Researchers from Lund University, led by Dr. Laurent Roybon, are working to further define underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy. Their latest discovery, published in PNAS, could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as these, as well as other synucleiopathies in the fu

Every year Birger Schmitz, Fredrik Terfelt and Ellinor Martin dissolve five to ten tonnes of limestone with highly dangerous chemicals. The aim is to find microscopic grains from fossilised meteorites that are many millions of years old, which can provide important clues to the development of life on Earth.  LUM was given a tour of the world-unique acid laboratory.  There is a smacking sound as Fr

Changes occur in all cells of the human body as we age. Blood stem cells, in particular, lose some of their functionality over time, contributing to various blood disorders and disease-related conditions. Scientists are investigating the reasons behind this decline. According to a recent study by researchers from the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University, published in Nature Aging, the genetic

Out of 283 districts in Europe, only two collective regions perform well in both social and environmental sustainability. This is concerning as it suggests that the EU farm subsidy scheme, the Common Agricultural Policy, is failing to deliver on its aim to protect rural livelihoods, landscapes and the environment. – Currently, public money in the EU is paying for bad performance. Instead of using

Do epigenetic changes cause type 2 diabetes, or do the changes occur only after a person has become ill? A new study by researchers at Lund University provides increased support for the idea that epigenetic changes can cause type 2 diabetes. The researchers behind the new findings published in Nature Communications now aim to develop methods for disease prevention. We inherit our genes from our pa

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Scientists all over the world agree: the earth is getting hotter and hotter and extreme weather such as heat waves or prolonged droughts create a greater risk of forest fires. In a new photographic exhibition in the Pufendorf Institute's garden in Lund, visitors could take part of powerful photographs of how people, animals and communities are affected by forest fires. The fire season is getting l

David Gisselsson Nord and Tony Ingesson both love spy novels and have a nerdy interest in history. Their shared curiosity resulted in an interdisciplinary collaboration about how it might be possible to inspire smarter cancer treatment with the help of methods from espionage and intelligence analysis. Tony Ingesson finds it fairly easy to show a bit of attitude in front of the camera. David Gissel
