Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

Outside the different examining rooms at paediatric oncology unit 64 hang laminated name signs with rainbows, unicorns and tractors that the young patients have made themselves. Each year, the unit receives around 60 new paediatric cancer patients from southern Sweden requiring examination or treatment. Of these, 85 per cent survive. Kees-Jan Pronk shares his time between being a doctor in paediat

Researcher Emma Hammarlund realized that geological measurement methods can also be used for medical purposes. With a simple hair sample, she hopes to find cancer at an early stage. First in the study are prostate cancer and breast cancer. Now her project has been selected for the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' (IVA) 100 list. The list also includes eight other research projects fr

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New research from Lund University, Sweden, has shown for the first time that chimpanzees catch yawns from humans, and that the susceptibility to contagious yawning develops gradually with age – just like it does in humans. While juvenile chimpanzees (5-8 years of age) catch human yawns, infant chimpanzees seem immune

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det var sommaren 2009 och Anders Rosengren hade precis kommit tillbaka till jobbet efter semestern. Då kom svaret som han och många väntat på. Den prestigefyllda tidskriften Science var intresserad av att publicera en artikel om ett arbete de hållit på med under lång tid - men först måste de åtgärda en lång lista på

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. 1921 spreds ryktet över världen att det fanns en fungerande behandling vid svår barndiabetes. Desperata föräldrar till döende diabetesbarn vädjade om insulinbehandling men den kanadensiska kvartetten bakom upptäckten tvingades nästan alltid säga nej. Bristen var för stor och forskarna klarade inte av att tillverka i

Young women who spend all their spare time shopping. Lost, superficial souls with no purpose in life? Or creative and productive people? Emma Samsioe, who has spent several years studying their behaviour, wants to show a more nuanced picture of the phenomenon. Emma Samsioe.

Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS, technologies have been identified as key to reduce harmful emissions and to mitigate the effects of climate change. A new study, focusing on leading CCS countries, Norway and Brazil, identifies how these technologies should be implemented equitably, applied to hard-to -abate industrial sectors, and not used to justify continued fossil fuel dependency.

Lymphedema after head and neck cancer is considerably more common than previously assumed and can persist long after cancer treatment has finished. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that patients with a low level of physical activity face a higher risk of developing lymphedema. They have also noted that a lymph scanner objectively measures changes in the condition – a method

An experimental study from Lund University reveals for the first time that different Parkinson’s medications affect brain activity in distinct ways. This could explain why some patients develop impulsive and compulsive behaviors as a result of their treatment. The findings have been published in NPJ Parkinson’s Disease. Upon receiving treatment for their motor symptoms, many patients with Parkinso

En av de största utmaningarna globalt är att förse världens befolkning med mat på ett hållbart sätt. Ekologisk odling är en möjlighet, men baksidan är att den ger sämre skördar än konventionell odling. Studier ledda från Lunds universitet visar nu att skördeskillnaden mellan ekologisk och konventionell odling är mindre än man tidigare trott, men ändå klart mindre än för konventionell odling. Genom

Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p
