Alzheimers sjukdom kännetecknas av onormal spridning och ansamling av proteinet tau i hjärnan. En internationell studie visar nu hur tau sprids enligt fyra distinkta mönster som leder till olika symtom med olika prognoser för de drabbade individerna. Studien publiceras i Nature Medicine. – Till skillnad mot hur vi hittills tolkat spridningen av tau i hjärnan, visar fynden från denna studie att tau

Long-term effective methods are needed to curb the negative effects of coastal erosion. Within the LIFE Coast Adapt project, researchers from Lund University, together with officials from Region Skåne and several coastal municipalities in Skåne, have tested various nature-based methods to contribute to a practice in the field. The project has now come to an end with promising results. In the LIFE

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. LUM asked a handful of employees this question after almost a year of working from home. Several of them spoke about putting on some extra weight, more TV and less exercise – but they were not too keen on putting their face to that in LUM... However, another group of employees told us about their new and creative ways

Den 18 november släpptes en nyhet vi aldrig hade kunnat drömma om: Lunds universitet har rankats som etta i QS Hållbarhetsrankning. Vi har alltså inte bara blivit rankade som etta i Sverige och i Europa utan som etta i hela världen!

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt att mängden av ett mikroRNA är förhöjt vid typ 2-diabetes och påverkar utsöndringen av insulin negativt. Deras försök på mänskliga insulinproducerade celler i bukspottskörteln visar även att det går att öka insulinutsöndringen genom att minska mängden av detta mikroRNA. Målsättningen är att forskningen ska leda till nya behandlingar för personer med sjuk

Bioenergi spelar en viktig roll i omställningen till ett fossilfritt samhälle. Men den ”outnyttjade” jordbruksmark, så kallad marginalmark, som är lämplig för att odla bioenergi på i södra Sverige finns i praktiken inte, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Marken är till stor del redan upptagen av exempelvis hästhållning. – Vår studie visar att potentialen för bioenergiproduktion på margina

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what

In a historic decision, Brazil's Supreme Court has voted down the agricultural lobby's attempt to limit Indigenous People's land rights. Sustainability researcher Torsten Krause is cautiously optimistic about the decision, which he believes is positive for both human rights and biodiversity, but fears that it could lead to increased deforestation and mining in Brazil's neighboring countries. – It

We have a new name for the Astronomy Building – Universum!
