Recruiting osteoarthritis patients with a lot of pain to clinical studies, may give incorrect results if the researcher does account for the natural variation in pain that occurs. A research group from Lund University in Sweden is now drawing attention to the traps in clinical studies on osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a lifelong joint disease that is becoming increasingly common. The disease in

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

What has been the main option for a long time – i.e. relocating basically all physics and chemistry to Science Village – is no longer relevant. The costs would be too high and the logistics of providing first and second-cycle education in particular would be difficult to organise. “This was crucial.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to a so-called “island of stability” far beyond the element uranium. However, a new study, led by nuclear physicists at Lund University, shows that a 50-year-old nuclear p

Climate research in the Arctic is being hit hard as collaboration with Russian researchers is put on ice. “It’s impossible to get an overall picture of the Arctic without looking at Russia.
