Feta råttor utvecklar en förhöjd smak för sött och sötsuget gör att de hamnar i en ond cirkel där fetman förvärras. En fetmaoperation gör inte bara att de snabbt går ned i vikt. Även deras sötsug minskar. Mycket tyder på att detta också gäller överviktiga människor. Fetmaoperationer är en drastisk men effektiv behandling för kraftig och varaktig viktminskning. En långtidsuppföljning, mellan 6 och

Så beskriver professor Freddy Ståhlberg den senaste pusselbiten till Lunds universitetsmedicinska bildcentrums (LBIC) maskinella utrustning. Vetenskapsrådet har nyligen beviljat en ansökan om en nationell anläggning för ultrahögfälts MR (se faktaruta nedan) med placering i Lund. Det rör sig om en ny magnetresonanskamera som ger en mycket högre upplösning än de kameror som används idag. – Vi vill e

Också äldre än 80 år som drabbas av hjärtinfarkt tjänar på blodfettssänkande behandling. En genomgång av knappt 15 000 svenska patienter visar att dödligheten nästan hade halverats om de hade fått rätt medicin. Äldre som drabbas av hjärtinfarkt löper större risk att dö men behandlas i lägre grad än yngre med kolesterolsänkande mediciner. Detta trots att behandlingen ger goda resultat även för äldr

Det behövs en folkhälsokampanj i Sverige om diabetes, vad sjukdomen innebär och hur den kan förebyggas, konstaterar Nationella Diabetesteamet i ett pressmeddelande. – Tyvärr kan vi dagligen i den praktiska verksamheten på sjukhuskliniker och vårdcentraler konstatera att diabetespatienterna blir allt yngre, vi ser betydligt fler 40-åringar idag. Patienterna är också tyngre. Åtta av tio vuxna som få

Kakao har en skyddande effekt mot hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, det har flera studier visat. Nu vet forskare vid Linköpings universitet också varför. Choklad verkar på samma sätt och lika effektivt som ett vanligt blodtryckssänkande medicin. När en grupp försökspersoner fick mumsa i sig en ordentlig bit mörk choklad hämmades enzymet ACE i kroppen. Enzymet bidrar till att höja blodtrycket.Bakom studien

Researchers from Lund University, led by Dr. Laurent Roybon, are working to further define underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy. Their latest discovery, published in PNAS, could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as these, as well as other synucleiopathies in the fu

Frontotemporal dementia begins relatively early compared to other forms of dementia. We still know relatively little about what causes the disease, however, new research from Lund University in Sweden shows that the folds in the brain that are formed in the latter stages of pregnancy could have an impact on the age at which the disease takes hold. Those affected by frontotemporal dementia usually

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 study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

The MultiPark backbone for research interactions is about to be reorganized. Thanks to our members' suggestions, we are now creating 13 special interest groups to address important scientific and technological areas. The process of finding engaged leaders for these groups is about to start, providing opportunities for professional development and network formation to our young scientists. During t

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

The glymphatic system, which helps clear waste products from the brain, was discovered about a decade ago. Nicholas Bèchet’s project shines light on how it works in Alzheimer’s disease. On June 17, he defends his PhD thesis supervised by Iben Lundgaard at MultiPark. Here, he tells about his discoveries and why we should not compromise on our sleep. Tell us about your research!

Researchers from Lund University interested in understanding how aging affects the brain have made a new discovery that will help make it easier to study age-related brain diseases and potential treatments in the future. The key to this? human skin cells. The human brain is often likened to the night sky. Look up and one will see billions upon billions of stars. Our brains are similar in that with
