The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio

Marknadens spelregler ger inte lantbrukare incitament att använda jordbruksmetoder som gynnar klimat och miljö på lång sikt. Det är ett misslyckande som kräver politiska åtgärder, anser nationalekonomen Mark Brady vid SLU och CEC, Lunds universitet. I en ny studie visar han hur ekosystemtjänster kan ges ett ekonomis

På senare år har det gjorts stora framsteg i utvecklingen av nya framgångsrika immunterapier för att behandla cancer. Så kallad CAR-T-cellbehandling och behandling med antikroppar är två typer av målriktade immunterapier som har revolutionerat delar av cancervården. Men än kvarstår stora utmaningar med att identifiera proteiner på cancercellers yta som mål för immunterapier. En forskargrupp i Lund
