That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study by Anna Stubbendorff at the Agenda 2030 Graduate School. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline deve

Parkinson’s disease, a condition whose complications worsen as the years go by, can mean that getting older becomes particularly challenging. How can life be made easier for these individuals, so that they can continue to be active and participate in society? This is the aim of a multi-year study that examines the interplay between health and home among people ageing with Parkinson’s disease. Sinc

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Is it possible that a tiny pollen dredged up from a European lake can hold answers about both our past and our future? Researchers at Lund University use pollen as old as 12 000 years to predict our future climate, and to study ecological and historical change. Researchers Esther Githumbi and Johan Lindström use polle

In many ways, Swedish industrialisation began in the home. Women spun, wove and sewed clothes for payment in between their daily agricultural tasks, food preparation and childcare. But didn’t all industrial production gradually move into the factories? ‟No, it didn’t. That is a common misconception,” says economic historian Malin Nilsson, who is researching paid home industry work. ‟That is an ove

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv

A new joint initiative in immunotherapy between Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, brings researchers, clinicians and engineers together to shorten the path from research to patient benefit. The initiative is accompanied by the recruitment of three new tenure‑track Assistant Professors in immunotherapy through the Lund University Programme for Global Excellence. The initiative
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, researchers must constantly adapt to new tools, meet increasing demands on visibility, and navigate rapid technological shifts. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. To support faculty research staff, the Science Library has launched Quick Bites for Researchers - a digital knowledge series designed to provide clear, concise insights on key topics.This series offer

Our city centres and their development are a subject of constant debate. Ulf Johansson suggests that, if we let the market decide, our city centres will eventually be emptied of retail. Most recently, representatives from our food retailers suggested to municipalities that regulations on establishment locations be relaxed, advocating for the mantra of letting the market rule (Dagligvarunytt 2022a,

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms.

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. It has long been known that t
