Huntington's disease is known as the "dance disease" due to the patient's characteristic motor symptoms. However, Elna Dickson's Ph.D. project shows that the disease also leads to pathological changes outside the brain. February 17, she defends her thesis about metabolic alterations in Huntington's disease. Now, she shares perspectives on her research journey. Tell us about your research! "Hunting

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. TXNIP-genen dirigerar den onda cirkel som hos många leder till typ 2 diabetes. Kartläggningen av TXNIP verkan kan på sikt öppna vägen för ett läkemedel som förmår bryta cirkeln. Typ 2 diabetes föregås av en långsamt men fortlöpande försämrad blodsockerkontroll. Nu har forskare vid LUDC upptäckt en gen, TXNIP, som fö

Ett ”bokmärke” – i form av specifika proteiner – i cellens DNA, innebär att celler minns sin identitet efter celldelning. Mekanismen har tidigare visats i odlade celler. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu för första gången visat den avgörande betydelsen av denna mekanism i levande möss. Upptäckten, som publiceras i Nature Communications, är viktig för att förstå och påverka blodbildningsprocess

Why do proton collisions resemble the early universe? Will we see X-ray imaging of the connections between neurons in brain tissue one day? Can lung tissue be 3D bioprinted to help patients in need of a lung transplant? And what can you film in in less than 0.000000000001 seconds? Four promising researchers at Lund University have been awarded a prestigious grant from the European Research Council

Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results will be presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Emissions of greenhouse gases have a warming effect on the climate, whereas small airborne particles in the atmosphere, aerosols, act as a cooling mechanism. That is the received wisdom in any case. However, new research from Lund University in Sweden can now show that the tiniest aerosols are increasing at the expens
