In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Just like self-driving cars, we can expect autonomous ships to become more common in the coming years. However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control. In his research, Mårten Lager has developed use

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

Delving into the realm where light and matter converge, Mattias Bertolino's embarks on a theoretical exploration of photoionization. Focusing on multiphoton ionization of noble gas atoms, using a mixture of extreme-ultraviolet and infrared light, he explores the intricate interplay between light and matter. He aims to improve our understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matt

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

Det är inte lätt att spåra människors migration, men genetiken ger oss möjlighet att ta fram ny information med svindlande hastighet. Vi vet att vår människoart uppstod i Afrika och förmodligen nådde Europa från sydost senast för 42 000 år sedan. Under den senaste istiden för ungefär 33 000–20 000 år sedan, då Norde

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt ett cellskelett som ger struktur åt mitokondrierna, cellens energifabriker. Skelettet är nödvändigt för mitokondriernas funktion, men forskarna fann även att cancerceller utnyttjar skelettet för att kunna bibehålla sin cellandningsförmåga - och därigenom överleva. – Det ce

Människor som arbetar i varma klimat är en utsatt grupp när klimatförändringarna bidrar till allt högre temperaturer. Att arbeta i hetta kan leda till värmestress med negativa hälsoeffekter som följd. Om temperaturen fortsätter stiga kommer det inte vara möjligt att arbeta inom fysiska utomhusyrken eller i vissa del
