Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the

Nyligen lämnade socialtjänsten i Malmö på polisens begäran ut sekretessbelagda uppgifter om papperslösa familjer. Denna begäran var en del av polisens intensifierade arbete med att söka efter och avvisa personer som lever i papperslöshet. Således agerade Malmös socialtjänst som polisens förlängda arm.Från Socialhögskolans sida vill vi lyfta fram vikten av ett professionsetiskt perspektiv, vilket i

Artificial intelligence has gone from horror visions on film to a tool in everyone’s pocket. From spelling advice to shopping tips – and now to assigning work and measuring performance. What’s next? We met with organisational researcher Sverre Spoelstra to talk about algorithmic leadership and management. You may not have your boss in an app, yet. But the idea is not as futuristic as it may sound.

Engaging students during seminars is a common challenge for higher education teachers. Learning is always the outcome of the students’ activity, and teachers can only facilitate, encourage, hinder or discourage learning (Ambrose et al., 2010). Indeed, a seminar only works if participants are active and come prepared. However, students face different struggles when preparing for seminars. Micol Mie

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers.

What happens when a group of people share a big interest, want to develop this, and spread it further? Well, if this group consists of PhD students, master students, teachers and researchers at LUSEM really good things can happen, as the establishment of a new Data Science Lab.

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

Stem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified. “If you are interested in working with blood stem cells in Sweden, this is the place to be.” So says Martin Hjort

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

How do you get a robot to behave in an ethical and moral way? Christian Balkenius is giving this a lot of thought, as it is the topic of his research project. However, he is also thinking about ethics among robot researchers.  “It’s often said that we have advanced further than we actually have done. The aim of the research is not fulfilled if we are not honest.”  Robots pique the imagination and
