Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Hälften av oss har en genetisk mutation som utvecklades när människan började odla marken och tillreda mat. Mutationen gör att vi bättre klarar av den kolhydratstinna och sockerrika maten som jordbruket erbjöd. Hälften av oss har inte den mutationen, modern kost pressar upp blodsockret och med det ökar risken för ty

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det senaste året har stora epidemier av kikhosta drabbat spädbarn i bl.a. England, USA och Australien. En ny avhandling från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet avslöjar nu att sjukdomen är allvarligare än man tidigare trott och har dödliga konsekvenser senare i livet. Med hjälp av en världsunik befolkningsdataba

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Lundaforskare har utvecklat en ny musmodell som ger svar på vad som de facto sker i kroppen när typ 2 diabetes utvecklas och hur kroppen svarar på läkemedelsbehandling. Långtidsstudier av den medelålders musmodellen kan bättre än tidigare studier bekräfta hur läkemedel för typ 2 diabetes fungerar i människor. - De d

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet har upptäckt en ny, och vad som tros vara viktig, mekanism bakom utveckling av fetma och associerade sjukdomar som insulinresistens och fettlever. Resultaten publiceras i den ansedda tidskriften Nature. Varför blir somliga personer tjocka och andra inte? Trots att man äter

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state

Yulia Vakulenko grew up in a small Russian town north of the Arctic Circle, today she works at Lund University. When Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, her world was turned upside down. The first thing Yulia Vakulenko says when she meets me on the staircase of her workplace at the Ingvar Kamprad Design Centre, IKDC, is that her sorrow is nothing compared to what the people of Ukraine are being

With Varvsstaden out of the picture, the University of Chicago’s establishment and investment in one of the US megacity’s most vulnerable areas, South Side, serve as the blueprint for the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts’ future co-location. “Imagine creating a campus area in Heleneholm where the Malmö Academy of Music is already located. It would be something completely new in Scandinavia, and

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected.

Roach that migrate between different lakes and water courses have larger pupils and better eyesight than roach that stay in one place. The adaptation makes it easier for the red-eyed freshwater migrants to find food in murky waters. This is shown in a large study from Lund University in Sweden. Animals’ eyes, just like those of humans, are a kind of window to the world. Eyesight controls important
