This year’s Nordic Prize from the Fernström Foundation – one of the largest medical prizes in Scandinavia– is awarded to two cancer researchers, Jiri Bartek and Jiri Lukas, for their research on cellular responses to DNA damage. Genetically damaged cells that cannot repair their genomes without mistakes pose a major risk of cancer and other diseases. Every year, the Eric K. Fernström Foundation pr

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

An international team of researchers, led by scientists at Lund University, has uncovered how magnesium enters mitochondria. Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays a key role in numerous biological processes in the body. Among other functions, it is crucial for the mitochondria—the power plants of our cells—to produce and utilize ATP, the body’s primary energy molecule. When mitochondrial functio

At this ClimBEco summer meeting, mostly held online but with parallel in-person workshops in Gothenburg, Lund and Malmö, was themed around one of humanities ultimate equalizers; that of food. The way we produce, move and use food globally has important implications on just about every challenge we currently face in the world, reflected in the overall title of the summer meeting. To start off the e

Marju Orho-Melander, professor of genetic epidemiology in Malmö, has been awarded Lund University’s Fernström prize. Her research is about genetic variants that are associated with blood lipids and lipoproteins and can therefore increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Many genes exist in different variants. Sometimes, some of the variants have a negative effect, in particular if they are comb

It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms. It is well known that organic farming benefits biodiversity and ca

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle
