The international news platform The Conversation is an alternative way for researchers to reach out in the media. We'll tell you how. The Conversation is a politically independent, non-profit international news site with readership on par with The Guardian and The New York Times (140 million reads in 2022). Lund University is a member of the platform, which gives researchers here a chance to inter

Is all the material you have in the freezer actively used in your research? If not, it should be classified as biobank material and instead stored in Region Skåne's Biobank. On 9 April, a digital seminar will be held (in Swedish) on freezer storage options and news in the new Biobank Act. There is a shortage of freezers and space for new freezers in the faculty's premises. Roger Lindskog is an exp

I en studie ledd från Lunds universitet kan forskarna för första gången visa att traumatiska hjärnskador aktiverar vilande endogena retrovirus som under årmiljonernas gång infogats i människans DNA. Att dessa aktiveras kan vara drivande för att starta en inflammation som förvärrar hjärnskadan. Studien är publicerad i Cell Reports.

Researchers from the Jakobsson Group 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 i
