Why are there hundreds of jumbled human bones in the ground at Uppåkra? That is one of the mysteries that archaeologists at Lund University hope to be able to solve in the next few years. They will be aided by the latest DNA technology. A quiet calm rests over Uppåkra, just outside Lund. The only sound under the enormous tent canvas that has been hung just next to an old pigsty – which incidentall

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Swedish health care delivers good results, yet we hear every day about the health crisis and its consequences. Now, representatives of academia and health care have grown tired of the crises and started the think tank Health Care and Science with the goal of contributing to solutions and spreading good ideas. – We wan

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a ne

On 18 November, a news item was released that went beyond our wildest dreams: Lund University ranked first in the QS World University Rankings: Sustainability. We have been ranked as not just the best in Sweden, or even Europe – we are number one in the entire world! This is most likely the first time that a Swedish or Nordic university has been ranked best in the world in one of the major ranking

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

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel
