Eating cheese and cream with a high fat content may be linked to a lower risk of developing dementia. This is shown by a new large-scale study from Lund University. The researchers analysed the dietary habits of more than 27,000 people and linked these to the occurrence of dementia over a follow-up period of up to 25 years. The debate about low-fat diets has long shaped our health advice and influ

Finding housing is a major challenge for students in university towns like Lund, where demand far exceeds supply. Long queue systems, high rents, and limited options force many to commute or move frequently — disrupting their studies and daily life. Negar Khaliliaraghi, shows in her research, a clear causal link between student housing and academic performance. Finding accommodation is often one o

Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease can be difficult, as several other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Now a new brain imaging method can show the spread of specific tau protein depositions, which are unique to cases with Alzheimer's. ‟The method works very well. I believe it will be applied clinically all over the world in only a few years”, says Oskar Hansson. Hansson is a professor of clinica

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There has been no known link between diabetes and vitamin A – until now. A new study suggests that the vitamin improves the insulin producing β-cell´s function. The researchers initially discovered that insulin-producing beta-cells contain a large quantity of a cell surface receptor for vitamin A.“There are no unneces

A groundbreaking study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the Australian Bogong moth uses the stars and the Milky Way as a compass during its annual 1,000-kilometre journey to cool inland caves. It also reveals that the Earth’s magnetic field plays an important role in the enigmatic moth’s navigation. It is absolutely amazing considering the length of the journey. It’s the equivalent of a h
