After 20 years of research on gene therapy and the rare blood disease, Diamond-Blackfan Anemia, DBA, researcher Johan Flygare had reached a point where he and his colleagues had done everything they could in the lab. Even though they had proof of concept their gene therapy would work, engaging companies had been difficult. Then, in 2021, he received an e-mail. LONGREAD. The message came from Ameri

Patients who have been so ill they have needed intensive care often have a long recovery ahead of them – both physically and mentally. The problems that can develop include unpleasant memories of nightmares and hallucinations. Previous favourite foods can suddenly taste awful. Many intensive care patients recover well on their own; however, some patients need ongoing care to feel well. Lund resear

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

What inner capacities do we need to support a more sustainable society? During the past decades, focus has been on addressing societal crises through external – technical, economic or medical – solutions. But in order to create real change, we must also tackle the underlying root causes: our broken relationship to nature, other people and not least ourselves. Our current sustainability crises are

Great reed warblers normally migrate by night during its month-long migration from northern Europe to Sub-Saharan Africa. However, researchers have now discovered that during the few occasions when it continues to fly during daytime, it flies at extremely high altitudes (up to 6300 meters). One possible explanation for this unexpected and consistent behaviour could be that the birds want to avoid
