Studier av fettceller kan öka kunskapen om hur olika viktminskningsbehandlingar påverkar individer med obesitas. Men fettceller är svåra att studera eftersom de är sköra och lätt går sönder. Karin Stenkula får nu ett anslag för ett projekt som kommer att använda sig av ny teknik för att studera hur fettceller påverkas vid viktminskning. Diabetesforskaren Karin Stenkula leder en forskargrupp som st

Hantering av långvarig sjukdom. Effekter av fysisk aktivitet. Bostadens betydelse för ett bra åldrande. Spännvidden är stor i de ämnen som SWEAH:s tolv nya doktorander djupdyker i. Tolv nya doktorander har anslutits till den nationella forskarskolan inom åldrande och hälsa. Vid ett digitalt introduktionsmöte i början av året fick de chans att lära känna varandras forskningsprojekt. Sofi Sandström

När Donald Trump nyligen tillkännagav importtullar för stål och aluminium fördömdes han av frihandelsförespråkare över hela världen. Hans belackare menade att den amerikanske presidenten inte förstår att handelsprotektionism skulle innebära en katastrof för världsekonomin. Det må så vara. Men det handlar om samme Trump som också fick massiv kritik när han valde att dra sig ur Parisavtalet. Trump i

Genom att beskriva sin forskning som en kamp mellan ont och gott och likna sig själv vid en hacker som attackerar cancerceller för att göra dem snälla tog doktoranden Luís Oliveira hem vinsten i årets deltävling av Forskar Grand Prix. Det är en tävling i presentationsteknik för forskare och i år genomfördes den inför en publik på nästan 400 elever på Helsingborgs stadsteater den 1 oktober. Hans pr

Hur kommer det sig att en del rökare utvecklar KOL, fastän de inte röker fler cigaretter än andra som inte utvecklar sjukdomen? Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet i samarbete med holländska och kanadensiska forskare* hittat en gen som kan vara svaret på frågan. Mellan 500 00

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's di

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Just like self-driving cars, we can expect autonomous ships to become more common in the coming years. However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control. In his research, Mårten Lager has developed use

Delving into the realm where light and matter converge, Mattias Bertolino's embarks on a theoretical exploration of photoionization. Focusing on multiphoton ionization of noble gas atoms, using a mixture of extreme-ultraviolet and infrared light, he explores the intricate interplay between light and matter. He aims to improve our understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matt

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da
