A year has passed since Anne L'Huillier became Lund University's first Nobel laureate. Since then, she has tried to use the attention to revive interest in research. But she has also had to come to terms with the oddity of becoming a science rock star asked for selfies all over town. I thought we would go back in time to the 3rd of October 2023. What do you remember most about that very special da

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a previously unknown effect of vitamin A in human embryonic development. Their findings show that vitamin A affects the formation of blood cells. The signal molecule, retinoic acid, is a product of vitamin A which helps to instruct how different types of tissue are to be formed in the growing embryo. For the first time, Professor Niels-Bjarn

The EU’s approval process for a novel perennial, eco-friendly grain with the potential to fundamentally change Europe’s agriculture has dragged on for more than six years. This delay, according to researchers at Lund University, is due to an outdated regulatory system. Kernza, a perennial grain with several metre long roots, is good for the climate and the environment. The grain, which is most clo

Our DNA is very similar to that of the chimpanzee, which in evolutionary terms is our closest living relative. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now found a previously overlooked part of our DNA, so-called non-coded DNA, that appears to contribute to a difference which, despite all our similarities, may explain why our brains work differently. The study is published in the jo
