Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Alzheimers sjukdom kännetecknas av onormal spridning och ansamling av proteinet tau i hjärnan. En internationell studie visar nu hur tau sprids enligt fyra distinkta mönster som leder till olika symtom med olika prognoser för de drabbade individerna. Studien publiceras i Nature Medicine. – Till skillnad mot hur vi h

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis

How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th

Where do you learn the most English in the shortest amount of time, in Sweden or Vietnam? Swedish children are better at communicating, while Vietnamese children are better at constructing correct sentences and at understanding language rules. This was the result of a study of children 11–12 years old by doctoral student Vi Thanh Son at Lund University in Sweden. “Swedish children are more free in

Neuroinflammation plays a significant role in neurodegenerative disorders. That is why MultiPark researchers collaborates across research teams. ”Neuroinflammatory pathways in neurodegenerative diseases” is a new special interest group (SIG) to elucidate molecular and genetic aspects in a rapidly growing research area. Malin Wennström explains how she convenes the joint effort. Can you briefly des

Scientists at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new understanding of how the first blood cells form during human development as they transition from endothelial cells to form blood cells of different types. Using a laboratory model of human stem cell development and by looking at the expression of blood cell and endothelial cell genes in each individual cell, they found a progression from

A hot topic among cancer researchers is vesicles, nanoparticles that flow in our veins in their billions and which have proven to hold information on the health status of the body. Now the hope is to be able to capture and decode the messages in the vesicles via a standard blood test. Thomas Laurell, professor of biom

Artificial intelligence powers everything from facial recognition to self-driving cars, but what does it really take to teach a computer to “see”? Isak Engdahl, who recently defended his doctoral thesis at Lund University, takes us inside the labs where computer vision systems are built, and reveals the human work behind the technology. On Friday 28 November, Isak Engdahl successfully defended his

MultiPark’s backbone for research interactions is about to be reorganized. The 13 new special interest groups (SIGs) address essential scientific and technological needs and provide opportunities for professional development and network formation to our young scientists. The SIGs are self-organizing and self-managing groups. Brian Circuit Analysis is one of them with already ongoing activities. An

I sin avhandling i sociologi, som utforskar nya former av arbetsorganisation inom svensk byggindustri, myntar Rasmus Ahlstrand begreppet maskerad bemanning, ett icke-tillåtet sätt att förmedla och använda arbetskraft genom underentreprenörer. Genom att hävda att de lägger ut arbete på entreprenad, maskerar företag att de i själva verket använder principer om bemanning, vilket bland annat innebär a

Arbetet med Lunds universitets etablering i Science Village har fortsatt under året, men med en ny inriktning. I slutet av förra året beslutade LTH:s och naturvetenskapliga fakultetens styrelser att inte gå vidare med scenario 5 – en samlokalisering av fysiska institutionen och kemiska institutionen i området – på grund av kostnadsskäl och utmaningen att ha utbildning på två olika platser. Projekt
