The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio

Epigenetiken har gett forskare nya möjligheter att förstå orsakerna bakom typ 2-diabetes och hur sjukdomen utvecklas. I framtiden kan epigenetiska biomarkörer användas för att förutspå sjukdomen och individanpassa behandlingen. Forskare inom diabetes och epigenetik vid Lunds universitet sammanfattar de viktigaste framstegen i en översiktsartikel som publiceras i Nature Reviews Endocrinology. Orsak

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra

A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler
