Höga halter av miljögifterna PCB och DDT ökar kraftigt risken för typ 2 diabetes, visar en undersökning på kvinnor i övre medelåldern. Trots att PCB och DDT förbjöds i Sverige under 1970-talet har många vuxna fortfarande kvar miljögifterna i sitt blod. Orsaken är att de har lång nedbrytningstid och att de anrikas up

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Flera gener som ökar risken för övervikt och fetma är redan kända men nu rapporterar en holländsk forskargrupp att de funnit en smal-gen, en genetisk variant som minskar risken. Ämnet reservatol, som finns bland annat i rött vin, aktiverar smal-genen, åtminstone hos möss. Att genen SIRT1 tilldrar sig allt större int

Hur når vi verklig påverkan med vår forskning och hur ska vi samverka för att forskningsresultat ska få genomslag? Ett sätt är att delta i sammanhang där beslutsfattarna sitter. Två nyligen genomförda aktiviteter har varit på EU-nivå och i riksdagen. Diskussion i Europaparlamentet om hur mobilitet påverkar bostads- och klimatkrisenHur parkeringspolitik påverkar både bostadsbristen och klimatomstäl

An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20 000 genes in the human body control their growth. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied close to 15 000 of these genes alongside each other. The researchers have succeeded in identifying four key genes which, together, govern the growth and multiplication

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Endurance running is often seen as a welcome escape from everyday life. But extraordinary experiences, such as running ultra-marathons, are not untouched by the competitive nature of contemporary consumer culture, a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden argues. The at times romanticized notion of experiencing comp

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

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

The winter season virus has struck – and covid-19 is still part of everyday life. But unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how the virus is spread through the air we breathe. Research results from Malin Alsved and Jakob Löndahl show that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers at LTH are behind the study, in which

The idea that research results should be simplified and related to a media logic when being communicated to the public is challenged in a new report on research communication. “It is just as important, if not more so, to provide an understanding of what lies behind the results – of the knowledge and the methods used,” says organisational researcher Anna Jonsson. She has been involved in the recent
