Mashup Score: 4Sepsis – as common as cancer, as deadly as a heart attack - 8 month(s) ago
Lund University. In 2016, the research team conducted an initial study in southern Sweden (Skåne) where they revealed that sepsis is much more common than previously believed. The incidence turned out to be 750 adults per 100,000 individuals. In the latest study in the same region, the results showed that more than four percent of all hospitalizations involved the patient suffering from sepsis, and 20 percent of all sepsis patients died within three months.

Mashup Score: 1Smart microscopy works out where to take the picture - 1 year(s) ago
Lund University. A challenge when producing images of living biological material such as cells is knowing how to align the microscope in order to capture the specific interaction you are interested in – such as the moment of infection, for example. It is difficult to know whether you are in the right place, and succeeding often requires many attempts, which can take months. Researchers at Lund…

Mashup Score: 5
Lund University. The brain’s own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activated in different ways in several neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Depending on how they are…

Mashup Score: 1Breakthrough in converting CO2 into fuel using solar energy - 2 year(s) ago
Lund University. The sunlight that hits Earth during one hour corresponds roughly to humanity’s total energy consumption for an entire year. Our global carbon dioxide emissions are also increasing. Using the sun’s energy to capture greenhouse gases and converting it into fuel or another useful chemical, is a research focus for many today. However, there is still no satisfactory solution, but an…

Mashup Score: 3Alzheimer's disease is composed of four distinct subtypes - 3 year(s) ago
“In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the brain, these findings indicate that tau pathology in the brain varies according to at least four distinct patterns. This would suggest that Alzheimer’s is an even more heterogeneous disease than previously thought.

“If our results are confirmed in further studies, it would be relevant to screen for these resistance mutations already at diagnosis, and then consider other treatment options that could work better for patients with mutated tumors,” says Lao Saal, who led the study, the largest of its kind on resistance mutations in the estrogen receptor in primary breast cancer.

Mashup Score: 0App predicts risk of developing Alzheimer’s - 3 year(s) ago
Oskar Hansson and his colleagues have been researching different biomarkers for a long time to produce better diagnostics at an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Over the past year, they have also developed accurate markers in blood tests for Alzheimer’s. The aim has been to identify the disease at an early stage of its progression, before the actual dementia stage, in order to begin treatment…
