In recent years, RNA molecules, with the ability to affect or turn off pathogenic genes, have become promising drug candidates in several areas. However, it has been a challenge to develop techniques to deliver the RNA molecules into the cells where they have an effect. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a sensitive technique that makes it possible to study the delivery in

In many ways, Swedish industrialisation began in the home. Women spun, wove and sewed clothes for payment in between their daily agricultural tasks, food preparation and childcare. But didn’t all industrial production gradually move into the factories? ‟No, it didn’t. That is a common misconception,” says economic historian Malin Nilsson, who is researching paid home industry work. ‟That is an ove

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A unique study from Lund University in Sweden has discovered for the first time that there is a genetic sexual conflict in the immune system in animals. In females, the variation in central genes of the immune system is too high, whereas in males, it is too low. The researchers argue that the conflict is linked to dif

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Up to now, researchers have believed that birds stay at home and altruistically help raise younger siblings because this is the only way to pass on genes when you cannot breed yourself. But this idea is only partially true. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds benefit from being helpful because

Singing can be a real health boost. Song involves your emotions, thoughts and body; the feelgood hormone oxytocin surges and the stress hormone cortisol declines. Singing accompanies us from the cradle to the grave, and binds us together as human beings. But what do kids sing in school, how much, and in what way? David Johnson, researcher at the Malmö Academy of Music, investigates this in his the

Any war crimes and accusations of genocide could be investigated by two different courts, both in The Hague. Jessica Almqvist, professor at the Department of Law, analyses what this involves. “There are not many who would dispute the unlawfulness of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine”, says Jessica Almqvist. Some days ago, Ukraine held Russia accountable for having violated the UN convention on genocide
