A research team led by Lund University has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. This means you can use bacteria to determine whether someone has just been to the beach, got off the train in the city centre or

En forskningsstudie vid Lunds universitet visar att det finns ett samband mellan selenbrist och en ökad risk för att utveckla hjärtsvikt. Risken är dubbelt så hög för de personer som har låga nivåer av selen. Hjärtsvikt är en folksjukdom som drabbar 250 000 svenskar. Vid hjärtsvikt orkar hjärtat inte pumpa tillräckligt med blod ut i kroppen och sjukdomen är förenad med mycket dålig prognos. Sedan

Trots att språkliga och kommunikativa kompetenser spelar en central och avgörande roll i allt mänskligt (sam)arbete uppmärksammas fenomenet sällan i diskussioner om framtidens arbetsliv.

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

Det moderna medborgarskapets utmärks av att det är både internt inkluderande och externt exkluderande. Det växte fram i denna form under det "långa 1800-talet", alltså perioden mellan den franska revolutionen och första världskriget. Denna period var, liksom vår egen, präglad av ökad migration, både inhemsk och internationell. Av särskild politisk betydelse var fattiga människors mobilitet, som bå
