Alzheimers sjukdom kännetecknas av onormal spridning och ansamling av proteinet tau i hjärnan. En internationell studie visar nu hur tau sprids enligt fyra distinkta mönster som leder till olika symtom med olika prognoser för de drabbade individerna. Studien publiceras i Nature Medicine. – Till skillnad mot hur vi hittills tolkat spridningen av tau i hjärnan, visar fynden från denna studie att tau

A warmer global climate can cause mutations to have more severe consequences for the health of organisms through their detrimental effect on protein function. This may have major repercussions for an organisms’ ability to adapt to, and survive in, the altered habitats of the future. This is shown in a new research study now published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Na

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

Varje år tar cirka 1 500 personer livet av sig i Sverige. Den största riskfaktorn för suicid är att personen tidigare försökt ta sitt liv vid ett eller flera tillfällen. I en ny studie från Lunds universitet visar forskare att suicidrisken hos personer som försökt ta sitt liv kvarstår under lång tid. – Vi har i studien följt personerna i över 30 år och kan konstatera att om en person gjort upprepa

Forskare vid Sahlgrenska akademin har identifierat ett särskilt enzym som verkar vara betydelsefullt för utvecklingen av insulinresistens och diabetes typ 2. Upptäckten kan vara ett viktigt steg mot en ny behandling. Omkring 300 000 svenskar har typ 2 diabetes, som är en kronisk ämnesomsättningssjukdom där grundproblemet är att kroppen bildar otillräckligt med insulin eller att insulinet inte har

Patienter med frontotemporal demens saknar ofta förmågan till empati. En studie vid Lunds universitet och Karolinska Institutet kan nu visa att de här patienterna inte visar samma aktivitet i hjärnan som friska individer när de bevittnar andras smärta, en kunskap som man hoppas ska öka förståelsen för den här specifika demenssjukdomen. – Det är en viktig pusselbit som nu faller på plats när vi kan
