However, economist Therese Nilsson at the School of Economics and Management finds that we still do not know enough to determine whether it is the debt itself that leads to ill health – or if ill health leads to debt.

When we talk about antibodies against COVID-19, we tend to mean the so-called neutralising antibodies, that offer protection by blocking the virus from invading our cells. Now, a new study from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that non-neutralising antibodies may also be important in providing protection against Covid. “Our results indicate that non-neutralising antibodies could also provide

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For nearly nine years, researchers at Lund University have been working on developing implantable electrodes that can capture signals from single neurons in the brain over a long period of time - without causing brain tissue damage. They are now one big step closer to reaching this goal, and the results are published

Most patients with mycosis fungoides, a rare form of lymphoma, live for years with a relatively mild disease. But in some cases it develops into a more serious condition. Angelica Johansson has identified biological changes that may help explain why the disease progresses in about a quarter of patients. Her work also shows that patients report unexpectedly high quality despite living with a chroni

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people. In recent years, ketamine has emerged as a new treatment for depression, after studies have shown it to be a fast-acting antidepressant. “

(DIABETES) After more than a decade of stagnation, there is a major surge in kidney research effort. New drugs and biomarkers make it possible to detect and slow the progression of the disease earlier – something that long seemed unattainable. This will impact people with diabetes, for whom kidney damage is a serious long-term complication. “We are entering a new era. What is happening now is simi

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv
