Forskare vid Lunds universitet och Washington University har upptäckt en blodmarkör som visar hur mycket av Alzheimers sjukdom man bär på i hjärnan. Fynden kan hjälpa att se vem som kan ha mest nytta av de nya läkemedlen som godkänts i bland annat USA, Japan och Kina – och som är på väg att godkännas i Europa. Studien i korthet:En nyupptäckt markör (MTBR-tau243) i blodet kan avslöja hur mycket alz

För några veckor sedan deltog jag i två intressanta seminarier. Det första hade titeln ”The academic book stands firm: Why a leading university needs its own Press in turbulent times”.

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

Leukemia stem cells have a clever survival strategy, they evade the body's immune defenses, making the disease difficult to treat. In a recent study in mice published in Haematologica, researchers at Lund University identified a gene that helps these cells avoid detection by natural killer (NK) cells—the immune system’s frontline defense. Each year in Sweden, around 350 adults are diagnosed with a

Individuals cannot solve the climate crisis, argue researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Jack Coffin. Policy makers should direct their attention to the (im)moral market structures that influence consumer and corporate decision-making. In the fight against climate change, it is more important to make markets more moral than to make consumers more ethical. Individual consumers are, by now, well used to b
