This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

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. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

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

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

När man börjar undervisa enligt metoden det omvända/flippade klassrummet eller utnyttjar digitala medier för att frigöra tid till mer studentaktiva metoder i klassrummet kan man ibland tycka att det är svårt att komma på meningsfulla aktiviteter för studenterna att ägna sig åt på den tiden man nu har ”över” i klassrummet, särskilt om man tidigare varit van vid att föreläsa en stor del av tiden.

Efter åtta år som universitetsstyrelsens ordförande är det dags för Jonas ­Hafström att kliva av. När han blickar tillbaka ser han med stolthet på vad hans styrelse har lyckats åstadkomma. Men det har också funnits utmaningar. – Det svåraste är att universitetet är så decentraliserat, säger han. Chosefri. Diplomatisk. En person som sprider god stämning och som inte gör skillnad på folk och folk –
