Idag är Alzheimers sjukdom den vanligaste dödsorsaken för personer med Downs syndrom. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har därför, i samarbete med Alzheimer’s Biomarker Consortium – Down Syndrome i USA, undersökt biomarkörer i blodplasman hos denna grupp. Dessa markörer kan hjälpa till att förutsäga framtida förändringar i hjärnan och kognitiv nedsättning vid Alzheimers sjukdom, för personer med Dow

Hundar har med framgång tränats för att larma om blodsockerfall långt innan matte eller husse själv känner något. Nu visar engelska forskare att många hundar gör det spontant. Visste man hur de gör kanske det vore möjligt att konstruera ett instrument som gör samma sak, menar forskarna. Ett stort och ibland farligt problem för många diabetiker är att de inte i tid känner och reagerar på när blodso

By reprogramming tumour cells to become the body’s defenders, Filipe Pereira and his colleagues hope to improve current cancer treatments. Right now, some of the immune system’s most important players, the dendritic cells, are patrolling your body in search of foreign substances. If they find something suspicious, they break it down into smaller pieces, called antigens, which are presented to the

The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicious moles. Kari Nielsen (at the left).

Why is the Stringhyllan bookshelf considered a design classic but not the Billy? And what makes the Lamino armchair into the furniture design of the century while Norrgavel’s Länstol chair isn’t even considered a classic? “I believed, rather naively, that it was quality that determined whether a piece became a Anna Wahlöö has her personal favourite among the design classics in her own garden.

A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the
