Megg Garcia-Ryde’s thesis sheds light on the early pathological processes in Alzheimer’s disease and the interplay between neurons and microglia as the disease evolves. October 10, she defends her thesis. Now, she gives her perspectives from a close collaboration between the experimental neuroinflammation laboratory and the experimental dementia research group and how she brings together the exper

– We have a moral responsibility to document loss of cultural heritage, indigenous and local knowledge, declining ecosystems and eroding sense of place, says LUCSUS post-doctoral fellow Guy Jackson. He has co-authored a literature review on non-economic loss and damage which highlights the need for more research on intangible cultural heritage, and how it connects to our physical surroundings, as

Covid-19 and the subsequent closure of universities around the world have meant that we all quickly had to learn how to teach remotely. Educators all over the world have gathered experiences and evaluated them, and talk about the present as a "new normal" where both teachers and students expect universities to take advantage of knowledge and skills acquired during the pandemic.

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The forest is currently at the centre of an intense debate. It concerns, in simplified terms, which climate benefits the forest can provide, either by sequestering carbon in standing forest, or by being used to substitute fossil fuels and fossil-intensive materials.

Few research publications reach outside the realm of academia and even fewer make an impact on sustainability debates and societal issues. Kimberly Nicholas’ research on lifestyle choices to reduce your carbon footprint is unique in its reach and impact on society. Her research started with a question, asked by friends and students: what can I do for the climate that really makes a difference? Kim

Food impacts not only the body but also the brain. Researchers at Lund University strive to understand how a diet rich on fat and sugar impacts memory functions in relation to obesity and type 2 diabetes. Their new study on mice shows that although an unhealthy diet leads to memory impairment, the damage does not have to be permanent. Obesity is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and car

One of Multipark's associated research groups has published a new study that reveals the role of astrocytes in the development of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Their findings, now in the journal Brain Communications, provide valuable insights into the cellular mechanisms of the disease and open up new possibilities for developing early diagnostics and potential interventions for patients with FTD

Researchers at Lund University have developed a technique for simultaneously measuring electrical signals from 128 areas of the brain in awake rats. They have then used the information to measure what happens to the neurons when the rats are given psychedelic drugs. The results show an unexpected and simultaneous synchronisation among neurons in several regions of the brain. In light of the develo

Scientists all over the world agree: the earth is getting hotter and hotter and extreme weather such as heat waves or prolonged droughts create a greater risk of forest fires. In a new photographic exhibition in the Pufendorf Institute's garden in Lund, visitors could take part of powerful photographs of how people, animals and communities are affected by forest fires.
