This autumn, a unique research satellite, Gaia, will be launched. The project aims to map a billion stars and involves hundreds of European astronomers. One of the originators of the initiative is Lund University’s Professor of Astronomy Lennart Lindegren. Lennart Lindegren tests a meridian circle, which was used in the 19th century to measure the position of the stars. Professor Lindegren seems c

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

An antibody that did not fulfil its purpose against the disease multiple sclerosis, MS, instead made its big break in cancer research and is now starring in southern Sweden’s largest licensing agreement in Life Science history. The “father” of the antibody is Professor Carl Borrebaeck. Carl Borrebaeck. Photo: Gunnar Menander It is one of the windiest days in late summer, and the wind is blowing es

More people working from home does not necessarily mean less travel. On the contrary, leisure travel may increase to compensate for sedentary work in the home, according to transport researcher Lena Winslott Hiselius. This can become a challenge for public transport. There are strong indications that remote working is here to stay, at least in part and in certain workplaces. Lena Winslott Hiselius

Breath-holding spells are common in young children and are benign. Yet children often undergo unnecessary diagnostic interventions when seeking medical care. This is because there are no national or international guidelines on how to assess children in these cases. A team of researchers at Lund University, Sweden has now proposed guidelines to reduce the number of emergency and unplanned medical v

Inflammatoriska reaktioner i hjärnan har länge misstänkts vara involverade vid Alzheimers sjukdom, men de är svåra att studera i den levande mänskliga hjärnan. Ett internationellt samarbete med forskare vid MultiPark, Lunds universitet, har gjort det möjligt att upptäcka förhöjda nivåer av Galektin-3, ett protein som uttrycks i hjärnans immunceller. Resultaten publicerades i Acta Neuropathologica

Barn med hög risk att utveckla typ 1-diabetes har delvis en annan bakterieflora i tarmen jämfört med individer med låg risk, enligt en ny studie. Fynden, som publicerats i Nature Communications, tyder på att ärftlig risk kan forma hur individen reagerar på miljöfaktorer vid uppkomsten av autoimmuna sjukdomar. Både arv och miljö anses spela roll för utvecklingen av typ 1-diabetes, en allvarlig auto

Den kraftiga ökningen av typ 1 diabetes beror på att alltfler barn med lägre genetisk risk drabbas idag. Så var det inte för några decennier sedan. Den mest sannolika förklaringen är att någonting har gjort vår omgivning mer "diabetesframkallande". Det är forskare från Melbourne Hospital i Australien som har kartlagt den genetiska koden hos 462 barn med typ 1 diabetes som insjuknande mellan åren 1

Autoantikroppar som föregår typ 1 diabetes går att mäta när som helst i livet. Genom att titta på antalet antikroppar, vilka de är och i hur höga nivåer de finns, kan man tillsammans med den genetiska profilen göra en bedömning av risken för en individ att insjukna i typ 1 diabetes. Här skriver Cecilia Andersson, forskare på Lunds universitets Diabetscenter, själv om sitt avhandlingsarbete. Diabet
