Today's energy system is not equipped to deal with the extreme weather of the future, according to an international research group that tested 13 potential climate change scenarios on 30 cities in four different climate zones in Sweden. A growing share of renewable energy makes the system even more vulnerable, according to the projections published in Nature Energy. The climate is changing, and we

Researchers have discovered nematodes, or worms, in the brains of lizard embryos. This is the first time they have been found in reptile eggs, and it was previously believed that egg laying prevents parasites from being transmitted in this way. The discovery was made by an international research team led by Nathalie Feiner, evolutionary biologist at Lund University in Sweden. They found the worms

Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease is often difficult, as several other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a blood marker that can accurately diagnose Alzheimer’s in the early stages of the disease. ‟This is a major breakthrough. I believe this blood test can be used clinically in only a few years”, says Oskar Hansson, professor of neuro

By performing a few simple physical exercises daily, and receiving information about their disease regularly, 500 osteoarthritis patients were able to on average halve their pain in 6 months - and improve their physical function. The participants in the study from Lund University in Sweden used a newly developed mobile app to help them keep track. “We expected patients to see an improvement, but t

An international research team from Sweden and Hungary have discovered an entirely new sense in dogs: using their cold, wet nose tips, dogs can sense the heat from other animals or a human. “It has taken a rather long time to discover this, given that dog and man have lived side by side for 15,000 years, and we have remained unaware of this ability”, says Ronald Kröger, professor at Lund Universit

To understand what happens in the brain when Alzheimer's disease develops, researchers need to be able to study the molecular structures in the neurons affected by Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have tested a new imaging method for this purpose. The research is published in the journal Advanced Science. In Alzheimer's disease, so-called beta-amyloid plaques are forme
