The most common analytical method within population genetics is deeply flawed, according to a new study from Lund University. This may have led to incorrect results and misconceptions about ethnicity and genetic relationships. The method has been used in hundreds of thousands of studies, affecting results within medical genetics and even commercial ancestry tests. The study is published in Scienti

A new study shows that carbon nanotubes used as additives to polymers – to make materials lighter, stronger, and electrically conductive – do not necessarily degrade under the conditions that normally prevail in waste incineration plants. However, if the temperature is increased, or the residence time in the flue gas is extended, they will be destructed. “Contrary to what has previously been thoug

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Some people experience cold not only as feeling cold, but actually as a painful sensation. This applies even to fairly mild temperatures – anything below 20°C. A group of researchers from Lund University in Sweden have now identified the mechanism in the body that creates this connection between cold and pain. It turn

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain’s rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia, epilepsy and other neurological conditions. Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. The

Most African countries contribute only marginally to the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, Africa is the continent most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The impact varies across the continent and also within individual countries.

The research areas remain the same, but our perspective on them has changed. This is how consumption researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Emma Samsioe describe the development in retail research over the past ten years. “In one of our recent reports, we call it 'Retail as unusual.' There is no longer a normal state in trade, no 'Business as usual.' Everything has become more uncertain,” says Carys Egan
