The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o

Lund University is returning to Almedalen with a broad programme to strengthen the public discussion about higher education and research. Since the university's first participation in 2009, the commitment has grown, and this year around 50 employees are participating. The programme offers discussions on everything from preparedness and AI to the future of food. As in previous years, LTH has a well

Congratulation to Wolfgang Knecht and his collaborators, who have been awarded a grant for a LINXS theme initiative titled Pandemics and Alertness (PandA)! The theme is a “spin-off” from the Pandemics and Alertness the thematic collaboration initiative at Lund University, with a deeper focus on advancing understaning of viruses and strengthening crisis preparedness. The themes want to achieve an i

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

From the Vice-Chancellor’s blog: For several years, Lund University and many other stakeholders within the sector and beyond have been calling on the Government to alter and simplify immigration legislation and its regulations for researchers and doctoral students. Sweden and its universities are competing in a highly competitive international study and labour market, and there have been far too m

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.

Genom dna-analyser av gamla luftprover kan forskare i Lund visa att de nordliga mossornas sporspridning har flyttats fram flera veckor under de senaste 35 åren. Resultaten speglar hur snabbt naturens kalender ställs om i takt med ett varmare klimat. När Försvarsmakten på 1960-talet började samla in luftprover för att registrera radioaktivt nedfall från kärnvapentester, var det knappast någon som t
