This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Last year, researchers Tobias Cronberg and Niklas Mattsson at Lund University in Sweden published a study showing serum tau levels to be a new and promising marker for identifying patients with severe brain damage after cardiac arrest. Together with Marion Moseby Knappe, they have now discovered that the protein Neuro

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease is often difficult, as several other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a blood marker that can accurately diagnose Alzheimer’s in the early stages of the disease. ‟This is a major breakthrough. I believe this blood test ca

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Cardiovascular and lung disease increase the risk of complications in COVID-19. Therefore, the Heart-Lung Foundation has granted SEK 3.1 million for five research projects at Lund University that will contribute to more knowledge about the effects of COVID-19. One of the researchers, Jonas Erjefält, professor in Medic

Astronomers can use supercomputers to simulate the formation of galaxies from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago to the present day. But there are a number of sources of error. An international research team, led by researchers in Lund, has spent a hundred million computer hours over eight years trying to correct these. The last decade has seen major advances in computer simulations that can real

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. It has long been known that t

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

Petra Holmberg won the Researchers’ Grand Prix heat in Helsingborg on 7 October. She presented her research – on the risks involved when 80 per cent of Gen Z use chatbots to manage stress or anxiety – to an audience of over 500 upper secondary school pupils. In her presentation she talked to an animated chatbot to illustrate how AI can give destructive advice to young people who already feel unwel

Eat-Lancet-kommissionen föreslog 2019 en globalt hållbar hälsosam kost som innehåller främst växtbaserad föda. Bevis för att denna kost skulle förhindra hjärtinfarkt eller annan allvarlig hjärtsjukdom har hittills varit väldigt begränsade. Nu har en studie vid Lunds universitet undersökt sambandet mellan EAT-Lancet-kosten och risken för just dessa sjukdomar. Kohortstudien Malmö Kost Cancer (MKC),

En ny studie av forskare vid Lunds universitet väcker frågor om hur effektivt det är med fetmaoperation genom gastric bypass. Resultaten visar att de största förändringarna i ämnesomsättningen skedde strax efter operationen. Redan ett år efter operationen närmade sig koncentrationen av metaboliter och fetter samma nivå som före operationen. Tidigare forskning har visat att en majoritet av dem som

Under tisdagen träffades de doktorander som anslutits till SWEAH 2026, på Forum Medicum i Lund. De presenterade sig och sina forskningsprojekt, fick information om forskarskolan, nätverkade och träffade alumner och doktorander som varit med ett tag i SWEAH. Som vanligt vid forskarskolans introduktionsträffar visades en stor bredd på forskningsprojeken. Det handlar om helt ny forskning inom allt fr

Att äta ost och grädde med hög fetthalt kan ha ett samband med en lägre risk för att utveckla demens. Det visar en ny stor studie vid Lunds universitet. Forskarna analyserade kostvanor hos drygt 27 000 personer och kopplade dessa till förekomsten av demens under en uppföljningstid på upp till 25 år. Debatten om fettsnåla dieter har länge format våra hälsoråd och påverkat hur vi ser på mat och häls

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 was recently recruited as a postdoc in our lab. He thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. Earlier this spring, he defended

The City of Lund and Lund University have approved a joint strategy to foster the local innovation environment and business community. This means that efforts to attract companies and talent and to bolster Lund’s international position are now being stepped up. “It sends out a strong signal that we speak with one voice.

James Surmeier, professor at Northwestern University, recently visited Lund University where he gave the 2018 Segerfalk Lecture. In this interview, he talks about how technology is helping brain research to advance, about almost giving up research altogether – and the discovery that could slow the progression of Parki

Extreme weather poses a big threat to birds. Yet there is a lack of both knowledge and methods for measuring its negative effects. In a new study, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified knowledge gaps and propose practical tools for analysing the risks to birds. Extreme weather has become increasingly common worldwide, often in the form of combinations of heat and drought. Thes

After a stroke, there is inflammation in the damaged part of the brain. Until now, the inflammation has been seen as a negative consequence that needs to be abolished as soon as possible. But, as it turns out, there are also some positive sides to the inflammation, and it can actually help the brain to self-repair. “This is in total contrast to our previous beliefs”, says Professor Zaal Kokaia fro

A new experimental and clinical study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the sleep hormone melatonin impairs insulin secretion in people with a common gene variant. “This could explain why the risk of type 2 diabetes is greater among, for instance, overnight workers or people with sleeping disorders”, says Professor Hindrik Mulder who is responsible for the study. Melatonin is a naturally o

On Tuesday, the PhD students who joined SWEAH 2026 met, at Forum Medicum in Lund. They introduced themselves and their research projects, received information about the graduate school, networked and met alumni and PhD students who have been involved with SWEAH for some time. As usual at the graduate school's introductory meetings, a wide range of research projects were presented. This involves co
