Runt 80 procent av dem som har Downs syndrom utvecklar Alzheimers sjukdom, ofta redan i 40-50-årsåldern. Nu visar en svensk-amerikansk studie, ledd från Lunds universitet, att ett enkelt blodprov med stor säkerhet kan upptäcka Alzheimers sjukdom hos personer med Downs syndrom. Fynden är viktiga av flera skäl, inte minst möjligheten att ställa korrekt diagnos utan komplicerade ingrepp. Studien är n

Ett samarbete mellan lundaforskarna Johan Jakobsson och Malin Parmar har lett till en ny metod för att studera åldersrelaterade hjärnsjukdomar. Forskarna har tagit avstamp i den neurodegenerativa sjukdomen Huntingtons. Studien är publicerad i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Brain. Inte sällan står medicinsk grundforskning inför utmaningen att utveckla sjukdomsmodeller som  svarar väl mot specifika s

Miljön som bröstcancer uppstår i – både patientens kroppsform, tumörens storlek och cancerspecifika proteiner – samverkar och har betydelse för prognosen. Det visar en studie som nu publiceras i augustinumret av Translational Oncology. Kunskapen kan ytterligare stärka den precisionsbaserade vården vid bröstcancer. Stora framsteg inom diagnostik och behandling har förbättrat överlevnad hos bröstcan

Barn är särskilt känsliga för luftföroreningar. En ny studie visar att förskolebarn i trafiktäta storstadsområden är ute betydligt kortare tid av sin dag på förskolan men riskerar samtidigt att andas in en dubbelt så hög dos av luftföroreningar (partiklar*/minut) jämfört med barn i medelstora och mindre orter. Resultaten av studien som genomförts på tio förskolor i Skåne, såväl storstad som mindre

En stor andel av de lungor som doneras varje år kan inte användas för transplantation. Forskare vid Skånes universitetssjukhus och Lunds universitet har i en studie på djur nått resultat som ger hopp om att fler donerade lungor ska kunna rädda liv i framtiden. En pilotstudie har nu inletts för att se om behandlingen har samma positiva resultat hos människor. Varje år blir cirka 190 avlidna persone
