A simpler method of analysing blood samples for Alzheimer’s disease has been tested in a large multicentre study, led by Lund University in Sweden. “This is a major step in bringing simple blood tests for Alzheimer’s disease into the healthcare system globally,” say the researchers behind the study. In brief:The blood-based marker (P-tau217) may start to change several years before the onset of Al

Patients suffering from myocardial infarction who receive early add-on lipid-lowering medication have a significantly better prognosis than those who receive add-on treatment late, or not all. Based on the results of a study from Lund University in Sweden, many new heart attacks, strokes and deaths could be prevented. Cardiovascular disease is by far the most common cause of death worldwide, and m

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

Environmental pioneer Henrik Smith has won a major international ecology prize. He is also keen to emphasise the importance of research activity’s interaction with society – gone are the days when writing an extensive study and then leaving it to gather dust was enough. Henrik Smith, professor of animal ecology at Lund University, has been awarded the internationally renowned Marsh Awards for Ecol

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In

It is not difficult to make the case for interdisciplinary research. Many researchers recognise that today’s and tomorrow’s research challenges require expertise from more than one discipline. Fewer know how to take the next step. How do you find people to work with? How do you develop ideas together? How do you secure funding for projects that do not fit neatly within a single academic field? The

The 'Sustainable Idea Exploration' call is an opportunity for researchers at Lund University to explore the innovative potential of their research and finance activities outside the scope of existing research projects. Its aim is to support the development of early innovative ideas from research projects that can contribute to sustainability. Four projects have now been granted funding in the call

Internationalisation has become more important – and more complex – in recent years. In a world where democracy and academic freedom are under threat, Lund University needs to take greater responsibility for its international collaboration, according to International Coordinator Pär Svensson. In recent years, the focus on internationalisation, through the Global Dynamic Engagement (GDE) approach i

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

I en observationsstudie från Lunds universitet är resultaten tydliga: fram till två års ålder ser en mer fiberrik mat ut att minska risken för celiaki, glutenintolerans. Särskilt tydlig koppling sågs när barn hade ätit fiberrik mat före ett års ålder. – Det är första gången förekomsten av celiaki studeras utifrån fibrer i barns kost.

Ungefär var femte person väljer redan bort amerikanska varumärken enligt en ny studie. De allra flesta kan tänka sig att bojkotta amerikanska produkter som Coca-Cola till förmån för europeiska eller svenska alternativ. En studie gjord av varumärkesforskare på Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet tillsammans med Norstat Sverige visar att så gott som alla svenska konsumenter har köpt eller använt

Vårdbedömning via chattfunktion är ett sätt för vårdcentraler att effektivisera vården, men det innebär ett helt nytt arbetssätt att medicinskt bedöma patienter. En studie vid Lunds universitet visar att sjuksköterskor behöver bredda sin professionella kompetens, utöver de kunskaper de traditionellt använder. En stor del av sjuköterskornas arbete på vårdcentraler består av att bedöma patienters vå

Musikhögskolan i Malmö har i dag en levande forskningsverksamhet där postdoktortjänster spelar en viktig roll för att driva det konstnärliga fältet framåt. En av dem som innehaft en sådan tjänst är tubaisten Jack Adler-McKean, en internationellt verksam musiker och forskare som i sitt projekt har fördjupat sig i tubafamiljens historia och utmanat idén om musikerns roll i forskningsvärlden.

Bly. PCB. Bekämpningsmedel och bromerade flamskyddsmedel. Samt plasttillsatser och tungmetaller. Det var vad forskare i Lund hittade när de samlade in döda igelkottar för att undersöka vilka miljöföroreningar som finns i urbana miljöer. Urbana gröna områden är attraktiva för många vilda arter, men innehåller också en rad ohållbara syntetiska material och kemikalier. Igelkottar vandrar långa sträck
