It was previously thought that damage to the neural pathways was the sole cause of the motor problems that are typical after a brain injury or stroke. However, new research led by researcher at Lund and Uppsala Universities in Sweden now shows that hormones released after these injuries appear to contribute in a dramatic way. The results indicate that hormone-blocking drugs could be used to counte

When in life we gain weight can have a significant impact on our health many years later. In a study involving over 600,000 people, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated how changes in weight between the ages of 17 and 60 are linked to the risk of dying from various diseases. The results show a clear pattern: weight gain early in adulthood has the greatest impact. It has long

Researchers at MultiPark have uncovered in mice how the protein TDP-43, known for its role in several neurodegenerative diseases, disrupts the hypothalamus, the brain’s key center for metabolic control. Their study sheds new light on the role of TDP-43 in metabolic and psychiatric symptoms shared across frontotemporal dementia, Huntington’s disease, and ALS – findings that could support the develo

Researchers have developed a model that can calculate individual countries' carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning using observations from space. The new results could be put to use within the Earth observation programme Copernicus, when satellites will be sent into space in the coming years. At the COP26 climate summit, the nations of the world agreed on a new document that for the fir
