Continuous-cover forestry methods are gaining attention as a way to enable forests to deliver a broader range of benefits. The aim is to make forestry more sustainable, but significant challenges remain. These will now be addressed in a new project where five organizations are testing continuous-cover forestry in practice. In Bockeboda, just outside Kristianstad, the future of continuous-cover for

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

After 20 years of research on gene therapy and the rare blood disease, Diamond–Blackfan Anemia, DBA, researcher Johan Flygare had reached a point where he and his colleagues had done everything they could in the lab. Even though they had proof of concept their gene therapy would work, engaging companies had been difficult. Then, in 2021, he received an e-mail. The message came from American entrep

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. The stem cell researchers at the IndiCell innovation environment have been award

Although surgery is performed with a simple procedure that is performed under local anesthesia, new research by post doc Malin Zimmerman at Lund University shows that socioeconomic factors such as income, education and/or occupation, have an impact on general recovery and outcome after surgery. -The results from my research show that patients with different socioeconomic backgrounds recover and be

For risk groups, a common cold can be life-threatening. Researchers in Lund have contributed to the development of a new biological medicinal product to treat severe asthma that is worsened by colds. The hope is that the drug will be approved in Sweden next year. Young children, the elderly and patients suffering from chronic lung disease such as asthma and COPD run an increased risk of being affl

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A unique study has analyzed in detail how EU agricultural subsidies flow down to the local level. The new data show that most income support payments go to intensively farmed regions already above median EU income, while climate-friendly and biodiverse farming regions, as well as poorer regions, are insufficiently fun

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Career paths and career-development opportunities for junior researchers vary a great deal between the University’s different faculties. This is what Mia Rönnmar has observed, just over halfway through an investigation which is to result in proposals for how to ensure sound and clear career paths within Lund Universit

Lund University is monitoring developments in Israel, Gaza and the region with considerable dismay and concern. Lund University condemns all acts of terrorism and attacks on civilians wherever in the world they are perpetrated, and in all situations stands up for human rights. Regardless of conflict in the world, Lund University is to be a safe haven. Lund University stands up for the equal value

Within third-cycle education, as in the University as a whole, we are all different and as such we need to work according to the different subject conditions of the faculties. At the same time, we are more alike than we sometimes believe and there are advantages to having the same procedures and rules where possible, particularly when we see more interdisciplinary projects crossing departmental an

Även om Sverige har kommit långt, finns det alltid mer att göra för att skapa ett mer inkluderande samhälle. Det stod klart när tillgänglighetsforskaren Mikiko Terashima från Dalhousie University, Kanada gästade en CASE Scientific Session vid Lunds universitet. Terashima leder forskningsenheten Planering och design för jämlikhet, inkludering och hälsa i samhället (PEACH). Hon forskar på metoder so

Det är inte, som man tidigare trott, bara skador i nervbanorna som ligger bakom de typiska rörelseproblemen efter en hjärnskada eller stroke – hormoner som frigörs efter sådana skador verkar bidra på ett dramatiskt och tidigare helt okänt sätt.

Förstfödda löper lägre risk för hjärtinfarkt och stroke än sina syskon – om antalet syskon inte överskrider tre, för då är det tvärtom. Och personer utan syskon har högre risk för hjärtinfarkt och stroke senare i livet jämfört med de som har syskon. Det visar en ny befolkningsstudie från Lunds universitet som publicerats i BMJ Open. – Att veta hur många syskon en individ har och om hen är äldst el

Grattis alla urbana trädgårdsägare! Era trädgårdar bidrar både till städernas biologiska mångfald samt gör att ni mår bra i kropp och själ. Det är dock förutsatt att trädgården inte är för liten eller bara består av en stor ödslig gräsmatta. Nu slår forskaren Helena Hanson ett slag för att låta trädgårdarna ta större plats i stadsplaneringen. Gröna ytor, till exempel parker och koloniträdgårdar, h

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har identifierat en ny mekanism som kopplar metabolismen av RNA, ribonukleinsyra, till utvecklingen av leukemi hos patienter med blodsjukdomen myelodysplastiskt syndrom, MDS. När viktiga komponenter i RNA-metabolismen störs, ökar antalet genetiska mutationer vilket leder till utveckling av cancer. Studien publiceras i Molecular Cell. Vår genetiska information
