A new research study has shed light on the underground interaction between tree roots and fungi. In order to understand how this important symbiosis came about, an international team of researchers have sequenced the genomes of different fungi that live underground. The study shows that in the course of evolution, the symbiotic fungi have lost many genes present in their free-living ancestors, and

Annually, THE World University Rankings produces the 'World University Rankings by subject'. In the most recent release on October 26, Lund University improved its standing in seven subjects, securing a position among the world's top universities in six of them. Notably, within LUSEM, the Business and Economics subjects achieved the top rank in Sweden, ascending from 86th place last year to 82nd t

Science has the technology to measure the activity of every gene within a single individual cell, and just one experiment can generate thousands of cells worth of data. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now revolutionised the way this data is analysed – by using 3D video gaming technology. The study is published in the journal iScience. Advanced techniques in DNA and RNA sequencing hav

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Research in collaboration with vulnerable groups, and scientist and citizen involvement are some of the ways forward to address the environmental risks that experts believe will have the most impact in the next ten years. Emily Boyd, Director at LUCSUS, comments on the recently released Global Risks Report 2018.Accord

Indian women are younger and leaner than Swedish women when they develop gestational diabetes, a new study from Lund University shows. The researchers also found a gene that increases the risk of gestational diabetes in Swedish women, but which, on the contrary, turned out to have a protective effect in Indian women. Gestational diabetes is characterized by impaired insulin production and insulin

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University have shown that a group of proteins are crucial for smooth muscle function in the gastrointestinal tract. A lack of these proteins leads to a lethal condition called intestinal pseudo obstruction in mice. The findings play a major role in our knowledge of organs that are dependent on nor

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The enzyme that produces DNA building blocks plays an important role when cells divide. In a new study, researchers have discovered for the first time that the so-called master switch of the enzyme can change locations - while still performing the same task. Regardless of whether you are human, a worm or a bacterium,

For over 20 years, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied the common bluetail damselfly. Females occur in three different colour forms – one with a male-like appearance, something that protects them from mating harassment. In a new study, an international research team found that this genetic colour variation that is shared between several species arose through changes in a speci

The Swedish Research Council has recently recommended that the government establish new strategic research areas. In two of them, researchers within NanoLund play key roles: Quantum technologies and Advanced materials. These are two fields that are crucial for the future energy transition, digitalisation, and technological development. Strategic Research Area Advanced MaterialsWithin the research

On 17 December, the Faculty Board decided on the Faculty of Science’s continued work regarding a potential establishment in Science Village. This means that it will not support the continued planning of Nanolab Science Village (Stage 1). The decision is based, among other things, on the report "Assessment of Critical Mass for Establishment in Science Village", which highlights both the opportuniti

Variations and changes in the genetic code in our cells are of great significance for many of the most widespread diseases. In recent years, researchers have made important progress in finding new ways to correct the genes that are causing problems. They have developed a technique that enables changes to the genetic sequence in living cells.  “It is possible to cut out the bad genes and paste in n

Shovels, brushes and dusty excavations sites? For many people this is what comes to mind when they think of archeology. But the field has developed at an unprecedented pace during the last few decades, and now includes tools and methods such as 3D modelling, spatial analysis and even laser cameras mounted on drones.

A groundbreaking study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the Australian Bogong moth uses the stars and the Milky Way as a compass during its annual 1,000-kilometre journey to cool inland caves. It also reveals that the Earth’s magnetic field plays an important role in the enigmatic moth’s navigation. It is absolutely amazing considering the length of the journey. It’s the equivalent of a h
