High blood pressure damages our blood vessels. It also damages our heart, our brain and our kidneys. A high blood pressure increases the risk of suffering a heart attack and stroke. However, it is not known exactly why a high blood pressure is so dangerous. – The reason is that we have effective antihypertensive medications. So why bother how pressure-induced damage occurs. We feel that this posit

Peptides from the common bacteria Staphylococcus aureus speed up the pathological aggregation of α-synuclein, a protein linked to Parkinson’s disease. This was discovered by researchers at MultiPark and published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Staphylococcus aureus is carried by 30–70% of the general population as a commensal bacterium. It produces a special kind of peptides c

The dance that binary stars do around each other offers new clues to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy, the Milky Way – so says a current research study. For the first time, researchers have identified the link between the orbiting times of certain binary stars and the amount of iron in in their interiors. Binary stars are systems containing two stars that orbit each other thanks to their mutua

In the hunt for better knowledge on the aging process, researchers from Lund University have now enlisted the help of small birds. A new study investigates various factors which affect whether chicks are born with long or short chromosome ends, called telomeres. The genetic make-up of our cells consists of genes lined up on chromosomes. The ends of the chromosomes are called telomeres, and they pr

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,
