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This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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 di

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Do you leave work full of energy and excited about what the rest of the day has to offer? If not – maybe it is worth trying to improve recovery during the working day.  Lina Ejlertsson's thesis is about recovery of staff in one of the most stressful work environments – healthcare centres. She says we have a certain am

When planning for food in times of crisis – what foodstuffs do we imagine? Many think of tin cans and freeze-dried food, but the fact is that if a crisis occurs, it is not stockpiled cans that will save us. Food preparedness is a subject being taken up by researchers from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Almedalen Week, one of their reflections being  how local growing of crops that do not need

The Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) has produced statistics for international student mobility at undergraduate and graduate level for all Swedish higher education institutions during the academic year 2022/23. Lund University is high in a national comparison. UKÄ's report states that the pandemic led to a sharp decline in international student mobility in terms of both incoming and outgo

Det behövs långsiktigt effektiva metoder för att hejda kusterosionens negativa effekter. Inom projektet LIFE Coast Adapt har forskare från Lunds universitet tillsammans med tjänstepersoner från Region Skåne och flera skånska kustkommuner testat olika naturbaserade metoder för att bidra till en praxis på området. Nu har projektet nått sitt slut och det finns lovande resultat. I projektet LIFE Coast

Tumörvävnadens styvhet spelar en roll för hur cancer sprider sig. Dessutom lämnar styv tumörvävnad spår i de drabbade cellerna. Detta visar två nya studier från Lunds universitet. – Detta hjälper oss att bättre förstå hur de mekaniska egenskaperna i tumörens mikromiljö aktivt driver cancerutveckling och spridning, säger Vinay Swaminathan, forskare vid Lunds universitet.

Can a new neighbourhood be a spearhead for sustainability if it has a huge shopping mall at its heart? And to what extent can urban planning influence the way people live in an area? In her thesis, Agenda 2030 doctoral student Alva Zalar has examined Hyllie in southern Malmö from a norm-critical perspective that interweaves architecture and queer theory. In the early 2000s, the city of Malmö decid
