Att äta ost och grädde med hög fetthalt kan ha ett samband med en lägre risk för att utveckla demens. Det visar en ny stor studie vid Lunds universitet. Forskarna analyserade kostvanor hos drygt 27 000 personer och kopplade dessa till förekomsten av demens under en uppföljningstid på upp till 25 år. Debatten om fettsnåla dieter har länge format våra hälsoråd och påverkat hur vi ser på mat och häls

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en mekanism som hjälper akut myeloisk leukemi-celler att undgå kroppens immunförsvar. Genom att utveckla en antikropp som blockerar mekanismen kunde forskarna återställa immunförsvarets förmåga att döda cancercellerna i laboratorieförsök och i möss. Upptäckten publiceras i Nature Cancer. Studien i korthet:I studien visas hur en nyupptäckt mekanism

Allt fler svenska tatuerar sig och Sveriges befolkning är nu en av de mest tatuerade i Europa. Samtidigt ökar förekomsten av melanom. En ny epidemiologisk studie från Lunds universitet, tyder på att tatueringar kan vara en riskfaktor för melanom. Forskningsläget kring tatueringar och cancerMot bakgrund av det dåliga kunskapsläget kring långsiktiga hälsoeffekter av tatueringar, tillsammans med att

En nygammal idé kan få vattnet att räcka till alla. Experter är eniga men politiker ovilliga att agera. Men vattenprofessor Kenneth M Persson har ett konkret förslag till beslutsfattare på hur det kan gå till. Världen både svämmar över och torkar bort. Det finns inget som tyder på att det inte blir värre, också i Sverige.Idag ägs och förvaltas vattnet av alla.– Så behöver det vara också i framtide

Den viktigaste mineralen i dagens elbilsbatterier är litium. Kina totaldominerar marknaden och ingen utvinning sker i Europa. Men en ny studie visar att det finns en stor potential för europeisk litiumproduktion, till gagn för konkurrenskraft, klimat och säkerhet. Studien påvisar också komplexa internationella handelsberoenden som påverkar utbud och efterfrågan. Den europeiska biltillverkningen, s

Ett forskarteam vid Lunds universitet har följt hur patienter med avancerad cancer, söker vård under sin sista tid i livet. Genom att studera deras vårdmönster, har forskarteamet utvecklat en mätmetod som relaterar sjukvårdsbehov till tidens förändrade värde för patienter i livets slutskede. Ju mindre tid de har kvar att leva, desto mer värdefull känns tiden. Varje år dör knappt en procent av Sver

Gases used in anaesthesia are potent greenhouse gases, and their total global impact has not previously been known. A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows that greenhouse gas emissions from anaesthetic gases have decreased by 27% over the last ten years. By swapping out the anaesthetic gas with the highest climate impact, the climate impact of anaesthetic gas

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In late May–early June, Lund University will hold a Nobel Symposium in Physics and Chemistry where newly discovered super-heavy elements will be discussed. The possibility for a Nobel Prize looms on the horizon, but the road ahead is not straightforward and competition between countries and researchers is fierce. Dirk

Perhaps not, argues Yulia Vakulenko. At least not when it comes to the delivery service needs and preferences of rural versus urban e-consumers in the age of consumer-centric supply chain management. The new age of consumer-centric supply chain management highlights the benefits of placing the consumer at the core of strategy development and operations design.

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
