Researchers at Lund University and Washington University have identified a blood marker that reflects the amount of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain. This discovery may play a key role in determining who is most likely to benefit from the new Alzheimer’s drugs. In brief:A newly discovered blood marker, MTBR-tau243, can reveal how much Alzheimer’s disease pathology is present in the brain. The hi

It is always exciting to move into a new student apartment. You might think that all student apartments look pretty much the same, both in terms of layout and interior design, but that is far from the truth. At Furutorpsgatan student accommodation, Ellen Tössberg lives in a one-bedroom apartment of twenty square meters. The apartment may be small, but it has a lot of personality. When I enter Elle

The photosynthesis of tropical species in montane rain forest is very sensitive to high temperature which means high-altitude rain forests are particularly under threat by global warming. This has been shown by researchers from the University of Gothenburg in a study published in the journal New Phytologist. An increase in temperature usually stimulates photosynthesis and growth for plants at our

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th

The year 2023 was a fantastic year for research at Lund University. The year can be summarised as 1825. In this case, it does not refer to the year 1825 and that our research has stagnated at the level it was then.

The history of Swedish day-care is examined in a new study that provides insight into Sweden's day-care system during the early 20th century. Together with Luciana Quaranta, Annika Elwert has looked at which factors influenced enrolment in day-care centres in southern Sweden for children born between 1900 and 1935. The study shows that at the beginning of the 20th century it was unusual for childr
