For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab. This is the Science to Schools program, an initiative that began as an idea from PhD student Abigail Altman and has now grown into a collaboration involving Lund Ste

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

Narrative medicine provides tools for clinicians to read patients better. 2022 Sandblom Prize Lecture will be given by pioneering Professor Rita Charon of Columbia University on the discipline that uses the arts to improve understanding. Clinicians trained in narrative medicine are more able to listen for what their patients tell them, to see from others’ perspectives – including patients and fami

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes who undergo a gastric bypass operation recover from the disease within a few days of the operation, long before their body weight falls. No one knows how this happens, but researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have now come up with a partial answer. In t

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicio

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund and Malmö universities in Sweden have measured a biomarker in cell-free blood plasma which can be linked to an overactive stress system in suicidal individuals. This biomarker can hopefully be used in future psychiatric studies. “We don’t expect the marker to be able to predict who will try to comm

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Just like self-driving cars, we can expect autonomous ships to become more common in the coming years. However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control.
