Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

Maten vi äter påverkar inte bara kroppen utan även knoppen. Forskare vid Lunds universitet strävar efter att förstå hur en kost med mycket fett och socker påverkar minnesförmågor i samband med övervikt och typ 2-diabetes. Deras nya studie på möss visar att fet mat och sockersötad dryck leder till försämringar av minnet, men att det går att vända utvecklingen. Övervikt är en riskfaktor för att utve

Den förhöjda risken att insjukna i en demenssjukdom gäller både vid typ 1 och typ 2 diabetes. En väsentlig del av risken utgörs av alltför höga blodsockervärden. I en studie från University of California, San Francisco, USA, analys

Att årets julklapp skulle bli just det hemstickade plagget är en trendspaning från HUI som både förvånar och förskräcker. Forskarna Marie Ledendal och Cecilia Fredriksson kommenterar årets julklapp. Med motiveringen "I en tid av bildlig och bokstavlig kyla, som följd av oroligheter i världen representerar Årets Julklapp 2022 en varm kram i produktform att ge till sina nära och kära" kvalar det hem

Att äta ost och grädde med hög fetthalt kan ha ett samband med en lägre risk för att utveckla demens. Det visar en ny stor studie vid Lunds universitet. Forskarna analyserade kostvanor hos drygt 27 000 personer och kopplade dessa till förekomsten av demens under en uppföljningstid på upp till 25 år. Debatten om fettsnåla dieter har länge format våra hälsoråd och påverkat hur vi ser på mat och häls

The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes who undergo a gastric bypass operation recover from the disease within a few days of the operation, long before their body weight falls. No one knows how this happens, but researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have now come up with a partial answer. In t

By describing his research as a battle between good and evil and likening himself to a hacker who attacks cancer cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in this year's Research Grand Prix. It is a competition in presentation technique for researchers, and it was held in front of an audience of almost 400 students at Helsingborg's Stadsteater on 1 October. His presentat

If you wander off the lane or touch the lane marking, your car tells you about it, and the most recent models can even gently take you back to the middle of the lane. Research in ELLIIT has shown that if the car also provides help during swift avoi- dance manoeuvres, the number of accidents could be reduced by around 80%. “Completely autonomous and driverless traffic on conventional roads and unde

Superconductors are a cornerstone of quantum computers and particle detectors, among other things. However, a common problem is that their efficiency is degraded by various interferences. Now, researchers have come one step closer to explaining what is happening through high-precision measurements. The results are now being published in Nature Physics. Superconductivity depends on the presence of

The Nomination Committee has proposed that, from the turn of the year, LTH should be led for three years by Margaret McNamee and Ulf Ellervik. Working together and deciding who should do what was uncontroversial, say the candidates for the positions of Dean and Deputy Dean of LTH. In the almost fully seated IKDC lecture hall, LTH students and staff had gathered to listen to the Nomination Committe
