Det har tidigare varit svårt att hitta DNA-mutationer i spermier, eftersom förändringarna är ovanliga och de flesta sekvenseringstekniker har stor felmarginal. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet gjort en pilotstudie, där de undersökt spermie-DNA och likheten med mutationer hos barn, med hjälp av avancerad duplexsekvensering. Nästan 80 procent av alla nyuppkomna mutationer hos barn kommer från p

Vilket ansvar har akademiker i relation till kollegor i Ukraina och andra krigszoner – och vad kan universitetets medarbetare göra för att stötta den utbildning och forskning som behöver fortsätta alltmedan flyglarm ljuder och bomber faller? Lunds universitet kan ge flera svar på den frågan. Ett av dem är pilotprojektet som bedrivits vid Medicinska fakulteten och enklast kan beskrivas i siffror: T

For the first time, researchers have linked specific frequent defects in sperm to risk of pregnancy complications and negative impacts on the health of the baby. The study from Lund University in Sweden shows that high proportion of father’s spermatozoa possessing DNA strand breaks is associated with doubled risk of preeclampsia in women who have become pregnant by IVF. It also increases the risk

The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable

Ögonläkaren och forskaren Lotta Gränse vid Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus har kunnat visa att ögondroppar med kortison kan förhindra utvecklingen av den mycket allvarliga ögonsjukdomen ROP hos spädbarn. Det har revolutionerat behandlingen och innebär att huvuddelen av barn i södra sjukvårdsregionen med svår ROP inte behöver traditionell behandling i narkos för att undvika svår sy

A large amount of lungs donated cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital have conducted an animal study bringing hope that more donor lungs could be used in the future. The researchers have launched a pilot study to investigate whether the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 19
