The emergence and evolution of photosynthesis played a decisive role when life on earth began four billion years ago. In the past decade, some researchers have presented claims that quantum mechanical coherence plays an important role in this complex process. These ideas have now been critically evaluated in a study published in the scientific journal Science Advances. Photosynthesis, in which liv

Ett forskarteam från Lunds universitets diabetescentrum (LUDC) har genomfört en omfattande analys av de genetiska skillnaderna mellan olika grupper med personer med fetma. Forskarna definierade i studien två fetmaprofiler med olika risk för bland annat typ 2-diabetes. Fetma är ett globalt folkhälsoproblem som påverkar flera hundra miljoner människor runt om i världen oberoende av kön och ålder. De

In order to strengthen academic leadership, we have adopted a new policy that will make clear what expertise and expectations ought to characterise academic leadership, taking the complex environment of academia into account. Early in 2022, I gave Maria Flores the task of investigating and making suggestions on the theme of the leadership development of the future. Her investigation identified wha

Diabetes is a disease that is increasing exponentially worldwide, largely as a result of the food we eat and because we exercise too little. Diabetes causes great personal suffering and shortens lifespan, as well as placing a heavy economic burden on society as whole and our health care systems in particular. This summer, Paul Franks, a professor at Lund University Diabetes Centre, will be doing a

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered thirteen new species of extinct brittle stars on the island of Gotland, Sweden. The fossils were dug out of rocks from the Silurian Period (around 444 to 419 million years ago). The species have now been named after several famous hard rock musicians and bands. Ophiuroids are a group of echinoderms closely related to starfish. Their bodies c

The sound of tawny owls makes young European robins eat less during their southward migration. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows how the threat from nocturnal predators affects the birds’ behaviour – and by extension their survival. When young robins embark on their first southward migration in the autumn, they make regular stops along the way to rest and replenish their energy rese

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered the individual traits of fungi, and how their hyphae – that is, the fungal threads that grow in soil - behave very differently as they navigate through the earth’s microscopic labyrinths. The study was performed in a lab environment, and the underground system constructed synthetically from silicone. Using a microscope, researchers were able

An extensive study led by a researcher at Lund University in Sweden has mapped the effects of small farmers on the rain forests of Southeast Asia for the first time. The findings are discouraging, with regard to environmental impact, biodiversity and the economy, over the long term. Until now, studies of this kind have always focused largely on large-scale palm oil producers and how they exploit t

Nu börjar kanadensiska forskningsprojektet ta form, där CASE-forskarna Oskar Jonsson och Björn Slaug ska utforska hem- och närmiljöer som inte inkluderar personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Hem- och närmiljöer som tillgodoser behov hos personer med olika funktionella begränsningar, gör det möjligt för fler att leva ett mer självständigt liv en längre tid med mindre hjälp från andra. – För persone

Antiinflammatoriska livsmedel kan minska risken för typ 2 diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdom. På köpet förbättrades minnet hos de deltagarna som under fyra veckor åt en specialkomponerad kost med bland annat fet fisk, blåbär och mandel. – Resultaten är över förväntan. Jag vill påstå att det inte finns någon tidigare studie med liknande effekter på friska försökspersoner. Vår kostportfölj minskar flera

The information age predates the internet by a long stretch – it began with life itself. Nobel Laureate Craig C. Mello described at the Lund Spring Symposium in May how living organisms are not merely carriers of genes, but also active managers, defenders, and editors of genetic information.
