Hur kan en frukost se ut i Hong Kong? Hur är stämningen i en svensk småbåtshamn en söndag morgon? Vad händer på Centralstationen i Stockholm? Med den globala rörelsen Urban Sketchers träffas man och levandegör en plats genom att teckna av den. En metod som även letat sig in i den akademiska världen som ett verktyg för etnologer att komma nära det man vill förstå. Det är onsdag förmiddag under Hels

New advanced therapies can alleviate or cure chronic diseases. But medical progress raises the question of how rights should be protected and balanced, according to Jessica Almqvist, professor in international law and human rights, who conducts research on gene therapies. With advanced therapies, doctors can treat or prevent serious diseases. Gene therapies are tailor-made and individualised. The

Fanny Hellgren's solo exhibition features several paintings from the artist's latest series. The astonishing canvases radiate soothing and pleasant feelings and by contemplating these non-figurative compositions one after another, one can sense a continuous rhythm. A pulsation, emanating from layers upon layers of acrylic paint, attracts us to track and understand its language and the dialogue tha

A total of 100,000 newborn babies have now been screened for type 1 diabetes within the framework of GPPAD (The Global Platform for the Prevention of Autoimmune Diabetes), a major European initiative to find children with a high hereditary risk of developing the disease. Number 100,000 was Arthur from Dresden in Germany, who was born on 15 July. Children who are found to be at high risk, have the

PRP-behandling (platelet-rich plasma) är en relativt ny behandling som ofta marknadsförs att vara effektiv mot bland annat artros. Det råder dock brist på vetenskapliga studier av hög kvalitet med påståenden om behandlingens effektivitet. Forskare från Brasilien har nu i den vetenskapliga tidskriften BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders publicerat resultat från en mindre klinisk prövning (omfattande 61 p

Sänkt blodsockervärde, viktminskning och förbättrade blodfetter minskar risken för hjärt-kärlsjukdomar för personer med typ 2 diabetes. I en färsk studie har brittiska forskare jämfört olika dieter och kommit fram till att Medelhavskosten därför är den bästa maten. Författarna till studien som publiceras i American Journal of Clinical Nutrition har jämfört resultaten från tidigare publicerade arti

Amerikanska forskare har lyckats omprogrammera alfaceller som utsöndrar det blodsockerhöjande hormonet glukagon och få dem att fungera tvärtom, som det blodsockersänkande hormonet insulin. Upptäckten kan leda till ett nytt sätt att behandla typ 2 diabetes. Två av de hormonproducerande cellerna i bukspottkörteln är beta- och alfaceller. Betacellens uppgift är att läsa av sockerhalten i blodet och v

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a new way to capture energy from sunlight – by using molecules that contain iron. The results are presented in the latest issue of Nature Chemistry. The hope is to develop efficient and environmentally friendly solar energy applications. Solar energy is an inexhaustible resource that we currently only utilise to a very limited extent. Researchers

A risk assessment system developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows which patients, with a certain type of streptococcal bacteria in the blood, need to be examined for a heart valve infection – a serious condition requiring prolonged medical treatment. “Our assessment system can help reduce unnecessary examinations of low-risk patients”, says Torgny Sunnerhagen, one of the researc

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
