Genom en ny biobank får forskarna tillgång till 1 000 parkinsonpatienters genetiska profiler tillsammans med utförlig information om deras livsstil och sjukdomshistoria. – Jag är övertygad om att många forskare

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. T-celler, antikroppar och antigen. Under det senaste året har vi alla genom livlig medierapportering fått lära oss mer om människans immunsystem. Att immunsystemet är fullkomligt nödvändigt för vår överlevnad är de flesta nog medvetna om. Men hur påverkar immunsystemet egentligen Parkinsons sjukdom, behövs det för a

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. I en ny experimentell studie visar forskare hur alzheimerproteinet amyloid-beta ansamlas inuti nervcellerna och hur det felveckade proteinet sedan sprids från cell till cell via nervtrådar och fortplantar sig i en ond spiral. Alzheimerproteinet uppkommer inuti cellerna långt tidigare än de synliga extracellulära pla

Det är inte, som man tidigare trott, bara skador i nervbanorna som ligger bakom de typiska rörelseproblemen efter en hjärnskada eller stroke – hormoner som frigörs efter sådana skador verkar bidra på ett dramatiskt och tidigare helt okänt sätt. Det visar ny forskning från bland annat Lunds universitet. Resultaten tyder på att hormonblockerande preparat kan användas för att motverka rörelseprobleme

Psykiska och kognitiva symtom kommer tidigt vid Huntingtons sjukdom och är ofta de svåraste symtomen i sjukdomen, vittnar berörda. Ändå har forskningen, i sin jakt på behandling, främst fokuserat på sjukdomens rörelsestörningar, ett senare symtom. Ny forskning visar att känslohjärnan påverkas tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet och därför bör ges mer fokus vid utvecklingen av nya behandlingar. Artikeln p

Ansamling av amyloid-beta kanske startar inuti nervcellerna. Nya möjligheter att studera strukturella förändringar före amyloida plack bildas. Fyra olika typer av Alzheimers sjukdom. Ett enkelt diagnosverktyg förutspår risken att utveckla sjukdomen. Och ett tvär-vetenskapligt samarbete mellan Region Skåne, Lunds kommun och läkemedelsindustrin för att underlätta tidigare diagnos och träffsäkrare pr

International collaboration takes place every dayInternationalisation is not something that happens alongside our core activities – it is a natural part of them. Science is fundamentally international, and scientific progress depends on collaborations across subject boundaries and disciplines around the world. Internationalisation is therefore an integrated part of our researchers’ everyday work.A

In the Dean’s latest “Dean’s Corner”, topics such as internationalisation, international impact and global positioning are highlighted. But what do these concepts actually mean in practice, and why are they important for us at the Faculty of Science?To gain a deeper understanding of these questions, we spoke with Pro Vice-Chancellor for Strategy and Global Affairs, Kristina Eneroth, who for severa

Quantum. The word is appearing more and more frequently in discussions about future technologies, security, medicine and computing. At the same time, the field is often perceived as both abstract and difficult to understand. But what exactly is quantum physics, and why is there so much interest in it right now? “Quantum physics was developed to describe the very smallest building blocks of the uni

How can reflection become a natural part of teaching in the natural sciences? That is the starting point for a new workshop series designed to give teachers practical tools and support to help students develop their reflective skills – an essential component of learning and a national degree requirement. Reflection may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about science education

In a recent study from Lund University, researchers have discovered that metabolic changes in the blood cell, affect the development of blood during the fetal stage. They found a previously unknown metabolic regulator - a kind of switch - which turns out to be crucial for how different types of blood cells develop. In the long run, this could mean that natural killer cells, a type of white blood c
