The glymphatic system, which helps clear waste products from the brain, was discovered about a decade ago. Nicholas Bèchet’s project shines light on how it works in Alzheimer’s disease. On June 17, he defends his PhD thesis supervised by Iben Lundgaard at MultiPark. Here, he tells about his discoveries and why we should not compromise on our sleep. Tell us about your research! The glymphatic syste

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. What is the effect on doctoral students’ creativity when they are forced into the academic straightjacket of research studies? What obstacles do they have to cross in order to reach their full potential? According to creativity researcher Eva Brodin, there are many examples of research environments where doctoral stud

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New research shows that it is possible to predict the development of type 1 diabetes. By measuring the presence of autoantibodies in the blood, it is possible to detect whether the immune system has begun to break down the bodys own insulin cells. "In the TEDDY study we have found that autoantibodies often appear duri

During the past week, 350 delegates from 120 countries have gathered in Copenhagen, to go through and come to a common conclusion about the state of knowledge on climate change. The result was finalized as a synthesis report which states that the human influence on the climate system is clear and recent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history. But the report also sta

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Para-athletics is growing in strength worldwide. However, behind the Paralympics that we watch on TV from our sofas there are greater challenges than those related to results. A new thesis from Lund University demonstrates how Paralympic athletes run the risk of sustaining injuries as a result of strict training as we

Coeliac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, has until now been all but unknown in Ethiopia. Yet as more people adopt a Western diet, the number of cases is increasing. “Few people here have heard of coeliac disease, not even among doctors,” says Adugna Negussie Gudeta, a doctoral student at the Department of Clinical Sciences in Malmö, who, together with his supervisor Daniel Agardh, is doi

I guess you can say that it goes up and down, but I would say that IT security is a question that worries me. We must act fast and start by analysing the current situation. We hear almost daily about threats from the surrounding world of intrusion, ransomware attacks* and spying. Lund University is of course no exception regarding these threats and we need to equip ourselves better to withstand th

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. 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 h

Vår livsmedelsproduktion och konsumtion är drivande krafter för ökade utsläpp av växthusgaser och påverkar även vår hälsa och risk för dödlighet. Förekomsten av hjärt-kärlsjukdom, diabetes och cancer är hög och ökar stadigt. Forskare från Lunds universitet och RISE har i en ny studie kunnat visa på värdefulla hälsofördelar med minskad risk för tidig död orsakad av hjärt-kärlsjukdom och cancer, om

I en studie jämförde forskare Vasaloppsåkare med övrig befolkning och såg att risken att utveckla epilepsi var hälften så stor hos dem som åkt loppet. Studien visar inte på orsakssamband, men forskarna menar att det stärker teorier om träningens positiva effekter på hjärnan. Fördelarna med träning är många: det är bra för våra blodkärl, skelettet och vårt psykiska välbefinnande samtidigt som det m
