En orsak kan vara att övervikt blivit allt vanligare bland barn och unga. Det var när forskarna i den stora undersökningen Bättra Diagnostik av Diabetes (BDD), där i stort sett alla under 18 år som insjuknar i diabetes deltar, jä

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Med hjälp av celler från patienter med ärftliga sjukdomar har forskare lyckats skapa stamcellslinjer där sjukdomsanlagen finns med. Tekniken ska förbättra metoderna att studera sjukdomen i ett provrör, att i detalj följa vad som går fel. Forskargruppen från Harvard Stem Cell Institute har använt patienters hud- och

Nordic and Andean countries started their economic modernisation in the same way: with export of raw natural resources. Later on, Norway and Sweden became rich, while Bolivia, Chile and Peru followed a quite different path. What made them diverge from the common road? Different fiscal policies may be one of the reasons, new research from Lund University suggests. In the mid-19th century, Norway ex

The virus winter season has struck – and COVID-19 is still part of everyday life. However, unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how it spreads through the air we breathe. Research from Lund University in Sweden shows that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers mapped the infectiousness of the virus in some forty

The photosynthesis of tropical species in montane rain forest is very sensitive to high temperature which means high-altitude rain forests are particularly under threat by global warming. This has been shown by researchers from the University of Gothenburg in a study published in the journal New Phytologist. An increase in temperature usually stimulates photosynthesis and growth for plants at our

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Just like self-driving cars, we can expect autonomous ships to become more common in the coming years. However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control. In his research, Mårten Lager has developed use

At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

Two researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center receive grants, 61 million, for research into immunological long-term memory and reprogramming of tumor cells. The research should lead to more effective vaccination strategies and immunotherapies.
