Forskare vid Lunds universitet och Washington University har upptäckt en blodmarkör som visar hur mycket av Alzheimers sjukdom man bär på i hjärnan. Fynden kan hjälpa att se vem som kan ha mest nytta av de nya läkemedlen som godkänts i bland annat USA, Japan och Kina – och som är på väg att godkännas i Europa. Studien i korthet:En nyupptäckt markör (MTBR-tau243) i blodet kan avslöja hur mycket alz

Enklare analysmetod av blodprov för Alzheimers sjukdom har testats i en stor multicenterstudie, ledd från Lunds universitet. – Detta är ett viktigt steg för att kunna föra in enkla blodprovstester för Alzheimers sjukdom i vården globalt, säger forskarna bakom studien. I korthet:Blodmarkören (P-tau217) kan börja förändras flera år innan alzheimersymtom uppkommer. Markören kan mätas med en enklare o

Många av universitetets forskare publicerar fantastisk forskning som har gjorts med hjälp av artificiell intelligens (AI). Många är nyfikna på att testa AI för att förbättra, förenkla eller påskynda åtminstone någon del av forskningsprocessen. Samtidigt ställer sig många frågan ”vad får man använda AI till?” Utgångspunkten när du använder AI i forskningen är att följa grundprinciperna för forsknin

År 2023 var det varmaste året som någonsin har uppmätts och 2024 kommer att bli ännu varmare. Demokratin är på tillbakagång och bristen på mat ökar, som en följd av militära konflikter, ekonomiska kriser och extremväder. Förenta nationernas möjligheter att agera globalt är betydligt sämre än tidigare, som en följd av det geopolitiska läget. Detta under en tid när vi verkligen skulle behöva interna

Den 12 december presenterade regeringen forsknings- och innovationspropositionen med titeln ”Forskning och innovation för framtid, nyfikenhet och nytta”. En samlad bedömning av propositionen visar att den är mycket mer utmanande för Lunds universitet än någon tidigare forskningsproposition. Den erbjuder stora möjligheter för många forskare och olika typer av forskning, samtidigt som den styr forsk

Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support

When Anders Ackfeldt and 22 other researchers criticised the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency’s (MSB) research report “The Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden” for adding fuel to an overly conspiracy theory-tinged image of Islam, it provoked a deluge of threatening emails the following day. “My children were mentioned in the email and that got me worried. There is a limit when family is concerned. The

Recurrent threats via telephone, email and letter – often in conjunction with being published. That is part of everyday research for gender researcher Diana Mulinari and many of her colleagues. “It is almost systematic. Those who hate and make threats are aggressively sexist and racist. Their hate ideology is based on who I am – a woman with a foreign background.”  Diana Mulinari, is a Doctor of S

For the first time, the University has investigated the collective climate footprint of the entire organisation. Emissions of greenhouse gases fell sharply during the pandemic, almost exclusively due to the suspension of travel. However, there is still a long way to go to meet the emission targets for 2023 in the sustainability plan. The recent report shows that, in 2018, the University emitted a

In high-demand public services where priority pricing aims to ration access, like medical appointments or visa renewals, a new study by Prakriti Thami reveals that this approach may not always benefit consumers. In settings where public services are capacity-constrained and timely access is critical, such as medical appointments, passport renewals, or visa processing, priority pricing is often use

Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) campus. Architect Klas Anshelm’s red brick buildings ha

The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money.
