It has previously been difficult to identify DNA mutations in sperm, as these changes are rare, and most sequencing techniques have a large margin of error. Now a research study led from Lund University, have conducted a pilot study in which they examined sperm DNA and it’s similarity to mutations in children, using the advanced technique called duplex sequencing. Nearly 80 percent of all new muta

If we can understand how and why light and matter behave as they do, we are one step closer to solving some of the most fundamental problems in physics. Finding the answers to these questions drives Ville Maisi, Associate Professor of Solid States Physics, Department of Physics. As long as he can remember he has been interested electric circuits and physics. With the support of a new ERC Consolida

Net zero emission pledges by countries and companies are everywhere at the moment. Most of these pledges rely on massive amounts of carbon removal, yet details on how this will transpire remain largely absent. The COP26 agreement suggests that markets will play a central role, but there are significant problems with this approach. Carbon removal, also known as “negative emissions”, is the process

Strax efter födseln har immunförsvaret bildat den mängd av de antikroppsproducerande immunceller, B1, som ska vara livet ut. Därefter bildas inga fler B1-celler. Men cellerna är självreaktiva – de producerar inte bara antikroppar mot främmande ämnen, utan även mot kroppsegna ämnen, och det är oklart varför immunförs

Plantering av syntetiskt DNA, biometrisk utpressning av makthavare och genetisk hybridkrigföring. Det är några av de nya risker som har uppstått genom de forskningsframsteg som gjorts inom genetisk teknologi och kan utnyttjas i modern krigföring. Forskare vid Lunds universitet menar att vi behöver identifiera vilka de mest kritiska riskerna är och diskutera hur dessa kan förebyggas. Det internatio

Ett blodprov som tidigare visat sig ge lika bra resultat som ryggvätskeprov för att identifiera Alzheimers sjukdom har nu testats i den vanliga sjukvården. – Träffsäkerheten var omkring 90 procent även inom primärvården. Det här kan få stor betydelse för alla de som söker till vården med minnespåverkan och misstänkt alzheimer, säger forskarna bakom studien. Var femte kvinna och var tionde man utve
