Smoking worsens prognosis for men with prostate cancer

Published 10 May 2022 Smokers have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, but a higher risk of dying from the disease, according to a large population study led by Lund University in Sweden. The researchers followed more than 350 000 people over several decades, and the results are now published in European Urology. It is well known that smokers have an increased risk of developing various ca

New knowledge about airborne virus particles could help hospitals

Published 11 May 2022 Sara Thuresson The risk of being exposed to Covid-19 particles increases with shorter physical distance to a patient, higher patient viral load and poor ventilation. Measurements taken by researchers at Lund University in Sweden of airborne virus in hospitals provide new knowledge about how best to adapt healthcare to reduce the risk of spread of infection. Researchers hope c

New study indicates limited water circulation late in the history of Mars

Published 13 May 2022 3D rendering of the meteorite from Mars (Image: Josefin Martell) A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has investigated a meteorite from Mars using neutron and X-ray tomography. The technology, which will probably be used when NASA examines samples from the Red Planet in 2030, showed that the meteorite had limited exposure to water, thus making life at that specifi

Researchers search for answers to increase in acute severe hepatitis in children

Published 13 May 2022 Gülsen Özkaya Sahin (Photo: Tove Smeds) At the end of March, the first cases of acute severe hepatitis of unknown origin in children were reported in the UK. Since then, the number has increased to more than 300 in around 20 countries; there are now reports of nine suspected cases in Sweden. The acute liver infection mainly affects otherwise completely healthy children under

Entire oat genome mapped

Published 19 May 2022 After many years, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has sequenced and characterized the entire genome of oats. This opens up for breeding healthier oats with even better nutritional content, and growing oats in a more environmentally sustainable way. The detailed genetic analyzes also strengthen the evidence that oats are safe in a gluten-free diet. The results

What happens when plants have stress reactions to touch

Published 23 May 2022 Olivier Van Aken and Essam Darwish (Photo: Johan Joelsson) A 30-year-old genetic mystery has been solved. It has previously been established that touch can trigger stress reactions in plants. However, the molecular models for explaining this process have been quite spartan so far. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found genetic keys that explain how plants res

Epigenetic markers predict complications in patients with type 2 diabetes

Published 25 May 2022 Charlotte Ling (Photo: Kennet Ruona) A new study by researchers at Lund University supports the notion that patients with type 2 diabetes patient should be divided into subgroups and given individualised treatment. The study demonstrates that there are distinct epigenetic differences between different groups of patients with type 2 diabetes. The epigenetic markers are also as

Ostriches can adapt to heat or cold – but not both

Published 30 May 2022 Photo: Charlie Cornwallis The ostrich is genetically wired to adapt to rising or falling temperatures. However, when the temperature fluctuates more often, as it does with climate change, the flightless bird with a 40-gram brain finds it much more difficult. A research team at Lund University has shown that the ostrich is very sensitive to fluctuating temperatures in terms of

Earth’s magnetic poles not likely to flip: study

Published 7 June 2022 Illustration: ESA/ATG medialab The emergence of a mysterious area in the South Atlantic where the geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, has led to speculation that Earth is heading towards a magnetic polarity reversal. However, a new study that pieces together evidence stretching back 9,000 years, suggests that the current changes aren’t unique, and that a reversa
