Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Somewhere in an abandoned chalk quarry in northeastern Skåne lurks the skeleton of an 84 million-year-old dinosaur. A group of geologists is convinced of it. Now that a number of teeth have been found, the treasure hunt has intensified. The September sun blazes over the extensive chalk quarry outside the Skåne village

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There is an urgent need for agriculture to drastically reduce its negative environmental impacts, while at the same time responding to increasing demand and adapting to a changing climate. For this to be possible, radical change in how we grow our major staple crops is essential. From the 6th through the 10th of May,

De nya blodproven för att diagnostisera Alzheimers sjukdom ger allt bättre möjligheter till tidig diagnos, men en utmaning är att markörerna som mäts förändras långt innan symtom utvecklas. Forskning ledd från Lunds universitet visar nu att en tidigare inte använd blodmarkör kan, när den kombineras med dagens blodmarkörer, betydligt minska risken för att personer får missvisande besked om sjukdom.

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har, i samarbete med italienska forskare, efter en serie studier visat att inte bara en del utan de flesta delarna av hjärnan kan engageras när vi hanterar de signaler som uppstår vid beröring. Resultaten öppnar för en ny syn på hur hjärnans nätverk av nervceller behandlar information, och därmed hur hjärnan fungerar. Forskarna har i flera studier gjort djupgående an
