Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the

När fiskar från olika miljöer möts är det inte alltid romantik i vattnet. Ny forskning från Lunds universitet visar att aggressiva honor aktivt kan stoppa hanar från ”fel” miljö – ett beteende som i förlängningen kan bidra till att nya arter uppstår. Att förstå hur arter bildas är en av biologins mest grundläggande frågor. I en ny studie har forskare undersökt olika populationer av den säregna mos

With the support of an EU grant of 1.9 million euros, Alzheimer's researcher Oskar Hansson will lead and coordinate a research collaboration between Sweden, Spain, France, Germany and Denmark. The goal is to create conditions for early and correct diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. This is to improve the treatment and care of the patients and reduce the societal costs that the disease causes. The i

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new and more accurate way to distinguish between harmful and harmless plaque in the blood vessels by using ultrasound. This can help healthcare providers determine the risk of strokes and heart attacks – which means avoiding unnecessary surgery for many patien

20 years of measurements are only the beginning. Long-term measurements over several decades are crucial to enable predictions of how airborne particles affect the future climate, according to Lund University researcher Erik Ahlberg. “Long-term measurements are important to prove that various climate initiatives actually work. Say we were to close all coal power plants today – with our time-series

Genom avancerade meteoritanalyser kan astronomerna slå fast att Tellus gick från att vara en bebisplanet av is och kol till att få sin nuvarande storlek tack vare millimeterstora småstenar. Studien visar också att jorden b

A landmark study led from Lund, Sweden, has shown that transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side effects linked to the transplanted cells were seen during the first year of follow up.

By fragment screening using x-ray crystallography we identified four ligands revealing ligand-binding sites in conserved interfaces between SARS-CoV-2 nsp10 and nsp14/nsp16. The nsp14/10 interaction is weak and therefore could be disrupted by small molecules. In a collaborative effort, the Lund Protein Production Platform (LP3), the FragMAX platform at the BioMAX beamline of the MAX IV laboratory,
