This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers from Lund University, together with the Roche pharmaceutical company, have used a method to develop a new blood marker capable of detecting whether or not a person has Alzheimer’s disease. If the method is approved for clinical use, the researchers hope eventually to see it used as a diagnostic tool in pri

To counter the effects of antibiotics, bacteria constantly evolve resistance mechanisms. In order to develop new antibiotics that could overcome the resistance, it is essential to understand its workings. Using so-called cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) researchers at Lund and Hamburg universities have uncovered the molecular details of an important antibiotic resistance mechanism. This is

Lund University is taking an important step to strengthen research on total defence and preparedness through the establishment of LUPREP at Campus Helsingborg.  “This is not to be a narrow-minded centre where everyone thinks the same. It will be a place for critical dialogue,” says Johan Bergström, who will take up the position of director on 1 August. The aim of the Lund University Centre for  Pr

Professor Oksana Tymoshchuk came to Lund with her children as soon as the opportunity arose. She also wanted to help students from her home university escape the ongoing turmoil in Ukraine. Now four medical students have arrived to study here for six months with a full Erasmus scholarship. “It’s a fantastic opportunity, with such practical studies. The other week I got to stitch up a Cesarean!” “I

From a rejected article to world-leading Alzheimer’s research. Kaj Blennow has made it possible to detect Alzheimer’s disease up to 20 years before symptoms appear – an achievement that has not only transformed research but also laid the foundation for new therapies. He has now been awarded the Eric K. Fernström Nordic Prize for his groundbreaking research. Professor Kaj Blennow also enjoys gettin

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

The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable

A special government investment is now being made in research and education in electrification and battery technology. This means that Lund University and the Faculty of Engineering, Uppsala University and Chalmers University of Technology will be allocated SEK 270 million over the years 2024-2029. The strategic initiative is part of the universities' cooperation within Compel and will be based in

The complement proteins that circulate in our blood are an important part of our immune system. They help identify bacteria, viruses and other harmful organisms, making it easier for our white blood cells to find and neutralise dangerous microbes. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a previously unknown function of the central complement protein, C3, which describes how C3

A team of researchers from Lund University has imaged the beam focus at the hard X-ray nanoprobe NanoMAX using a single nanowire as the detector. The result is an unprecedented ultrahigh-resolution 3D image of the 88 nanometer diameter focus revealing fine details of the beam. “A basic way of describing an X-ray exper

Particles, sometimes a long way from one another, can be entangled. This strange phenomenon completely confounds our intuition, but the explanation for it has been provided through quantum mechanics. Researchers at the Department of Physics show in a new study that entanglement can also be created in a new way, with the help of intense light, and that they can change the kinetic energy of electron

Heart attack and stroke are common complications of diabetes, as the body's ability to repair and form vessels is impaired. Researchers at Lund University have developed a new substance with the capacity to stimulate vascular repair response and the formation of vessels. In diabetes, the body's ability to repair vascular damage caused by the disease is impaired, which can lead to complications suc
