Emil Ygland Rödström is defending his thesis on the 20th of November. His research is about clinical, genetical, and biochemical biomarkers for the prognosis of Parkinson’s disease patients. Here, he tells us more about the discoveries and his time as a Ph.D. student in the Clinical Neurogenetics group at MultiPark. What is your research about? My thesis work consists of two different parts. In th

The symptom profiles of different neurodegenerative diseases often overlap, and diagnosing age-related cognitive symptoms is complex. A patient may have multiple overlapping disease processes in the brain at the same time. Now, researchers at Lund University have developed an AI model showing that it is possible to detect several neurodegenerative diseases from a single blood sample. The study is

Generative AI (GenAI or GAI) tools may have a place in education, but they also present challenges. We are all learning about these issues together, and it is important for teachers to have open conversations with students about using GenAI in their studies. This article contains suggestions for starting and sustaining such discussions with your students. Don’t mention it? Ignoring GenAI and hopin

(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

En observationsstudie från Lunds universitet som undersökt sockerkonsumtion, har fått stor nationell och internationell uppmärksamhet. Studien visar att sötade drycker har större negativ inverkan på hälsan än andra sockerkällor. De ökade signifikant risken för ischemisk stroke, hjärtsvikt, förmaksflimmer och bråck på bukens kroppspulsåder. Av de 70 000 svenskar som deltog i hälsostudien, blev 26 0

Överviktskirurgi har i många studier lyfts fram som en näst intill magisk metod för viktnedgång och tillbakagång av typ 2-diabetes. En fråga som i stort sett har lämnats obesvarad är huruvida effekten av kirurgi skiljer sig från de effekter man får av en sträng lågkaloridiet. Detta har nu forskare vid Lunds universi

Ny forskning ger ökat stöd för att vissa virusinfektioner kan ha betydelse för utvecklingen av typ 1-diabetes. Ett internationellt forskarlag har sett att små barn med förhöjd genetisk risk för typ 1-diabetes hade ökad risk att utveckla diabetesrelaterade autoantikroppar i samband med covid-19-infektion. Svenska barn har bidragit till studien som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften JAMA. St

Det är alltså en stor grupp vuxna som insjuknar i det som vi förr kallade för barndiabetes, säger Maria Thunander, överläkare vid medicinkliniken i Växjö, Landstinget Kronoberg som nu doktorerar vid L

Honeybees are common pollinators, but other insects such as hoverflies, beetles and butterflies, and wild bees, including bumble bees, are also needed for pollination and are important in many different ways. With simple measures, we can help these insects thrive so they can contribute to a diversity of wild flowers, crops and rich nature experiences. Oilseed rape, apples, strawberries and field b

An investigational stem cell-based therapy for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, STEM-PD, has been given regulatory approval for a Phase I/IIa clinical trial. Ethical approval of the trial has already been obtained from the Swedish Ethics Review Authority, and the STEM-PD team, led from Lund University in Sweden, is thereby ready to proceed with the trial. “We are excited and looking forward t

What is climate-related loss and when can it be considered disproportionate? This question is at the heart of Kelly Dorkenoo’s thesis which explores loss associated with land in smallholder farming communities in Cambodia. Her motivation was to deepen our understanding of – and to find ways to mitigate – loss arising from climate change impacts, focusing on communities whose livelihoods are closel

Att vandra i skogen är inte bara en naturupplevelse, det är också en doftsensation. Men en ändrad doft från träden kan vara ett tecken på att skogen är klimatstressad. Detta är resultat som forskare tar med sig in i ett nytt projekt som ska utvärdera konsekvenserna av ett förändrat skogsbruk. Forskningsprojektet koordineras av Lunds universitet och finansieras av EU med 60 miljoner kronor. Kunskap
