Kajsa Brolin forskar om hur våra gener och vår miljö påverkar risken att utveckla Parkinsons sjukdom. Den 27 mars lägger hon fram sin avhandling som till stor del baseras på MultiParks egen biobank som innehåller prover från över 1000 skånska parkinsonpatienter. Här berättar hon om en nyligen upptäckt genetisk riskfaktor som verkar finnas specifikt i Skåne. Och skyddar verkligen kaffe mot Parkinso

A new study from LUCSUS shows that the UN's sustainable development goals as a whole do not contribute to making us more resilient to cope with disruptive changes, such as climate change. The researchers behind the study believe that the next global agenda should put the relationship between ecosystems and humans in focus and start from flexible goals that promote transformative leadership and are

Fredrik Nilsson successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on May 10, 2023. For the last four years, Fredrik has explored the use of patient-specific cells in cell replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease to identify strategies to safeguard these transplanted cells from disease-related degeneration. In this interview, he tells us about his findings, their potential implications for future therapies

A large amount of lungs donated cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital have conducted an animal study bringing hope that more donor lungs could be used in the future. The researchers have launched a pilot study to investigate whether the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 19

The lab that will take us closer to the aviation fuel of the future has now opened. The Jet Engine Lab at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) makes it possible to conduct full-scale studies on how engines are affected by new fuels – knowledge that will become increasingly important when fossil-based aviation fuels are phased out and replaced by more sustainable alternatives. The Jet Engine Lab is at

In May and June 2020, more that 300 dead elephants were found in Botswana´s Okavango Delta. Initially it was suspected that poaching was the reason, but it was later shown that they were poisoned by cyanobacteria. This is an increasing environmental problem, and recent work to create a global dataset on algal blooms shows significant changes in the last twenty years. Toxic algal blooms in water, k

The increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing our climate to warm at an alarming rate. The consequent changes are unprecedented, and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the Earth system.  While we know that half of the carbon emissions released to the atmosphere by fossil fuel usage are re-captured by the ocean and land ecosystems, we still lack knowledge when i
