The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

The new Global Biodiversity Framework is seen as an important step towards addressing the nature crisis, not least the ambitious goal to restore, protect and conserve 30 per cent of land and 30 per cent of the water globally by 2030.  Mine Islar, senior lecturer at LUCSUS, and coordinating lead author of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), shares her refl

I början av hösten äger många disputationer rum vid Medicinska fakulteten. Här är tre av dem: Fabian Larrosa Pardo om patienter som söker vård för smärta, och hur smärtan och dess konsekvenser kan utvecklas på sikt. Kenta Okuyama om vad platsen där vi bor spelar för roll för våra hälsoval. Cecilia Häggsgård om upplevelsen av att ha extra förlossningsstöd under utdrivningsskedets sista del. Fokus:

Metoder framtagna av CASE-forskare används vid forskning även utanför nätverket inom åldrande. Nyligen publicerades en artikel inom idrottsvetenskap, där CASE:s postdoktor Arlind Reuter är medförfattare. – Med min bakgrund inom deltagande och designbaserade metoder, bidrog jag till utvecklingen av en deltagande workshopmetodik. På så sätt kunde vi ta fram strategier, som kan förebygga hjärnskaknin

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Sixty-six million years ago, a gigantic celestial body crashed to Earth on the Yucatán peninsula, forming a crater 200 kilometres across. The impact plunged Earth into darkness and killed off the dinosaurs. Now, researchers from Lund University in Sweden, among others, are analysing drill cores from the crater to reco

In an infection, there are tens of thousands of peptides that provide a wealth of information about which bacteria have caused the infection and how severe it is. A research team at Lund University has now combined clinical questions with mathematical methods to systematically analyze these peptides. This scientific breakthrough has the potential to transform the diagnosis and treatment of infecti

Palliativ vård som inleds redan när en person diagnostiseras med en dödlig sjukdom, kan få en avgörande roll för att bibehålla eller förbättra dennes livskvalitet. Besök på akutmottagning och inläggningar på sjukhus minskar också drastiskt när palliativ vård påbörjas tidigt. Detta visar en avhandling från Lunds universitet. I Sverige är 90 procent av dem som får palliativ vård cancerpatienter. Jäm

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. If in the future electrodes are inserted into the human brain – either for research purposes or to treat diseases – it may be appropriate to give them a ‘coat’ of nanowires that could make them less irritating for the brain tissue. However, the nanowires must not exceed a certain length, according to new research from

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. This means you can use bacteria to determine whether someone has just been to the beach, got off the train in the city
