Men with severely reduced fertility are at greater risk of developing other health conditions later in life. A research team from Lund University in Sweden has now shown that these men are also more likely to develop colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer. The link between male infertility and an increased risk of disease is a relatively new area of research in reproductive health. Previous studies

Bakgrunden till att en stamcellsdonator eftersöks är nästan alltid en malign blodsjukdom, som olika former av leukemi. De flesta säger ja direkt – självklart vill jag försöka rädda livet på mitt syskon. Men att donera stamceller är så mycket mer än en livräddande insats och medicinsk överföring av nödvändiga celler. Den känslomässiga insatsen är ofta hög, och donationen kan väcka stora existentiel

We tend to attribute today's zoological menagerie of dog breeds to Victorian gentlemen with a penchant for selective breeding. The truth, however, goes back much further. An international study shows that the rich morphological variety among dogs began to take off 11,000 years ago – long before nineteenth century kennel clubs. Look at the dogs of today: the dainty Chihuahua, which most resembles a

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers have made detailed observations of the mysterious exoplanet WASP-121 b. The discoveries of the element titanium and jet streams challenge our understanding of the winds and chemistry found on ultrahot planets. Just over 5,800 exoplanets – planets that orbit stars other than our Sun – have been discovered since the

Flera av universitetets medarbetare svarar att de sällan eller aldrig använder AI på jobbet, enligt en undersökning som Ad-hoc gruppen har gjort. Som tidigare nämnts I LU-nytt så har en enkät skickats ut till ett slumpmässigt urval av teknisk-administrativ (T/A) personal på universitetet om deras AI-användning. Undersökningen genomfördes inom ramen för universitetets satsning på digitalisering och

Neuroblastoma is a tumor disease that primarily affects young children. The survival rate is the lowest of all childhood cancers. Now, a research team at Lund University has discovered that a specific gene is associated with a poorer prognosis. The study is published in the journal Science Advances. Every year, about twenty children in Sweden are diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a ca

A long-standing bottleneck in technology development has been how to make processors and memories work faster together. Now, researchers in Lund have presented a new solution in which a memory cell is integrated with the processor, so that calculations can be performed much faster as they take place inside the memory circuit itself. In an article in Nature Electronics, the researchers describe the
