Under de senaste åren har såväl forskare vid Lunds universitet som flera andra internationella forskargrupper framgångsrikt publicerat nya rön kring tidig och korrekt diagnostik av demenssjukdomar. Men fortsatt tar diagnostiken lång tid och kräver dyr och avancerad teknik. Nu har lundaforskarna utvecklat en prognostisk algoritm som väger samman enklare blodprov med snabba minnestester för att med
Idag lider cirka 20 000 svenskar av Parkinsons sjukdom men ännu finns bara symptomlindrande behandlingar. Genom en ny biobank får forskarna tillgång till 1 000 parkinsonpatienters genetiska profiler tillsammans med utförlig information om deras livsstil och sjukdomshistoria. – Jag är övertygad om att många forskare kommer att använda biobanken de närmsta åren, vilket kan leda till utvecklingen av

T-celler, antikroppar och antigen. Under det senaste året har vi alla genom livlig medierapportering fått lära oss mer om människans immunsystem. Att immunsystemet är fullkomligt nödvändigt för vår överlevnad är de flesta nog medvetna om. Men hur påverkar immunsystemet egentligen Parkinsons sjukdom, behövs det för att hålla våra hjärnor friska eller bidrar det till förvärrad sjukdom? Svaret på den

I en ny experimentell studie visar forskare hur alzheimerproteinet amyloid-beta ansamlas inuti nervcellerna och hur det felveckade proteinet sedan sprids från cell till cell via nervtrådar och fortplantar sig i en ond spiral. Alzheimerproteinet uppkommer inuti cellerna långt tidigare än de synliga extracellulära placken som bildas efterhand som sjukdomen fortskrider. Den aktuella studien bygger vi

Det är inte, som man tidigare trott, bara skador i nervbanorna som ligger bakom de typiska rörelseproblemen efter en hjärnskada eller stroke – hormoner som frigörs efter sådana skador verkar bidra på ett dramatiskt och tidigare helt okänt sätt. Det visar ny forskning från bland annat Lunds universitet. Resultaten tyder på att hormonblockerande preparat kan användas för att motverka rörelseprobleme

Psykiska och kognitiva symtom kommer tidigt vid Huntingtons sjukdom och är ofta de svåraste symtomen i sjukdomen, vittnar berörda. Ändå har forskningen, i sin jakt på behandling, främst fokuserat på sjukdomens rörelsestörningar, ett senare symtom. Ny forskning visar att känslohjärnan påverkas tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet och därför bör ges mer fokus vid utvecklingen av nya behandlingar. Artikeln p

Ansamling av amyloid-beta kanske startar inuti nervcellerna. Nya möjligheter att studera strukturella förändringar före amyloida plack bildas. Fyra olika typer av Alzheimers sjukdom. Ett enkelt diagnosverktyg förutspår risken att utveckla sjukdomen. Och ett tvär-vetenskapligt samarbete mellan Region Skåne, Lunds kommun och läkemedelsindustrin för att underlätta tidigare diagnos och träffsäkrare pr

This lecture (in English) is a result of a collaboration between the choral teachers at the Academies of Music in Sweden. Due to the corona pandemic, we see the need of strengthening the choral life, and we also see new possibilities to use digital tools to arrange exchange projects to enrich the choral education. We organize two lectures fall 2020: November, 3 with Karin Rehnqvist and November, 2

Accumulation of the substance amyloid beta in the brain impairs the memory and cognitive ability in people with Alzheimer’s. New findings from Lund University in Sweden show that the cause of amyloid beta pathology might be more versatile than previously known. Researchers believe that these new findings may be of significance to the development of new medications. The accumulation of the protein

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made two new discoveries with regard to the beta cells’ ability to release insulin. The findings can also provide a possible explanation as to why smokers have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. The study was conducted on mice and donated beta cells from humans, and is now published in the scientific journal Cell Reports.The researchers have discove

And does your cat understand what you are saying? The new research project “Melody in human-cat communication” at Lund University in Sweden may find the answer. “We want to find out to what extent domestic cats are influenced by the language and dialect that humans use to speak to them, because it seems that cats use slightly different dialects in the sounds they produce”, says Associate Professor

A new analytical model for e-sports developed by researchers in Sweden, Denmark and Germany, not only helps game developers better understand how players perform, but can also predict the outcome of the game. E-sports is the term used for the increasingly popular phenomenon of competitive computer and video gaming, where individuals or teams play against each other in various online environments.

Uganda has one of the harshest standpoints on homosexuality in the world. Homosexual acts are prohibited by law and have previously been suggested to warrant the death penalty. However, a study from Lund University in Sweden shows that homosexuality among young people is as common in Uganda as in other countries.

An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20 000 genes in the human body control their growth. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied close to 15 000 of these genes alongside each other. The researchers have succeeded in identifying four key genes which, together, govern the growth and multiplication

Approximately one in five Swedish young adults (18–25) have experienced recurring problems with paying their bills in the past year. The group with recurring payment problems tend to make more unplanned purchases, are less likely to have a social network to discuss their financial problems with, and are less likely to have friends that could help them financially, than those who do not experience
