This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), dopamine-producing nerve cells that control our movements waste away. Current treatments for PD therefore aim at restoring dopamine contents in the brain. In a new study from Lund University, researchers are attacking the problem from a different angle, through early activation of a protei

Starting at the beginning of next year it will no longer be possible to get IT support on site at Medicon Village. Employees are referred to support by phone or email in the same way as the rest of the faculty. Delivery of computers and other hardware will continue to be handled at BMC. Due to the cost-cutting constraints on IT at the Faculty of Medicine, the department has had to review how the a

While Primula is down, it is important that everyone manually documents the cases that they normally register in Primula themselves, so that the information can be registered correctly afterwards, when we regain access to the system. To ensure this works the Faculty management has come to the conclusion that we at the Faculty of Medicine should follow this routine as long as the shutdown lasts. La

De senaste åren har de digitala vårdalternativen för patienter med knä- och höftartros ökat kraftigt – inte minst på grund av pandemin. Men hittills har det inte gjorts några studier som har jämfört effekten av de digitala vårdinsatserna med de traditionellt fysiska. I en studie som publiceras i tidskriften JAMA Network Open, har forskare jämfört de två artrosskolorna. Cirka var fjärde person över

From Spain to Estonia, multiple Erasmus students gathered to prepare a special event at school. This event organized by the international team was held in the Malmö Music Academy cafeteria. The idea came from Sara Engblom, international coordinator at the academy. I got the idea during a visit to the Netherlands last year. It was at a much larger academy and therefore with many more students, b

Lund University has set aside up to SEK 100 million for a university-wide investment in excellence at Lund University with a focus on Agenda 2030 and sustainable development for the period 2021-2025. Within the framework of this program, the Research Board has previously announced funding for interdisciplinary projects in the spring of 2021. The open call engaged widely and a large number of resea
A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

Förutom minnessvårigheter och andra kognitiva symptom lider de flesta som drabbas av Alzheimers sjukdom också av psykiska besvär. Länge har det varit oklart om dessa uppstår på grund av vävnadsförändringarna i hjärnan, eller om de utgör psykologiska reaktioner till följd av de kognitiva symptomen. En studie vid Lunds universitet har gett nya insikter om de psykiska symptomens uppkomst vid Alzheime
