Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

Att sova mycket på natten och att ta långa tupplurar på dagen kan vara kopplat till sämre kognitiva förmågor visar ny forskning där 5631 deltagare medverkat från fem olika nordiska studier från ”the National E-infrastructure for Aging Research” (NEAR)*.(Overton et al., 2023) Människan sover nästan en tredjedel av livet och sömnen är en grundläggande faktor för vår hälsa och välbefinnande.

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean
