The symptom profiles of different neurodegenerative diseases often overlap, and diagnosing age-related cognitive symptoms is complex. A patient may have multiple overlapping disease processes in the brain at the same time. Now, researchers at Lund University have developed an AI model showing that it is possible to detect several neurodegenerative diseases from a single blood sample. The study is

An experimental study from Lund University reveals for the first time that different Parkinson’s medications affect brain activity in distinct ways. This could explain why some patients develop impulsive and compulsive behaviors as a result of their treatment. The findings have been published in NPJ Parkinson’s Disease. Upon receiving treatment for their motor symptoms, many patients with Parkinso

Impaired insulin secretion is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, but the process is not yet fully understood. A new study by researchers at Lund University shows that the Piezo1 ion channel regulates insulin secretion, which means it may be an important target for new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes often occurs because the pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce enough effective in

In a recent study from the SCC group of Niels-Bjarne Woods and collaborators, they have investigated the metabolic changes accompanying the emergence of blood during embryonic development. They discovered a previously unknown metabolic switch during endothelial to hematopoietic transition (EHT), the process by which the first blood cells are formed. This switch showed to be crucial in the determin

As part of innovative research on perennial crops, a unique research infrastructure has been developed outside Lund. The infrastructure will measure the exchange of greenhouse gases between the atmosphere and agriculture in real time in two parallel cultivation systems: the newly domesticated Kernza (Intermediate wheatgrass) and conventional crop rotation in Skåne (including wheat, sugar beet, bar

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has succeeded in producing two molecules that are otherwise only formed by microorganisms from extremely contaminated wastewater in an abandoned mine in South Korea. The method, which took four years to develop, could pave the way for new types of drugs. The study is published in Journal of the American Chemical Society. Glionitrin A and B are two molec

Before the start of each semester, a staggering 7,500 booking requests are made for teaching premises at BMC and CRC. Behind the scenes, course administrators, course directors and EGLS work for months to ensure everything runs smoothly. Intramed asked Thomas Hellmark, chairman of EGLS, the unit for undergraduate premises and scheduling, to summarize the first year of using the new house E at BMC.

A new paper explores the current use of satellite technology in forest-risk commodity (e.g. palm oil or cocoa) supply chains, combining dynamic capabilities theory and a multi-tier SSCM framework. Sustainability issues typically occur far upstream in companies’ supply chains, yet companies have limited visibility into these distant supply tiers and often do not know their indirect suppliers. With

A team of NanoLund researchers sought ways to make students understand what is actually happening inside the “magic black box” of a commercial spectrophotometer.  “This set promotes discovery in a natural and self-motivating way. By changing samples in the spectrometer, we can explore a variety of materials and their properties,” says NanoLundian Jens Uhlig, one of the researchers behind the work.
