Forskare vid Lunds universitet och Washington University har upptäckt en blodmarkör som visar hur mycket av Alzheimers sjukdom man bär på i hjärnan. Fynden kan hjälpa att se vem som kan ha mest nytta av de nya läkemedlen som godkänts i bland annat USA, Japan och Kina – och som är på väg att godkännas i Europa. Studien i korthet:En nyupptäckt markör (MTBR-tau243) i blodet kan avslöja hur mycket alz

Enklare analysmetod av blodprov för Alzheimers sjukdom har testats i en stor multicenterstudie, ledd från Lunds universitet. – Detta är ett viktigt steg för att kunna föra in enkla blodprovstester för Alzheimers sjukdom i vården globalt, säger forskarna bakom studien. I korthet:Blodmarkören (P-tau217) kan börja förändras flera år innan alzheimersymtom uppkommer. Markören kan mätas med en enklare o

År 2023 var det varmaste året som någonsin har uppmätts och 2024 kommer att bli ännu varmare. Demokratin är på tillbakagång och bristen på mat ökar, som en följd av militära konflikter, ekonomiska kriser och extremväder. Förenta nationernas möjligheter att agera globalt är betydligt sämre än tidigare, som en följd av det geopolitiska läget. Detta under en tid när vi verkligen skulle behöva interna

Den 12 december presenterade regeringen forsknings- och innovationspropositionen med titeln ”Forskning och innovation för framtid, nyfikenhet och nytta”. En samlad bedömning av propositionen visar att den är mycket mer utmanande för Lunds universitet än någon tidigare forskningsproposition. Den erbjuder stora möjligheter för många forskare och olika typer av forskning, samtidigt som den styr forsk

Många av universitetets forskare publicerar fantastisk forskning som har gjorts med hjälp av artificiell intelligens (AI). Många är nyfikna på att testa AI för att förbättra, förenkla eller påskynda åtminstone någon del av forskningsprocessen. Samtidigt ställer sig många frågan ”vad får man använda AI till?” Utgångspunkten när du använder AI i forskningen är att följa grundprinciperna för forsknin

Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support

When Anders Ackfeldt and 22 other researchers criticised the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency’s (MSB) research report “The Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden” for adding fuel to an overly conspiracy theory-tinged image of Islam, it provoked a deluge of threatening emails the following day. “My children were mentioned in the email and that got me worried. There is a limit when family is concerned. The

Recurrent threats via telephone, email and letter – often in conjunction with being published. That is part of everyday research for gender researcher Diana Mulinari and many of her colleagues. “It is almost systematic. Those who hate and make threats are aggressively sexist and racist. Their hate ideology is based on who I am – a woman with a foreign background.”  Diana Mulinari, is a Doctor of S

Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new research about the disease to clinical practice. However, first they have to find a way

Somewhere in an abandoned chalk quarry in northeastern Skåne lurks the skeleton of an 84 million-year-old dinosaur. A group of geologists is convinced of it. Now that a number of teeth have been found, the treasure hunt has intensified. The September sun blazes over the extensive chalk quarry outside the Skåne village of Vinslöv. On a little ledge near a bright blue pond stand two geology research

The Islamic presence in Europe is becoming normalised. But integration also leads to increased conflict, according to Oliver Scharbrodt, Lund University’s new professor of Islamic Studies. Oliver Scharbrodt came to the University last spring after taking up Sweden’s only professorship in Islamic Studies. “I was attracted by the fact that Lund is one of Europe’s classic top universities and that th

Coeliac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, has until now been all but unknown in Ethiopia. Yet as more people adopt a Western diet, the number of cases is increasing. “Few people here have heard of coeliac disease, not even among doctors,” says Adugna Negussie Gudeta, a doctoral student at the Department of Clinical Sciences in Malmö, who, together with his supervisor Daniel Agardh, is doi
