Under de senaste åren har såväl forskare vid Lunds universitet som flera andra internationella forskargrupper framgångsrikt publicerat nya rön kring tidig och korrekt diagnostik av demenssjukdomar. Men fortsatt tar diagnostiken lång tid och kräver dyr och avancerad teknik. Nu har lundaforskarna utvecklat en prognostisk algoritm som väger samman enklare blodprov med snabba minnestester för att med

Den vanligaste använda metoden att testa för covid-19 är med RT-PCR genom ett nässvalgsprov taget med bomullspinne. Provtagning från nässvalget är ofta obehaglig och RT-PCR-test kräver även analys i laboratorium. I en ny studie från Lunds universitet har forskare undersökt om snabbantigentest för covid-19 kan användas på saliv i stället för att pinna nässvalget. Resultaten är publicerade i Infecti

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. An international study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows that the rapid increase in land use in the world's tropical areas is affecting the global carbon cycle more than was previously known. By studying data from a new satellite imaging system, the researchers also found that the biomass in tropic

Red-backed shrikes fly thousands of kilometres to reach Africa – and they do so with astonishing precision. Aided by new technology, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been able to track the birds’ journeys in detail. It turns out that they may have a more complex genetic migration programme than researchers have previously been able to show. “We can now follow a bird’s location through

Forskare vid Lunds universitet och DTU i Köpenhamn har upptäckt enzymer i tjocktarmen som, när de blandas med röda blodkroppar, kan klippa bort delar av de kolhydrater som skiljer våra ABO-blodgrupper från varandra. Metoden tar oss närmare drömmen om ett universalblod för alla. Sedan länge är det känt att blod från olika individer inte kan blandas hur som helst utan risk för allvarliga konsekvense

Efter mer än ett decennium av stiltje har njurforskningen fått ett lyft. Nya läkemedel och biomarkörer gör det möjligt att upptäcka och bromsa sjukdomsförlopp tidigare – något som länge verkade ouppnåeligt. Och det här kommer att påverka personer med diabetes, där njurskada är en allvarlig långtidskomplikation. – Vi står inför en ny era. Det som sker nu liknar det som skedde inom hjärt- kärlsjukvå

What happens when a group of people share a big interest, want to develop this, and spread it further? Well, if this group consists of PhD students, master students, teachers and researchers at LUSEM really good things can happen, as the establishment of a new Data Science Lab.

An evolutionary perspective should be taken into account to ensure long-term crop pollination. This is the conclusion of an article published by BECC and CEC-affiliated researchers at Lund University. The researchers build on recent findings that evolutionary processes, in response to landscape change, are happening faster than previously thought. The article presents a model that can help us unde

Unfair, ineffective, and inefficient. These are some of the moral objections to increasing fuel prices in Sweden. A new study from Lund University identifies how social movements are resisting green transition policies through moral reasoning and argues that their concerns must be both recognised and responded to, in order to achieve a low-carbon future. – If politicians want different climate pol

This year’s report from the V-Dem Institute’s Academic Freedom Index focuses in particular on the institutional autonomy of higher education institutions in different countries, which in turn is fundamental to the protection of individual academic freedom.  This includes countries such as Hungary, which began its steady decline from a high ranking in institutional autonomy in 2009 to a bottom-of-t
