De nya blodproven för att diagnostisera Alzheimers sjukdom ger allt bättre möjligheter till tidig diagnos, men en utmaning är att markörerna som mäts förändras långt innan symtom utvecklas. Forskning ledd från Lunds universitet visar nu att en tidigare inte använd blodmarkör kan, när den kombineras med dagens blodmarkörer, betydligt minska risken för att personer får missvisande besked om sjukdom.

Svenska urskogar lagrar 83 procent mer kol än brukade skogar, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Skillnaden är betydligt större än tidigare uppskattningar och beror främst på stora kollager i marken. Studien, som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Science, är den hittills mest omfattande kartläggningen av hur mycket kol som lagras i svenska urskogar. Resultaten visar att urskogar l

Nämnden för prövning av oredlighet i forskning (NPOF) har fällt en forskare vid Lunds universitet för oredlighet i forskning. Den 14 november inkom en anmälan om misstänkt avvikelse från god forskningssed till Lunds universitet. Eftersom anmälan rörde misstanke om förfalskade referenser i en doktorsavhandling överlämnandes anmälan till den Nationella nämnden för prövning av oredlighet i forskning

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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Building engines – out of proteins. That’s the aim for a research project, coordinated by Heiner Linke at NanoLund, Lund University in Sweden. The project is now being funded by the European Research Council (ERC) – it received a EUR 10 million ERC Synergy Grant. The 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to resear

The complex challenges in our society require new solutions. We need high-quality, challenge-relevant research brought together in collective efforts over subject and sector boundaries, combined with strong curiosity-driven research. With this need in mind, the Strategic Research Areas (SRAs) were initiated about ten years ago. Lund University has now launched a new strategy for its SRAs. NanoLund

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. If silence is golden, speech is silver – and singing the worst. Singing doesn’t need to be silenced, however, but at the moment the wisest thing is to sing with social distancing in place. The advice comes from aerosol researchers Jakob Löndahl and Malin Alsved at Lund University. They have studied the amount of parti

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By studying cold atoms, researchers have in a unique way been able to observe a precursor to a quantum phase transition, and thereby study physical processes that can be compared to the Higgs mechanism. The discovery can, among other things, provide more knowledge about quantum mechanical processes that are similar to
