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

Tanken med upphandlingar är att säkerställa rätt vara eller tjänst, till rätt pris. Men vad händer när upphandlingar medvetet struktureras för att inte bjuda in till överklagningar – eller helt enkelt avbryts i förtid? Fredrik Tesch-Morawetz doktorsavhandling i handelsrätt tar upp detta. Den prisas av Ekonomihögskolan som fakultetens bästa avhandling från 2019. Varje år köper det offentliga Sverig

For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defence mechanism in aggressive brain tumours: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumour cells and protects them against a particularly destructive form of cell death. Aggressive brain tumours grow in an extreme environment characterised by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, low pH and chronic cellular stress. Insid

Daniel Bexell, Joan Yuan and Andreas Nilsson have each been awarded the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant. They will spend five years conducting research on childhood cancer neuroblastoma, the crucial role of B cells in our immune system and the Earth’s magnetic field.

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w

A machine allowing researchers to rely on objective, automatized readouts instead of subjective manual counting under the microscope. Incredible pictures. And the possibility to follow live cellular events. The Operetta is the answer to these demands. The interest in using the new MultiPark infrastructure is big. In March, MultiPark received the new Operetta CLS instrument, upgrading the former Ce

There is a tiny cyclops among your oldest ancestors, and humans share these remarkable ancestral roots with all other vertebrates. This according to new, surprising research on the evolution of the eye. Researchers from Lund University and University of Sussex have found that all vertebrates evolved from a distant ancestor that had a single eye located at the top of its head. The study also reveal

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone. In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, distr

Inom hälso- och sjukvården används kostindex för att bedöma om en person har ohälsosamma matvanor. Kostindex hjälper forskare att bedöma hur graden av följsamhet, det vill säga i vilken utsträckning vi följer en viss diet, påverkar hälsan. Tillförlitliga kostindex är även viktiga för att myndigheter ska kunna utveckla hållbara näringsrekommendationer. Ett internationellt forskarlag har studerat sj

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en metod för att mäta hur många RNA-molekyler som levereras in i en cell. Kunskapen är värdefull när man undersöker dosmängd vid RNA-läkemedels– och vaccinforskning, inte minst inom områden som cancer, virus- och bakterieinfektioner. Under pandemin blev det tydligt vilka möjligheter de genetiska budbärarmolekylerna (mRNA) öppnar upp för, då man för förs

Från dissad artikel till världsledande alzheimerforskning. Kaj Blennow har gjort det möjligt att upptäcka Alzheimers sjukdom upp till 20 år innan symtomen visar sig, vilket inte bara förändrat forskningen – utan också lagt grunden för nya terapier. Nu belönas han med Eric K. Fernströms Nordiska pris för sin banbrytande forskning. Professor Kaj Blennow sätter sig gärna i sadeln för ett dressyrpass.

When the late summer sun falls over Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains, the slopes turn purple with blooming heather. Honeybees are moved to the heathlands for the sought-after heather honey, but their presence affects wild bumblebees. An Irish-Swedish research team has shown in a new study that wild bumblebees change their behaviour and are smaller in size when the number of beehives increases. The rese
