In recent years, it has become increasingly clear to researchers that the protein galectin-3 is involved in inflammatory diseases in the brain. A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden now shows the de facto key role played by the protein in Alzheimer’s disease. When the researchers shut off the gene th

Intensive efforts are being made in medical research to discover the genomic causes of undiagnosed hereditary diseases. Persistent work and new technology are providing answers to several previously unsolved, enigmatic neurological disorders. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 was one of these, but now a research team in Lund, Sweden, have identified the gene that is responsible. Almost half a million

Researchers at Lund University have developed a new method to determine how the composition of proteins in blood changes in response to disease or organ damage. This could provide a deeper understanding of how diseases affect the body and be used to discover new biomarkers in the blood to aid in diagnosing complex medical conditions. Our organs consist of a variety of specific proteins that are vi

Electrotherapy using injectable nanoparticles delivered directly into the tumour could pave the way for new treatment options for glioblastoma, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive form of brain tumour among adults. Even with intensive treatment, the average survival period is 15 months. The tumour has a high genetic variation

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

Large ships often run on heavy fuel oil, something that leads to pollution and considerable emissions. However, one promising alternative is building or converting engines to run on methanol instead. The Fastwater project led by Lund University in Sweden has received EUR 5 million from the EU to develop the new technology. In 2022, a pilot boat is expected to be launched. The Paris Agreement and a

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people. In recent years, ketamine has emerged as a new treatment for depression, after studies have shown it to be a fast-acting antidepressant. “

A new thesis explores how justice, which is a core principle of the global climate agreements, is considered in the global mitigation pathways assessed by the IPCC for staying within climate policy targets such as the 1.5-degree target. It shows how value-laden assumptions inform many of the pathways, representing a tangible risk to reproduce historical injustices. – Modelled mitigation scenarios

A billion hectares – or an area a bit larger than the US – that is how much land that would be required globally to meet countries’ net-zero climate targets. For the first time researchers can show the rate and extent of projected land use changes, geographically and over time. The findings demonstrate a gap between governments’ expected reliance on land and the role that land can realistically pl

Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and combining them against the virus. The modified antibodies have been tested in human cells and with mice. Many antibodies used to treat covid infection during the pandemic have been so-called neutralizin
