Var femte hockeydam på elitnivå upplever symtom på utmattning. Många, både kvinnliga och manliga hockeyspelare, uppger att de konsumerar alkohol på en risknivå. Men det starkaste sambandet i en ny studie om psykisk hälsa bland svenska elithockeyspelare såg forskarna vid upprepade hjärnskakningar – med tydlig påverkan på måendet, oavsett kön. I en studie har forskare vid Lunds universitet utgått fr
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that sugar beets produce haemoglobin. They now hope that this haemoglobin could serve as a blood substitute – a substance that is currently in short supply. Watch on YouTube: How to produce haemoglobin from sugar beets “Previously, it has been presumed that certain plants produce this iron protein only when stressed, such as in drought or

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. "When the temperature rises, the virus's genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell," says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

From the vice-chancellor blog: Intensive work is being carried out on how we can open doors for Ukraine at the EU and national levels and at Lund University. Here, we are looking at all possibilities to enable us to take in students, academics and researchers who need to leave their country or will need to study or conduct research in their homeland in the future. We are working according to short
A lot has happened in coagulation medicine since Jan Astermark first started his research in the 1980s. The most recent progress is in gene therapy and the first patients with severe haemophilia who were treated in Malmö last year. “It is fantastically exciting to work in a research field where so much is happening. The research and the progress in treatment that have taken place in recent decades

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An
