Using X-ray and neutron scattering, a team of researchers in Lund has succeeded in mapping the fibril structure of the beta-amyloid 42 protein that contributes to Alzheimer’s disease. The new knowledge could be an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle in the future search for effective drugs. In Alzheimer’s disease, the atrophy of the nerve cells in the brain leads to memory problems and cognitive

Isolation is a major problem for many in Academia. To counteract this among its doctoral students, the working group for diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) within the Stem Cell Centre invited an expert in the field to the start of this year's Gaduate School. If we foster a greater sense of belonging, we can boost feelings of safety and connection, ultimately leading to improvements in innovat

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Directly after birth, the immune system completes production of a subtype of antibody-producing immune cells, B-1, that are to last for a lifetime. No more B1-cells are formed after that point. However, these cells are self-reactive – they produce not only antibodies against foreign substances, but also against the bo

What can be done about the fact that more Ukrainian civilians die in traffic accidents than from Russian bombs? How is it that trains run on time – even though Ukraine is at war? And how do you rebuild a country that wants to move beyond the old Soviet structures, with a green transition in sight? These were some of the topics of discussion when a ministerial delegation from Ukraine visited LTH. I
