Seven years ago divers discovered the oldest known stationary fish traps in northern Europe off the coast of southern Sweden. Since then, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have uncovered an exceptionally well-preserved Stone Age site. They now believe the location was a lagoon environment where Mesolithic humans lived during parts of the year. Other spectacular finds include a 9,000 year-ol

With the help of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors, researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have managed to “turn off” an enzyme that proved to play a key role in the regulation of the diabetes-associated TXNIP gene. The results are decreased cell death and increased insulin production in the genetically modified pancreatic beta cells. In a recent study, researchers have conducted an

Researchers at Lund and Malmö universities in Sweden have measured a biomarker in cell-free blood plasma which can be linked to an overactive stress system in suicidal individuals. This biomarker can hopefully be used in future psychiatric studies. “We don’t expect the marker to be able to predict who will try to commit suicide, but it may serve as a biological marker indicating greater stress exp

En djurstudie vid Lunds universitet visar för första gången hur olika Parkinsonläkemedel påverkar hjärnans aktivitet på skilda sätt. Detta kan förklara varför vissa patienter utvecklar impulsiva och tvångsmässiga beteenden av sin behandling. Upptäckterna publicerades i NPJ Parkinson’s Disease. Vid behandling av Parkinsons sjukdom drabbas vissa patienter av oönskade beteendeförändringar som spelber
