Över två miljoner människor, bara i Sverige, lever med sjukdom kopplat till hjärta och lungor. Framgångsrik forskning har bidragit till att färre dör, men hjärt-lungsjukdomar är fortfarande bland de vanligaste dödsorsakerna. Nu delar Hjärt-Lungfonden ut 76 miljoner kronor till forskning vid Lunds universitet. Fyra av de 37 forskarna som får projektanslag i denna omgång är:  Henrik Engblom, adjunge

Ett naturligt ämne från äppelträdets bark har potential att förändra den vanligaste dialysbehandlingen i hemmet. Ämnet blockerar nämligen cellerna från att ta upp glukos från dialysvätskan, vilket effektiviserar vattenborttagning och förhindrar viktökning. Upptäckten som publiceras i Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, markerar ett paradigmskifte menar forskaren och ST-läkaren Carl Öber

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. It has long been known that t

A new joint initiative in immunotherapy between Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, brings researchers, clinicians and engineers together to shorten the path from research to patient benefit. The initiative is accompanied by the recruitment of three new tenure‑track Assistant Professors in immunotherapy through the Lund University Programme for Global Excellence. The initiative

Our city centres and their development are a subject of constant debate. Ulf Johansson suggests that, if we let the market decide, our city centres will eventually be emptied of retail. Most recently, representatives from our food retailers suggested to municipalities that regulations on establishment locations be relaxed, advocating for the mantra of letting the market rule (Dagligvarunytt 2022a,

There is a lot happening at the moment within the University concerning LU’s engagement in the work environment and equal opportunities. It is time to elect health and safety representatives – a very significant role. We are also marking 150 years since women gained the right to study at university and highlighting the fantastic attendance when LU took part in Pride for the first time. Take the op

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv

What is the perfect recipe for semiconductors? Vanya Darakchieva is working on the answer in her research on novel semiconductor materials. As a professor of solid state physics at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), she is a “research chef” designing the future cookbook for sustainable and safe electronics. Understanding and explaining the mysteries of nature was Vanya Darakchieva’s dream during he

Varje dag dör fyra människor i Sverige i självmord. Bättre strategier för bedömning av suicidrisk, ökad kunskap inom primärvården och större fokus på dem som tidigare gjort självmordsförsök, kan sannolikt rädda fler liv. Det visar en ny avhandling om suicid och riskfaktorer, som nu läggs fram vid Lunds universitet. – Över 90 procent av de personer som dör i suicid i Sverige, har haft kontakt med h

Sambandet djupa blodsockerfall och försämrade kognitiva funktioner hos barn med typ 1-diabetes är i forskningen väl undersökt och beskrivet. Men hur det är med de äldre är mer okänt, bland de som har haft sjukdomen i många år och haft flera, kanske många, djupa blodsockerfall. Hur har deras kognition påverkats av sj

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har tillsammans med kollegor vid synkotronanläggningen NIST i USA, på atomnivå kartlagt vad som sker i en viruspartikel när temperaturen höjs. – När temperaturen höjs, byter virusets genetiska material form samt densitet och blir mer vätskeliknande – vilket leder till att det snabbt injiceras i cellen, säger Alex Evilevitch, som lett studien som nu publiceras i PNAS.

Forskning visar att gröna och artrika utemiljöer kring skolor och förskolor främjar barns välbefinnande och lärande. Trots det har vi relativt ont om natur på svenska skolgårdar. Varför är det så – och vad kan göras annorlunda för att skapa mer natur på skolgårdar? För att diskutera detta bjöd LU Land in till ett digitalt seminarium med tre experter på området. Här följer en sammanfattning av semi

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Can tumors teach us about animal evolution on Earth? Researchers believe so and now present a novel hypothesis of why animal diversity increased dramatically on Earth about half a billion years ago. A biological innovation may have been key.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plastic particles in water may end up inside fish brains. The plastic can cause brain damage, which is the likely cause of behavioural disorders observed in the fish.
