Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain’s rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia, epilepsy and other neurological conditions. Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. They control nerv

Solo living in your own home places a greater strain on the planet’s resources than living with others, as everyone needs their own appliances – a toaster, a washing machine and so on. The Nordic countries stand out: almost half of all households are solo living households. Sustainability researcher Tullia Jack interviewed people who live alone about the reasons for this and hopes for new forms of

A lot has happened in coagulation medicine since Jan Astermark first started his research in the 1980s. The most recent progress is in gene therapy and the first patients with severe haemophilia who were treated in Malmö last year. “It is fantastically exciting to work in a research field where so much is happening. The research and the progress in treatment that have taken place in recent decades

When you take a dip in a Swedish lake, it is not unusual to find you cannot see the lake bottom. Lake water coloured brown by organic material can be an inconvenience for swimming tourists, but mainly causes problems for the ecosystem and drinking water. Focusing on Lake Bolmen, researchers, public authorities and local organisations are now joining forces in a research project to find methods tha

Alzheimer’s disease seems to progress faster in women than in men. The protein tau accumulates at a higher rate in women, according to research from Lund University in Sweden. The study was recently published in Brain. Over 30 million people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease worldwide, making it the most common form of dementia. Tau and beta-amyloid are two proteins known to aggregate and accumulate

Video streamlines teaching During the pandemic, we were largely forced to start using different tools in order to continue to provide our students with the teaching they needed. Video became one of the tools that facilitated this. Video streamlined teaching; we did not need to host Zoom lectures for everything. Students also gained flexibility in their learning, m

Researchers in Lund, Copenhagen and Norwich have shown that harmful mutations present in the DNA play an important – yet neglected – role in the conservation and translocation programs of threatened species. “Many species are threatened by extinction, both locally and globally. For example, we have lost about ten vertebrate species in Sweden in the last century. However, all these species occur el
