That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

Inom några år kommer flera naturvetenskapliga profilforskare med tunga anslag att gå i pension. För att trygga tillväxten lanserar nu fakulteten, med vicedekan Anders Tunlid i spetsen, en ny typ av förmånliga lektorat som ska attrahera unga forskare från hela världen. Efter en mötestung förmiddag tar en nyfriserad Anders Tunlid emot på sitt kontor. Whiteboarden är fulltecknad och på skrivbordet li

När man börjar undervisa enligt metoden det omvända/flippade klassrummet eller utnyttjar digitala medier för att frigöra tid till mer studentaktiva metoder i klassrummet kan man ibland tycka att det är svårt att komma på meningsfulla aktiviteter för studenterna att ägna sig åt på den tiden man nu har ”över” i klassrummet, särskilt om man tidigare varit van vid att föreläsa en stor del av tiden.

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. På tio år har forskargruppen Rehabiliteringsmedicins forskning om ryggmärgsskador nått långt. På flera områden befinner sig forskningen i det världsledande skiktet, inte minst vad gäller att över tid följa en och samma grupp personer som lever - och åldras - med ryggmärgsskada. Forskargruppschefen Jan Lexell kommer

Efter åtta år som universitetsstyrelsens ordförande är det dags för Jonas ­Hafström att kliva av. När han blickar tillbaka ser han med stolthet på vad hans styrelse har lyckats åstadkomma. Men det har också funnits utmaningar. – Det svåraste är att universitetet är så decentraliserat, säger han. Chosefri. Diplomatisk. En person som sprider god stämning och som inte gör skillnad på folk och folk –

A large international collaboration involving researchers from Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center has taken an important step toward making induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)–based therapies more globally accessible. Published in Stem Cell Reports, the study presents the first data‑driven international benchmarking of key quality control assays, showing how standardized methods can reduce v

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas
