Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Ett internationellt konsortium av forskare, bland andra från Lunds universitet, har granskat och analyserat proteinkodande gener från nästan 46 000 personer och kopplat sällsynta DNA-förändringar till typ 2-diabetes. Studien, som är en av de största kända i sitt slag, innehåller data från personer med europeiskt, af

Neuroforskare i Lund har utvecklat en ny högteknologisk process för att skräddarsy virushöljen, för transport av genmedicin som ska nå exakt den celltyp i kroppen som behöver behandlas. Forskarna menar att den nya teknologin kan liknas vid att de dramatiskt snabbar upp evolutionen från miljontals år till veckor. Flera av de nya revolutionerande behandlingarna som nått kliniken de senaste åren för

Idag är Alzheimers sjukdom den vanligaste dödsorsaken för personer med Downs syndrom. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har därför, i samarbete med Alzheimer’s Biomarker Consortium – Down Syndrome i USA, undersökt biomarkörer i blodplasman hos denna grupp. Dessa markörer kan hjälpa till att förutsäga framtida förändringar i hjärnan och kognitiv nedsättning vid Alzheimers sjukdom, för personer med Dow

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Psykoterapi mot panikångest ger goda resultat och effekten av behandlingen håller i sig. Det visar den största långtidsstudie som någonsin gjorts i Sverige. Två år efter behandling var 70 procent av patienterna tydligt förbättrade och 45 procent hade inga eller minimala symptom. Panikångest är en av de vanligaste an

Circular carbon. Internationellt blir ”cirkulärt kol” allt populärare bland stora företag som vill profilera sig som hållbara och klimatneutrala. Är det något att hoppas på, och vad betyder ens orden? Forskarna Ellen Palm och Joachim Tilsted förklarar och ser samtidigt en elefant i rummet. Tillsammans med kollegorna Alexandra Nikoleris och Valentin Vogl har Ellen Palm och Joachim Tilsted, forskare

I en nyligen publicerad översiktsartikel från Lunds universitet, har forskare analyserat förekomsten av kejsarsnitt i olika europeiska länder. Resultaten visar att privata sjukhus i flera länder har en högre andel kejsarsnitt än offentliga sjukhus, även bland kvinnor i lågriskgrupper. Kejsarsnittsfrekvensen varierade från cirka 17 procent i norra Europa till över 50 procent i södra Europa. Kejsars

In order to be able to prescribe the appropriate dose of physical activity to patients, healthcare professionals need to consider a range of individual factors. There is a need to facilitate the assessment of aerobic capacity i. e. maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max), as well as to calculate the intensity of training according to the WHO recommendations for physical activity. Now, researchers

Researchers at Lund University have developed a technique for simultaneously measuring electrical signals from 128 areas of the brain in awake rats. They have then used the information to measure what happens to the neurons when the rats are given psychedelic drugs. The results show an unexpected and simultaneous synchronisation among neurons in several regions of the brain. In light of the develo

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a digital cognitive test for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease that is intended for use in primary care. “This digital test, which patients perform on their own with minimal involvement from healthcare personnel, improves the primary care physician's ability to determine who should be further examined by blood tests for Alzheimer's pathology ear

Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease that can lead to serious health problems. It is important to find ways to predict the disease to take preventive measures. A large interdisciplinary study led by Lund University has identified a biomarker in the blood that predicts type 2 diabetes several years before diagnosis. Diabetes is on the rise and over time, diabetes can lead to complications such as c

The idea behind procurement is to guarantee the right product or service at the right price. But what happens when public procurements are consciously structured to avoid appeals – or are simply discontinued early? Fredrik Tesch-Morawetz’s doctoral thesis in business law examines these issues and has been commended by the Lund University School of Economics and Management as the faculty’s best the

A discussion on semiconductors was on the agenda in Almedalen. The dialogue, hosted by LTH at Lund University, addressed how Sweden can contribute to the efforts being made in Europe. One of the conclusions of the discussion was "the crisper the proposal – the more policy influence". Semiconductors are a strategically important component of today's and tomorrow's society. The technology is needed
