Academic freedom is under threat

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but

Study reveals culture of silence around sexual harassment

A new study, published in the scientific journal PLOS One, reveals that a culture of silence surrounds sexual harassment in universities. The study was based on the supporting documents collected for the 2019-2020 Tellus report. The study, which ran from 2019-2020, was conducted via surveys sent to all staff and students at Lund University; the response rate was around one third in both groups. Th

Mutations can reduce effect of hormonal treatment in early breast cancer

A small proportion of women who receive anti-estrogen treatment after breast cancer surgery have worse outcomes. This is associated with mutations in the estrogen receptor gene, according to a study from Lund University now published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum.   “If our results are confirmed in further studies, it would be relevant to screen for these resistance mutations already at diagnosis, and t

Study sheds light on the darker parts of our genetic heritage

More than half of our genome consists of transposons, DNA sequences that are reminiscent of ancient, extinct viruses. Transposons are normally silenced by a process known as DNA methylation, but their activation can lead to serious diseases. Very little is known about transposons but researchers in an international collaboration project have now succeeded for the first time in studying what happen

Forest production on drained peat release greenhouse gases

Forests have long been seen as a sink for greenhouse gases. Research conducted by scientists from University of Gothenburg has shown that over a forest rotation of 80 years, forest production on drained peat soil is a large source of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. MERGE/BECC researchers Hongxing He and Åsa Kasimir, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Gothenburg, are two of the authors

New peptide may reduce the risk of diabetes complications

Heart attack and stroke are common complications of diabetes, as the body's ability to repair and form vessels is impaired. Researchers at Lund University have developed a new substance with the capacity to stimulate vascular repair response and the formation of vessels. In diabetes, the body's ability to repair vascular damage caused by the disease is impaired, which can lead to complications suc
