Parkinson's disease may start in the gut Parkinson's disease is strongly linked to the degeneration of the brain’s movement center. In the last decade, the question of where the disease begins has led researchers to a different part of the human anatomy. In 2003, the German neuropathologist Heiko Braak presented a theory suggesting that the disease begins in the gut and spreads to the brain. The i

Det åttonde globala hållbarhetsmålet i Agenda 2030 är ‘Anständiga arbetsvillkor och ekonomisk tillväxt’. Det handlar om att anständiga arbetsmöjligheter är en förutsättning för en rättvis globalisering och en minskande fattigdom. Men målet anses strida mot andra hållbarhetsmål. Hur kan ekonomisk tillväxt säkerställas utan att ha en påverkan på vår planet? Lunds universitet ligger i toppen när det

The HLF gene is necessary for maintaining our blood stem cells in a resting state, which is crucial for ensuring normal blood production. This has been shown by a new research study from Lund University in Sweden published in Cell Reports. “The study confirms several previous studies that show the HLF gene’s significance in blood formation”, says Mattias Magnusson who led the new study. The result

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light. For example, one application could be converting carbon dioxide into fuel. The sunlight that hits Earth for one hour is almost equiva
