Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Insulinresistens, som innebär ökad risk för hjärt- kärlsjukdom, brukar förknippas med övervikt och typ 2 diabetes. Nu visar en undersökning att också unga typ 1 diabetiker är insulinresistenta. Forskare vid universitetet i Colorado, USA, har undersökt 24 ungdomar i åldrarna 12 till 19 år. Hälften av dem hade typ 1 d

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Inlärning bygger på att kontakterna mellan hjärnans nervceller förstärks eller dämpas. Det är i alla fall den traditionella synen men den utmanas nu av nya forskningsfynd från Lunds universitet. Enligt dessa finns det också en tredje mekanism, en sorts klockfunktion som ger enskilda nervceller förmågan att tidsinstä

I mitten av juli meddelade forskarteamet bakom COVID Symptom Study Sverige att de avslutar datainsamlingen. De riktade ett stort tack till alla som bidragit med viktiga data, data som bidragit till forskningsrapporter och möjligheten att följa smittspridningen. Sedan studien lanserades i april 2020 har drygt 208 000 personer i Sverige skickat in fler än 20 miljoner dagsrapporter via appen COVID Sy

Congratulations to Jacob Vogel and Camila Consiglio who have been awarded grants to develop their research projects on Alzheimer's and fertility. Camila Consiglio's research focuses on infertility and the immune system that plays a central role in determining reproductive success. Jacob Vogel and his research team will develop computational simulations of Alzheimer’s disease enabling virtual exper

De neutraliserande antikroppar som forskarvärlden hittills fokuserat på skyddar genom att blockera virusets förmåga att fästa in till våra celler. En studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar att även icke-neutraliserande antikroppar kan ha betydelse för skydd mot SARS-CoV-2.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future.

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

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

Continuous-cover forestry methods are gaining attention as a way to enable forests to deliver a broader range of benefits. The aim is to make forestry more sustainable, but significant challenges remain. These will now be addressed in a new project where five organizations are testing continuous-cover forestry in practice. In Bockeboda, just outside Kristianstad, the future of continuous-cover for
