Forskare vid Lunds universitet och Washington University har upptäckt en blodmarkör som visar hur mycket av Alzheimers sjukdom man bär på i hjärnan. Fynden kan hjälpa att se vem som kan ha mest nytta av de nya läkemedlen som godkänts i bland annat USA, Japan och Kina – och som är på väg att godkännas i Europa. Studien i korthet:En nyupptäckt markör (MTBR-tau243) i blodet kan avslöja hur mycket alz

En studie ledd från Lunds universitet visar att midjemått är en starkare riskfaktor än BMI för utveckling av fetmarelaterad cancer hos män. Studien, som bygger på data från över 339 000 personer, tyder på att midjemått kan ge viktig information vid bedömning av cancerrisk. Det är välkänt att obesitas ökar risken för flera cancerformer, men hur risken mäts och bedöms kan ha stor betydelse. Nyligen

Miljöpionjären Henrik Smith tilldelas tungt internationellt ekologipris. Han betonar vikten av att forskningen interagerar med samhället – tiden är förbi när det räckte att skriva en tung studie som sen stod och samlade damm. Henrik Smith, professor i zooekologi vid Lunds universitet, tilldelas det internationellt erkända Marsh Awards for Ecology av British Ecological Society. Priset uppmärksammar

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Threats and hate speech from outside are certainly very trying. But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else? The vice dean of the F

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In

Patients suffering from myocardial infarction who receive early add-on lipid-lowering medication have a significantly better prognosis than those who receive add-on treatment late, or not all. Based on the results of a study from Lund University in Sweden, many new heart attacks, strokes and deaths could be prevented. Cardiovascular disease is by far the most common cause of death worldwide, and m
