Alzheimers sjukdom kännetecknas av onormal spridning och ansamling av proteinet tau i hjärnan. En internationell studie visar nu hur tau sprids enligt fyra distinkta mönster som leder till olika symtom med olika prognoser för de drabbade individerna. Studien publiceras i Nature Medicine. – Till skillnad mot hur vi hittills tolkat spridningen av tau i hjärnan, visar fynden från denna studie att tau

Världsdiabetesdagen firas den 14 november, Frederick Bantings födelsedag. Han har fått äran av att 1921 ha upptäckt insulinet. För nästan 2000 år sedan gav den turkiske läkaren Aretaios sjukdomen sitt namn. ”Det syns mig som om sjukdomen bör kallas diabetes – något som liknar ett vattenrör, därför att vätskan inte stannar i kroppen utan använder människan som ett vattenrör, genom vilket den rinner

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

IndiCell, short for Individualized Cell Therapy, is a national initiative in Sweden to speed up the development of advanced therapies that can help treat or cure a range of diseases and medical conditions. The project, led by researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University, is now celebrating its second anniversary. Launched in 2021 with funding from Vinnova, the Swedish Innovation Age

Inflammatory responses in the brain have long been suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer’s disease, but are challenging to monitor in the living human brain. An international collaboration including researchers at MultiPark, Lund University has made it possible to detect elevated levels of Galectin-3, a protein expressed in the immune cells inside the brain. The results were published in Acta N

At the end of October 2022, the Swedish Medical Products Agency gave the go-ahead for a clinical trial of the stem cell-based therapy STEM-PD for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The cells, generated from embryonic stem cells, have been in development for several years and will now be transplanted into patients with Parkinson’s to replace nerve cells lost due to the disease. The clinical tria

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

A large international study has identified three different pathways towards type 1 diabetes in children. Researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre have contributed with data from a prospective study in southern Sweden. An important objective with the study published in Nature Communications is to gain a better understanding of how the disease develops to be able to take preventive measures. “

Obesity and excess weight increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but individuals of normal weight can also develop the disease. Researchers at Lund University have discovered that it is possible to identify at-risk individuals by measuring BMI in a new way. The authors of the study have identified metabolic alterations associated with obesity that can increase the risk of developing type

A research initiative at LUCSUS examines how inner dimensions and transformation can support people to live more sustainably and drive change. Addressing (the causes and effects of) climate change is one of the most important societal challenges of our time. The demands for political action are becoming stronger from all levels of society, including individuals, social movements, businesses, and g

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.

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

Several Qur’an burnings occurred in Sweden this summer leading to protests in Muslim-majority countries. The repercussions might be limited in the short-term with the strong reactions from governments and Islamic organisations mostly being of a symbolic nature. However, the increasing perception in many countries in the MENA region that Swedish state and society are hostile to Islam endangers Swed
