Iron-fortified food to help combat nutrient deficiency

Iron deficiency is a major global health problem that largely affects women of reproductive age, and young children. To tackle this issue, researchers at Malmö University have developed an effective way to improve the absorption of this mineral in the gut...

Home monitoring of Parkinson’s disease symptoms could improve care

A digital technology for smartphones and other portable devices, developed by Malmö University researchers, can quantify the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in the home environment.

AI produces stereotypical and anachronistic images when portraying the past

Can AI help us understand the past – or does it project a hallucination of history? A research project tested how an image model visualises the year 1936: the results are stereotypical, anachronistic and shaped by today's digital image flows.

Nanotechnology paves the way for new antiviral drugs and simpler virus tests

Researchers at Malmö University have developed a new type of nanomaterial that can block a virus from attaching to cell surfaces and potentially simplify virus detection. This could become a powerful alternative to today's standard virus tests.

Measures for Change

Research results must be reliable. A prerequisite for this is that the methods and instruments—such as surveys/questionnaires—on which the results are based have the ability to accurately measure what they are intended to measure. Despite this, many...

Lower radiation possible when X-raying children with cleft palates

Radiation dose can be reduced when X-raying children with special healthcare needs, such as congenital cleft palate, according to a thesis by a researcher at Malmö University.

New method detects novel variants of COVID-19

Researchers at Malmö University have developed sensors that can detect different variants of the corona virus with high precision. This method means that it will be possible to keep pace with this rapidly changing viruses.
