A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. It has long been known that t

The roof fire at BMC in May was caused by a loose contact in the fire brigade switch for the solar cells. The switch has been replaced and now the renovation begins. The first step is to restore the roof. Scaffolding and weather protection are in place. The roof has extensive damage and currently it's impossible to say when the work will be finished. Discussions about what the renovated premises s

They then work for seven hours under the burning sun in the middle of nowhere in Egypt’s desert landscape among venomous scorpions and lizards. They only stop work for lunch and a typical Egyptian chai tea break. “The most common danger is sunstro

Diabetesepidemin i Europa och i världen är nu så omfattande, så allvarlig och ett så stort hot mot folkhälsan att hela samhället måste engageras. Ord som ”vår tids pest” och frågor som ”varför förlorar vi kampen mot diabetes” präglade EU-mötet i Köpenhamn där 760 politiker, tjänstemän och forskare samlats för ett ge

The city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

The exhibition “Coded Threads” traces threads from the origin of the digital, the woven fabric, into today’s and tomorrow’s digital realities. The loom is the basis of binary coding: the thread can go over or under the warp, be a one or a zero. The thread is coded and acquires meaning – becomes an image, a pattern, a calculation, an algorithm. Everything can become data through the thread in the w

As 2025 gets under way, the University, and I dare say the whole higher education sector, has got off to a flying start. The reason for this flying start is, of course, the Research and Innovation Bill that was presented just before Christmas and has since been analysed from all angles. The analysis will continue, as the parts that are still unclear take shape in the Spring Budget or in new direct

Obesity is associated with reduced muscle mass and impaired metabolism. Epigenetic changes that affect the formation of new muscle cells may be a contributing factor, according to new research from Lund University, Sweden. In a new study, doctoral student Cajsa Davegårdh has studied so-called DNA methylation in muscle stem cells in both obese and non-obese individuals. DNA methylation is an epigen
