– I gravarna fann vi människor som begravts med sina löständer och som var uppklädda i sina vackraste kläder. En kvinna hade till och med sin peruk på sig. Många av de begravda är behandlade som om de vore levande, berättar Sian Anthony vid Institutionen för arkeologi och antikens historia vid Lunds universitet, som i sin avhandling Materialising Modern Cemeteries har studerat ett tusental gravar

Fetma förknippas med minskad muskelmassa och försämrad ämnesomsättning. Epigenetiska förändringar som påverkar nybildningen av muskelceller kan vara en bidragande orsak, visar ny forskning från Lunds universitet. I  en ny studie har doktoranden Cajsa Davegårdh studerat sk DNA-metylering i muskelstamceller från feta och smala individer. DNA-metylering är en epigenetisk process där små molekyler, me

Våra blodstamceller bildar omkring tusen miljarder nya blodkroppar varje dag. Men när vi åldras förändras blodstamcellernas förmåga att producera blod. Det leder till att äldre personer lättare drabbas av anemi, försämrat immunförsvar och har större risk för att utveckla vissa typer av blodcancer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet, för första gången lyckats föryngra blodstamceller med s

Grodor och paddor har ett mörkerseende som tycks vara överlägset alla andra djur. De har förmåga att se i färg även när det är så mörkt att människan inte klarar av att se något alls. Det visar en ny studie gjord av forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet. De flesta ryggradsdjur inklusive människan har två typer av synceller i ögats näthinna, nämligen tappar och stavar. Tapparna gör det möjlig

Hur är det egentligen möjligt att könsbaserade löneskillnader lever kvar än idag, trots att de är ett brott mot de mänskliga rättigheterna? Lena Svenaeus, tidigare JämO, menar att lagstiftningen i själva verket fungerat som en fasad som ger sken av att respektera likalöneprincipen medan den i verkligheten har upprätthållit och förstärkt den gamla ordningen. I dagarna lägger hon fram en avhandling

För första gången ska forskare undersöka om det bara är fördelar för fåglar att bli matade av människor. Bland annat ska forskarna från Lunds universitet studera om fåglarna tjänar mer på att bosätta sig i Luleå än i Malmö. Tesen är att fördelarna blir fler ju kallare klimatet är. Projektet ska under fem år undersöka småfåglars hälsa, överlevnad och häckningsframgång. Siktet är främst inställt på

Emelie Haettner, PhD-student in Sentio, reports back from a promising first survival test performed at Sandvik Coromant in Västberga. The unprotected semiconductor microstructures that were printed on tool inserts managed to survive the rough cutting process in the workshop. The results are promising for developing sensors that will work under such extreme conditions. Why did you go to Sandvik Cor
