Forskare publicerar nya rön om validerade biomarkörer för individens risk att utveckla Alzheimers sjukdom. Med en modell som kombinerar nivåerna av två specifika proteiner i blodet hos personer med lättare minnessvårigheter kan forskarna förutsäga risken att utveckla alzheimerdemens på individnivå. Forskarna har även utvecklat en onlinetjänst, en app där läkaren skriver in patientens undersöknings

Ett engagemang i alternativ hälsa och en skepsis mot myndigheter, politiker och läkemedelsbolag tycks förena den heterogena gruppen av vaccinskeptiska. – Många av dem är inte rädda för att bli smittade av infektionssjukdomar, för de är övertygade om att det inte kommer hända, säger etnologen och medievetaren Mia-Marie Hammarlin, som är i början av ett projekt om vaccinationskritik. Det fyråriga pr

In healthcare, treatments developed for broad patient groups are often used. This is not always an effective approach. Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova has therefore distributed research grants to eleven Swedish innovation environments whose research aims to develop more individually adapted healthcare for patients. The stem cell researchers at the IndiCell innovation environment have been award

Eva Nordmark was 62 when she received her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. But rather than life ending, it gave her the chance to reclaim parts of her life that she had not previously had time for. It is a sunny autumn day at the Humlamaden rehab centre outside Veberöd, and the stable is full of life and activity. The 32-year-old Shetland pony Brossan is sauntering around the yard doing whatever takes his f

What happens when people meet? How do they interact? How do they react? Annika Nyman, lecturer at Malmö Theatre Academy, regards helping students to understand these things as the most important aspect of her teaching duties. Inside the Malmö Theatre Academy’s premises on Bergsgatan in Malmö, a group of acting students are busy rehearsing their degree project, a production that will be staged at B

Two researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center receive grants, 61 million, for research into immunological long-term memory and reprogramming of tumor cells. The research should lead to more effective vaccination strategies and immunotherapies. The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has granted SEK 835 million to 30 different projects in medicine, natural science and technology that are deemed to have

There are delicious smells emanating from the kitchen at the Malmö apartment of nutrition physiologist, Louise Brunkwall. Today, she is making pasta and vegetable sauce for lunch. A clean up before the interview with LUM means she can no longer find anything in the kitchen cupboards:  “Usually there is always some kind of organised chaos here!” Louise Brunkwall knew from an early age that she want

Researchers at Lund University and DTU in Copenhagen have discovered enzymes in the colon that, when mixed with red blood cells, can cut away parts of the carbohydrates that separate our ABO blood groups from each other. The method brings us closer to the dream of a universal blood for everyone. It has long been known that blood from different individuals cannot be mixed randomly without the risk

In the gigantic particle accelerator known as the Large Hadron Collider, LHC, at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland and France, protons almost reach the speed of light before colliding with each other. The results provide us with new knowledge about the origins of the universe, its smallest components, dark matter and possible clues to dark energy. The Large Hadron Collider, LHC, at the CERN labor

Where is the debate on the Strut inquiry's proposals and their consequences? That is the question being asked by the three researchers Kristian Pietras, Hanna Isaksson and Emma Sparr who are particularly worried by one of the proposals. – An increase in direct government funding at the cost of weakened research councils may mean that research loses its freedom and international competitiveness.

Every year Birger Schmitz, Fredrik Terfelt and Ellinor Martin dissolve five to ten tonnes of limestone with highly dangerous chemicals. The aim is to find microscopic grains from fossilised meteorites that are many millions of years old, which can provide important clues to the development of life on Earth.  LUM was given a tour of the world-unique acid laboratory.  There is a smacking sound as Fr

New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study showed an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes (T1D). Notably, researchers also found that early adenovirus C infection seemed to confer protection from autoimmunity. The full findings

The Planetary Health Diet. That's the diet that will keep us healthy and put food on the table for a future world population of 10 billion. But will it reduce strokes, premature deaths and greenhouse gas emissions? To find out, Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff compared different dietary indices. Her own index came out on top, and the results are now published in the prestigious Lancet Pla
