The protein A1M, alpha-1-microglobulin, is naturally present in the body and prevents oxidation of blood fats – a major cause of atherosclerosis. The discovery is the work of a research group led by Professor Bo Åkerström from Lund

In the late 1980s and over the 1990s, researchers at Lund University in Sweden pioneered the transplantation of new nerve cells into the brains of patients with Parkinson’s disease. The outcomes proved for the first time that transplanted nerve cells can survive and function in the diseased human brain. Some patients showed marked improvement after the transplantation while others showed moderate

Depression, dizziness, difficulty focusing the gaze and balance problems. Many professional athletes who have sustained head trauma in sports have lingering symptoms that affect everyday life. Little help has been available as the cause has been unknown. A clinical study from Lund University in Sweden can now show that the problems originate in an injury to the vestibular nerve. Athletes in contac

The year is 2072, and the worst storm in two hundred years is about to hit Scania, in the south of Sweden. In Skanör-Falsterbo, a family is celebrating Christmas when the storm alarm sounds. The waves draw closer to the house, and the family dash towards the nearby church. What happens next is the result of many decades of decisions: did we work together, or did the lines of conflict become even d

Insects have difficulties handling the higher temperatures brought on by climate change, and might risk overheating. The ability to reproduce is also strongly affected by rising temperatures, even in northern areas of the world, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Insects cannot regulate their own body temperature, which is instead strongly influenced by the temperature in the

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
