Centrum för europaforskning lanserade förra året publikationen Viewpoint Europe där forskare skriver så kallade policy briefs. Första numret handlade om regeringens bristande förankring av den svenska EU-politiken. Förra veckan släpptes det andra numret, som visade att förslaget om minimilön i EU kan få helt andra effekter än de som just nu diskuteras i den svenska debatten (se länkar nedan). En p

If you have ever sniffed yourself dizzy at a perfume counter, you have perhaps also come across claims that pH values, fragrance notes and pheromones affect the scent. Are these and other claims true? And what is it that actually makes us smell nice – or nasty? Chemistry Professor Ulf Ellervik separates the scents from the nonsense. For two-legged creatures like us with our noses high above the gr

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

Recent research shows that mild infections without symptoms of illness can still lead to serious consequences by reducing the lifespan of the infected individuals. The study at Lund University in Sweden has been carried out on malaria-infected migratory birds. The infection is thought to speed up the ageing process by shortening the telomeres (i.e., the chromosomes ends) at a faster rate and there

Hur bör samhällen hantera barn som har upplevt våld och övergrepp? Denna open access-bok bidrar till den pågående diskussionen genom att fördjupa sig i Barnahus-modellen: en mångdisciplinär modell vars syfte är att både erbjuda rättvisa och återhämtning till utsatta barn. Modellen Barnahus implementerades först i Norden och sprids nu över Europa. Den nya boken Justice and Recovery for Victimised C

Anne Sofie Djernis Anne Sofie Djernis´ MFA exhibition entitled “There is no emotional connection to numbers on a gravestone without a story being told” consisted of paintings, either on canvas or on newspaper. The paintings had an expanded colorscape and suggested different meditative states. In the hand-out text Djernis mentioned how “In a meditative state, you observe” as a way she understood

Med en mjuk plast kläs insidan av tunntarmen in vilket förhindrar att maten absorberas. Principen, som är helt ny, kan bli ett alternativ till fetmaoperationer, har nu fått CE-godkännande i EU. Insättandet av plastbarriären är enkelt och tar inte mer än 30 minuter. EndoBarrier heter plastbarriären som mest kan liknas med ett 60 centimeter långt rör av mjuk, genomskinlig plast.EndoBarrier gör samma

During her Ph.D. studies, Caroline Haikal has investigated the connections between the gut and the brain in early Parkinson’s disease development. On March 11, she defends her work supervised by Prof. Jia-Yi Li. Here, Caroline tells us about her research in Neural Plasticity and Repair, one of MultiPark’s experimental research groups.

Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success

WINGS is happy to invite you to a lunch seminar with Jessica Abbott (Researcher, Evolutionary Ecology, Lund University) My main interest is in the evolutionary genetics of sex differences, especially sexually antagonistic genetic variation—in other words, when the same gene has opposite effects on the fitness of males and females. Sexually antagonistic genes and traits are interesting because they

Many people feel mentally unwell during the pandemic, especially, it seems, those who are already exposed to socio-economic inequalities. But who really suffers the most when restrictions, loneliness, depression have become commonplace? Researchers from Lund University have tried to find out in a cross-sectional study where young adults are identified as a particularly vulnerable group. After more

Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research.

In healthcare, treatments developed for broad patient groups are often used. This is not always an effective approach. Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova has therefore distributed research grants to eleven Swedish innovation environments whose research aims to develop more individually adapted healthcare for patients.

Ceremonies have a certain power that speaks more to the emotions than to the intellect. This is the opinion of the newly inaugurated vice-chancellor Erik Renström, who sees the value in academic traditions. In his management team, however, new winds are blowing, bringing with them the values of “integrity” and “character” and a pro vice-chancellor who is specially tasked with working on these aspe
