After several years of reduced air travel due to the Covid pandemic, business trips involving flights have now risen to about the same level as before the pandemic. In other words, the goal of a 50 per cent reduction by the end of 2023 is remote, and new activities are needed to reduce the climate impact of air travel, which is one of the largest single emission sources linked to Lund University s

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to extreme heights during a full moon, seemingly catching insects in the moonlight. And, during a lunar eclipse, the birds simultaneously lost altitude. The results are published in Current Biology. The b

Megg Garcia-Ryde’s thesis sheds light on the early pathological processes in Alzheimer’s disease and the interplay between neurons and microglia as the disease evolves. October 10, she defends her thesis. Now, she gives her perspectives from a close collaboration between two of MultiPark’s experimental research groups and how she brings together the expertise of both groups. Tell us about your res

Economists are obsessed with growth. So says economist Timothée Parrique, who has recently attracted attention for his research into degrowth. He thinks that creativity is missing from economic theory. “Economists stubbornly attempt to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s theories,” he says. Trusting one’s gut instinct can bring rewards. In Timothée Parrique’s case that was certainly true – tod

Modern RNA-sekvensering kan ge bröstcancervården värdefulla ledtrådar och matcha enskilda patienter till rätt behandling – utifrån tumörens unika egenskaper och genuttryck. I en aktuell studie har data och genuttryck från drygt 7 700 cancertumörer använts för att utveckla vässade analysmodeller av RNA-sekvenseringen; en analys av ett enskilt vävnadsprov kan beskriva flera av tumörens egenskaper.

A combination of two imaging methods can be used to achieve structural and chemical information within a single neuron. Researchers from MultiPark at Lund University recently developed this approach. Their study reveals that amyloid aggregates, implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, may cause clustering of iron in primary neurons. Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of dementia. Understanding where a
