Forskare vid Lunds universitet har studerat hur en molekylär sensor som sitter i blodkärlsväggen, styr hur kärlet kompenserar för högt blodtryck. När vi åldras försämras sensorn, vilket kan förvärra kärlskador av ett högt blodtryck och därmed orsaka följdsjukdomar som drabbar hjärtat, hjärnan eller andra organ. Forskarna visar i möss, att avsaknad av sensorn, leder till utveckling av aorta-aneurys

Folkhälsomyndigheten rekommenderar att personer över 70 år bör begränsa sina kontakter med andra människor så långt det går under en tid, vars längd är oviss. Hur ska de äldre och deras nära förhålla sig under denna kris? Äldreforskaren Lisa Ekstam vid CASE försöker råda och ge svar. Enligt Folkhälsomyndighetens direktiv bör äldre alltså undvika att träffa släktingar och vänner om det inte är helt

Ungefär var femte person väljer redan bort amerikanska varumärken enligt en ny studie. De allra flesta kan tänka sig att bojkotta amerikanska produkter som Coca-Cola till förmån för europeiska eller svenska alternativ. En studie gjord av varumärkesforskare på Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet tillsammans med Norstat Sverige visar att så gott som alla svenska konsumenter har köpt eller använt

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har gjort den hittills mest detaljerade kartläggningen av epigenomet i de celler som styr kroppens blodsocker. Studien, som publiceras i Nature Metabolism, visar hur kemiska förändringar på DNA påverkar både insulinproducerande betaceller och glukagonproducerande alfaceller – och hur dessa mönster förändras vid typ 2-diabetes. Alla celler i kroppen har samma uppsättn

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Med 300 dagar kvar till invigningen har nu acceleratorgruppen på MAX IV-laboratoriet för första gången kunnat leda elektronstrålen hela vägen runt den stora 3 GeV-ringen. – Det är såklart fantastiskt spännande och roligt, säger Pedro Fernandes Tavares, projektledare för lagringsringarna.Installationen av den stora 3

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Do you leave work full of energy and excited about what the rest of the day has to offer? If not – maybe it is worth trying to improve recovery during the working day.  Lina Ejlertsson's thesis is about recovery of staff in one of the most stressful work environments – healthcare centres. She says we have a certain am

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease.

When planning for food in times of crisis – what foodstuffs do we imagine? Many think of tin cans and freeze-dried food, but the fact is that if a crisis occurs, it is not stockpiled cans that will save us. Food preparedness is a subject being taken up by researchers from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Almedalen Week, one of their reflections being  how local growing of crops that do not need
