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
Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made a new discovery about how the human genome protects itself from disruption during critical stages of life. Their study, recently published in Nature Communications, reveals how two key defense mechanisms—DNA methylation and the HUSH complex—work together to safeguard genomic stability. The human genome contains large stretches of rep

Wildfires and deforestation are spreading in the wake of an expanding cattle industry in the Amazon rainforest. Now, Jesica López is being recognised for her research, which has brought together politicians, landowners, farmers and Indigenous communities in an effort to halt this development. "We must understand that the Amazon is an ecosystem every human being on the planet depends on," she says.

What happens if there is a power cut and the heating stops working for a long period of time? Besides the obvious consequences – that technology doesn’t work and it gets cold – how do we, as a society, prepare for such a crisis? Do we know who is supposed to do what when it happens? And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that can happen. A

Trade shocks can have various impacts on the economic activities of a country, yet it remains uncertain whether such shocks influence the environmental behaviors of firms. Albert Duodu shows, in a recent investigation, that trade shocks originating from countries with less stringent environmental regulations can spur significant demand for emission-intensive goods from Swedish firms, subsequently

One of the biggest perks of teaching at university? Supervising students and seeing them grow into their role. That is at least according to senior lecturers Olof Hallonsten and Anna Jonsson. Detectives with magnifying glasses and catching and preparing a fish. Those are two of the metaphors that Anna Jonsson and Olof Hallonsten use to explain the relationship between supervisor and student, the v

Synkrotronröntgen och neutroner skapar möjligheter att undersöka livsmedel på molekyl- och till och med atomnivå. Genom att studera strukturer inuti livsmedel går det att få reda på var näringsämnen sitter inuti exempelvis en böna eller var arseniken ansamlas i ett riskorn. Nu ska en grupp forskare vid Lunds universitet använda nya tekniker för att ta livsmedelsforskningen till nästa nivå. – Var i
