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

Can insulin absorbed in small doses through food in early childhood get the immune system accustomed to insulin and thereby delay – or prevent – type 1 diabetes? Researchers hope to find the answer through POInT, a study starting in Skåne this autumn. Newborn babies in Skåne with a high risk of autoimmune diabetes (ty

How do immigrant organizations in Sweden work with aid and development in their home countries? Other European countries work more actively than Sweden to use the knowledge about home countries that exists within these organizations. Sociologists from Lund Axel Fredholm, Johan Sandberg and Olle Frödin write about this in the research article "The Migration-Development Nexus Revisited: Immigrant Or

Øystein Opedal was one of 494 European researchers to receive an ERC Starting Grant for his project “POLLCLIM: Plant adaptation in a changing pollination climate“. As Øystein is a member of BECC, we were curious to know a little bit more about his grant. The ERC Starting Grant is intended for early-career researchers and the only selection criterion is scientific excellence. After undergoing peer

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Last year, researchers Tobias Cronberg and Niklas Mattsson at Lund University in Sweden published a study showing serum tau levels to be a new and promising marker for identifying patients with severe brain damage after cardiac arrest. Together with Marion Moseby Knappe, they have now discovered that the protein Neuro

A new study tracking three decades of municipal data challenges a common narrative, finding that while some state services have become more centralised, rural areas have not experienced larger declines in public employment than cities. In several key welfare services, rural municipalities have even strengthened their position. The idea that rural communities are being abandoned by the public secto

The proportion of unionised blue-collar and white-collar workers fell in 2022 after an increase in the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021. Despite this, Sweden has the world's second highest level of unionisation. This is shown in the report 'The Swedish model from a Nordic perspective: unionisation and the new basic agreement' by Professor Anders Kjellberg for the think tank Arena Idé. The share of

Overfishing, hunting and intensive agriculture and forestry can sometimes contribute to plants and animals becoming endangered. New research from Lund University in Sweden and University of Toronto can now show why this leads to entire populations becoming smaller in size, as well as reproducing earlier. The study is published in the journal PNAS. Researchers from Lund and Toronto are behind the s
