Previous research has demonstrated that saturated fat is more fattening and less muscle building than polyunsaturated fats. A new study shows that the choice of fat causes epigenetic changes which in turn could contribute to differences in fat storage. The so-called “muffin study” received a lot of attention when it was published in 2014. In this study, the participants had eaten three muffins a d

Psychiatric and cognitive symptoms emerge at an early stage in Huntington’s disease. However, research so far has mainly focused on movement impairment, a symptom associated with the more advanced stages of the disease. A new study from Lund University in Sweden now shows that the emotional brain - the limbic system - is affected earlier in the course of the disease, and should therefore be given

Bland innovationsforskare finns en utbredd uppfattning att kunskapsintensiva företag frodas bäst i större städer. Men i takt med att nätet byggts ut och människor blivit bättre på att använda det, minskar städernas försprång. Dessutom har landsbygdens trofasta personal som inte hoppar mellan jobb visat sig vara en konkurrensfördel. Det visar samhällsgeografen Hjalti Nielsen i en ny avhandling. Och

Sepsis is a very complicated and precarious condition. Research groups in Lund and Zurich have now developed a way to use mass spectrometry to measure hundreds of proteins in a single blood sample. With the help of protein patterns it is then possible to determine the severity of the condition and which organs have been damaged. The method is now presented in an article in Nature Communications. “

There is nothing to indicate that sexual harassment is more common at the University than in other workplaces. However, different relationships of a dependent nature complicate the situation, such as that between doctoral student and supervisor. Few people choose to report harassment.

The dance that binary stars do around each other offers new clues to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy, the Milky Way – so says a current research study. For the first time, researchers have identified the link between the orbiting times of certain binary stars and the amount of iron in in their interiors. Binary stars are systems containing two stars that orbit each other thanks to their mutua
