Magdalena Götz, a professor of physiology at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, held the prestigious Segerfalk lecture last year. The discovery she made as a young researcher started the new field of direct reprogramming to replace degenerated neurons. Magdalena Götz was about to start her lab and was in the process of conducting a control experiment. What she observed was unexpected. Rather

A species of ordinary gut bacteria that we all carry flourishes when the intestinal flora is knocked out by a course of antibiotics. Since the bacteria is naturally resistant to many antibiotics, it causes problems, particularly in healthcare settings. A study led from Lund University in Sweden now shows how two molecular mechanisms can work together make the bacterium extra resistant. “Using this

In the major population survey, Malmö Offspring Study, researchers are trying to discover how our intestinal flora is affected by diet and the consequences this has on health. “We have about one and a half kilos of bacteria in our intestines”, says Louise Brunkwall – doctoral student in the research group Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease – Genetic Epidemiology. The Malmö Offspring Study is base

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec
