“As though I was driving a fast car but had enough margin to turn before hitting the rock wall.” That is how Evelina Lindén describes her experience of having a cancer tumour that was aggressive but treatable. By being open about her illness and sharing images showing how she was feeling on Facebook, she was able to keep the conversation about healthy life going with her friends. “It was so nice t

Researchers have successfully mapped the entire genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle. The breakthrough paves the way for new research into bark beetles and better prospects for effective pest control of a species that can destroy more than 100 million cubic metres of spruce forest during a single year in Europe and Asia. Mapping the genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle enables a far deep

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, researchers have discovered around 70 genetic risk variants for diabetes, but still TCF7L2, known as the diabetes gene, is the gene that carries with it the largest risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Using a new method called exon skipping, Ola Hansson at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) wants

We should not be afraid to joke about one another’s ethnic background. Used with sensitivity, such jokes can instead help to challenge the stereotypical image of immigrants, according to Lund University sociologist Henriette Frees Esholdt, who has studied humour at a multi-ethnic workplace in Denmark. Henriette Frees Esholdt’s study was carried out in a large organisation in the hospitality sector

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. If in the future electrodes are inserted into the human brain – either for research purposes or to treat diseases – it may be appropriate to give them a ‘coat’ of nanowires that could make them less irritating for the brain tissue. However, the nanowires must not exceed a certain length, according to new research from
