Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

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

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. ”Typ 2 diabetes drabbar inte bara far- och morföräldrarna längre. Det har också blivit barnens sjukdom.” Uttalandet är Francine Kaufmans, president för American Diabetes Association. I Sverige är än så länge typ 2 diabetes ovanligt bland barn men i många andra länder är det annorlunda. I exempelvis USA har fler än 2

Hur kan fåglar undvika att krocka när de flyger i täta lövverk och i andra trånga miljöer med många hinder? Och vad innebär det för fåglarna att flyga i sådana komplexa miljöer? De frågorna funderade Per Henningsson vid Lunds universitet på innan han gjorde slag i saken och tog hjälp av familjens egen tama undulat för att ta reda på svaren. Nu publiceras studien i Royal Society Open Science. Pande

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har tillsammans med kollegor vid synkotronanläggningen NIST i USA, på atomnivå kartlagt vad som sker i en viruspartikel när temperaturen höjs. – När temperaturen höjs, byter virusets genetiska material form samt densitet och blir mer vätskeliknande – vilket leder till att det snabbt injiceras i cellen, säger Alex Evilevitch, som lett studien som nu publiceras i PNAS.

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Sambandet djupa blodsockerfall och försämrade kognitiva funktioner hos barn med typ 1-diabetes är i forskningen väl undersökt och beskrivet. Men hur det är med de äldre är mer okänt, bland de som har haft sjukdomen i många år och haft flera, kanske många, djupa blodsockerfall. Hur har deras kognition påverkats av sj

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky.

Studying at university can be quite different from many students’ expectations if all teaching is digital. Being a new student in a solely digital learning environment can make it challenging to get to know other students and lecturers, to be part of a social context and to feel a sense of belonging to Lund University, which comes more naturally on campus. There is not a world of difference in ter

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people. In recent years, ketamine has emerged as a new treatment for depression, after studies have shown it to be a fast-acting antidepressant. “

Diskussionen om universitetets etablering i Science Village har fortsatt under året, men med en ny inriktning. Under året har projektgruppen för Etapp 2, efter ett förslag från profilområdet ”Ljus och material” analyserat möjliga omfattningar, behov av laboratorier och logistik och med hjälp av arkitekter har en första skiss på en byggnad tagits fram, som skulle kunna placeras intill NanoLab Scien

Ett naturligt ämne från äppelträdets bark har potential att förändra den vanligaste dialysbehandlingen i hemmet. Ämnet blockerar nämligen cellerna från att ta upp glukos från dialysvätskan, vilket effektiviserar vattenborttagning och förhindrar viktökning. Upptäckten som publiceras i Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, markerar ett paradigmskifte menar forskaren och ST-läkaren Carl Öber

Eldhärjade skogsområden i Norden fortsätter att avge koldioxid långt efter att lågorna slocknat. Utsläppen är till och med betydligt högre efter en brand, än medan den pågår. Det visar en ny unik studie från Lunds universitet, där effekten av den omfattande skogsbranden i Ljusdal den torra sommaren 2018 har studerats. Att klimatförändringen, med stigande temperaturer som följd, ökar risken för sko
