For a long time, microRNAs were thought to have no important function. But Johan Jakobsson at Lund University is convinced that it is key DNA that can affect different brain diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's disease or psychiatric illnesses. Research to date has talked mostly about genes but Johan Jakobsson and his research team are putting the spotlight on microRNAs. MicroRN

There is an increasing awareness that pollinating insects need flowers rich in pollen and nectar. A new study shows that trees can be just as important for survival – at least for the red mason bee, and probably for other wild bees too. Researchers have investigated the types of habitats and flowers in the agricultural landscape that benefit the reproduction of the red mason bee – a common solitar

To achieve the University’s goal of reducing emissions that have an impact on the climate, we need to make changes throughout the organisation. One of these adjustments is to choose more sustainable travel options, now that opportunities to travel are opening up again. One way is to choose the train when travelling within Europe. The University’s travel agent is constantly working to create better

Singing can be a real health boost. Song involves your emotions, thoughts and body; the feelgood hormone oxytocin surges and the stress hormone cortisol declines. Singing accompanies us from the cradle to the grave, and binds us together as human beings. But what do kids sing in school, how much, and in what way? David Johnson, researcher at the Malmö Academy of Music, investigates this in his the

Impaired insulin secretion is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, but the process is not yet fully understood. A new study by researchers at Lund University shows that the Piezo1 ion channel regulates insulin secretion, which means it may be an important target for new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes often occurs because the pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce enough effective in
