What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state
Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

For breast cancer to be fatal, the tumour has to send out metastases to other parts of the body. The cancer cells are spread via the blood vessels, and a research team at Lund University in Sweden has now proven that the protein ALK1 determines the extent of the tumour’s spread in the body. The higher the levels of the protein on the surface of the blood vessels, the greater their permeability to
