where the competences to produce them exist but the lack of traditional money puts obstacles in the way.

En ny studie av forskare vid Lunds universitet ger ytterligare stöd för att typ 2-diabetes bör delas in i undergrupper och behandlas på olika sätt. Studien visar att det finns tydliga epigenetiska skillnader mellan olika grupper av diabetespatienter. Epigenetiska markörer kan kopplas till risken de olika undergrupperna har att utveckla vanliga komplikationer vid diabetes, som stroke, hjärtinfarkt

What can be done about the fact that more Ukrainian civilians die in traffic accidents than from Russian bombs? How is it that trains run on time – even though Ukraine is at war?
