A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure.  Previous research has shown that the majority

Being able to predict diseases before they develop has become somewhat akin to the search for the Holy Grail. The difference is that research has a greater chance of success in finding what they are looking for than King Arthur's knights did. And in many cases, there are significant health benefits to being able to predict disease risk early: prevention is better than cure. Biomarkers are trace el

We are working in close collaboration with neuroscientists from the B.R.A.I.N.S unit at the Biomedical Center to develop techniques for 3D imaging of cleared mouse brain tissue. These techniques will assist their research on Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Clearing of tissue have become increasingly popular within the neuroimaging community over the last decade, as it offers researchers the n

Many of the University’s researchers are publishing fantastic research that has been done with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI). Many are curious to test out AI to improve, simplify or speed up at least a part of the research process. At the same time, many are asking “what am I allowed to use AI for?” The starting point when using AI in research is to follow the basic principles of

The Sustainable Development Goal number 8, ‘Decent work and economic growth’, is based on the idea that decent employment opportunities create fair globalization and reduce poverty. But the goal is often seen as conflicting with other goals. How can economic growth be ensured while also ensuring a sustainable planet?

Simon Boas, who wrote a candid account of living with cancer, passed away on July 15 at the age of 47. In a recent BBC interview, the former aid worker told the reporter: “My pain is under control and I’m terribly happy – it sounds weird to say, but I’m as happy as I’ve ever been in my life.”It may seem odd that a person could be happy as the end draws near, but in my experience as a clinical psyc

Patients born with heart defects experience their first acute heart attack at a significantly earlier age than others. This is shown by a new national study from Lund University in Sweden. However, despite this earlier onset of illness, there is no difference in survival rates or the risk of further heart attacks between those with congenital heart defects and others. The study includes 214 patien
