Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20–30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

Den 17 december fattade fakultetsstyrelsen beslut om naturvetenskapliga fakultetens fortsatta arbete kring en etablering i Science Village. Beslutet innebär att fakulteten inte går vidare med Etapp 2 och inte heller ställer sig bakom fortsatt projektering av Nanolab Science Village (Etapp 1). Beslutet grundar sig bland annat på rapporten "Utredning om kritisk massa för etablering i Science Village
