Half as many diagnosed with depression, a delayed manifestation of Parkinson’s, a reduced risk of developing vascular dementia - but not Alzheimer’s. These connections were discovered by researchers when they compared 200 000 people who had participated in a long-distance cross-country ski race between 1989 and 2010 with a matched cohort of the general population. The results of the population reg

On 8 April, it was time for the the annual table tennis tournament at LUSEM, and this year also marked its 11th anniversary! Finally it was that time again, time for table tennis at LUSEM. The tournament first started in 2013 but has had three breaks over the years, which is why the 10-year celebration took place last year. (See the fact box for more details on past years and winners.)This year 24

This CMES Regional Outlook (2026:1) by Hebatalla Taha and Dina Tawfik examines Iran’s nuclear posture beyond assumptions of weaponisation, highlighting its pursuit of nuclear latency and the implications for diplomacy and regional dynamics. There is a tendency to assume that Iran wants ‘the bomb’. This claim has been repeated – in the press and in some policy circles – with little nuance. However,

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

Diabetes researchers at Lund University have previously shown that people with diabetes can be stratified into five subgroups with differing disease progression. A new study by the same researchers provides increased evidence for the clinical relevance of the classification system. The researchers also present new findings of significant differences between subgroups in the development of complica

Lao Saal has a mission; to make it possible to – just by testing a blood sample – reveal, not only if you have cancer, but also which therapies may be most effective, and how well is the cancer actually responding to treatment. His idea is to trace the genetic material that escapes from tumours and into the blood circulation. “It’s a great feeling when you can go the whole way from having an idea

For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defence mechanism in aggressive brain tumours: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumour cells and protects them against a particularly destructive form of cell death. Aggressive brain tumours grow in an extreme environment characterised by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, low pH and chronic cellular stress. Insid
