Researchers in Lund, Copenhagen and Norwich have shown that harmful mutations present in the DNA play an important – yet neglected – role in the conservation and translocation programs of threatened species. “Many species are threatened by extinction, both locally and globally. For example, we have lost about ten vertebrate species in Sweden in the last century. However, all these species occur el

Particles, sometimes a long way from one another, can be entangled. This strange phenomenon completely confounds our intuition, but the explanation for it has been provided through quantum mechanics. Researchers at the Department of Physics show in a new study that entanglement can also be created in a new way, with the help of intense light, and that they can change the kinetic energy of electron

Informationsåldern började långt före internet – den började med själva livet. Nobelpristagaren Craig C. Mello beskrev vid Lund Spring Symposium i maj hur levande organismer inte bara är bärare av gener, utan också aktiva förvaltare, försvarare och redaktörer av genetisk information. Craig Mello, som tillsammans med Andrew Fire tilldelades Nobelpriset 2006 för upptäckten av RNA-interferens (RNAi),

Den vanligaste använda metoden att testa för covid-19 är med RT-PCR genom ett nässvalgsprov taget med bomullspinne. Provtagning från nässvalget är ofta obehaglig och RT-PCR-test kräver även analys i laboratorium. I en ny studie från Lunds universitet har forskare undersökt om snabbantigentest för covid-19 kan användas på saliv i stället för att pinna nässvalget. Resultaten är publicerade i Infecti

A career in science was not on the map for Kári Stefánsson, who aspired to become a writer. But life took another road and the return to Iceland almost three decades ago marked the start of a journey that would revolutionize genetics. Meet this year’s receiver of the Eric K. Fernström Award. "Genetics is the only way to systematically study human nature. So we came to the conclusion that the way t

Borders don’t just divide nations — they define our bodies too. At the skin and in the gut, our barrier organs form the frontline of defense against infection. Here, diverse communities of friendly microbes, the microbiota, help maintain health and keep these borders strong, backed up by an immune system ready to deploy antibodies against any intruder. Protecting these barrier organs is central to
