When young people who have turned their lives around talk about their criminal past, they are trying both to explain their actions and to forge a new identity. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows how stories about honour among thieves, responsibility and coming of age play a key role in helping people move away from a life of crime. A person who has committed crimes but wants to turn

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. It has long been known that t

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

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos was recently recruited as a postdoc in our lab. He thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. Earlier this spring, he defended

By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs.

A new technology that makes hydrogen from forestry and agricultural residues that are currently burnt is being developed at Lund University. The plan is to efficiently produce a green gas that society needs - while cutting carbon emissions. The researchers' European consortium has received SEK 37 million from the EU Innovation Fund to realise the technology. Renewable hydrogen is no longer conside

In the 1960s, Europe’s largest steel plant was built in Taranto, Italy. While transforming the local economy, it generated pollution that has been linked to illness and premature death among residents. In his doctoral thesis, Carlo Nicoli Aldini shows how law has both contributed to the crisis and been used as an instrument to seek justice by the local population. Carlo Nicoli Aldini recently comp

Where were the suspects located before a crime was committed? Where was a bomb assembled or a batch of drugs produced? A new technique that analyzes environmental DNA could help provide answers. Geneticist Eran Elhaik at Lund University has developed an AI-based tool designed to support forensic investigations.
