In an international study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a gene variant that controls the body’s capability to form new blood vessels in muscles – a mechanism that affects physical performance, health and recovery. The favourable gene variant is considerably more common among top athletes in endurance sports, compared with both top athletes in explosive sports and non-at

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

Sociologists of law find that Swedish law enforcement struggles to investigate the exploitation of migrant workers. Only two percent of reported cases end up in court. Central to the justice deficit are two interacting logics: the criminal law logic and the labour migration regime. Of the 237 cases of human trafficking for forced labour and human exploitation reported to Swedish police from 2012 t

Using X-ray and neutron scattering, a team of researchers in Lund has succeeded in mapping the fibril structure of the beta-amyloid 42 protein that contributes to Alzheimer’s disease. The new knowledge could be an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle in the future search for effective drugs. In Alzheimer’s disease, the atrophy of the nerve cells in the brain leads to memory problems and cognitive

White dwarfs were once normal stars similar to the Sun but then collapsed after exhausting all their fuel. These interstellar remnants have historically been difficult to study. However, a recent study from Lund University in Sweden reveals new information about the movement patterns of these puzzling stars. White dwarfs have a radius of about 1 percent of the Sun’s. They have about the same mass,
