This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

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

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This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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

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This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Graviditetsdiabetes är ett diabetestillstånd som upptäcks under graviditet. Ofta beror det på de hormonförändringar som uppträder under graviditet vilka medför en ökad insulinresistens, det vill säga ett ökat motstånd mot insulinets effekter. Diagnosen utesluter dock inte diabetes av annan orsak som upptäcks under g

En internationell studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar att en kollision i asteroidbältet för 470 miljoner år sedan radikalt förändrade livet på jorden. Solsystemet fylldes med enorma mängder damm varpå en unik istid, följd av en ökad biologisk mångfald, uppstod. Den nya upptäckten kan också bidra till förståelsen för hur vi kan tackla den pågående globala uppvärmningen på jorden om

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Tidigare har forskning om innovationer ofta poängterat att företag inom samma bransch gynnas av att ligga nära varandra, i så kallade kluster. Men är detta alltid viktigt? Nej, menar kulturgeografen Roman Martin vid Lunds universitet som har analyserat ett 90-tal skånska företag och kommit fram till att vissa näring
