The role of circulating biomarkers, genetics, and diet in kidney function Today, between 8% and 16% of all individuals worldwide suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is becoming a growing public health issue. Creatinine and cystatin C are commonly used markers for kidney function, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria are used to stage CKD. However, creatinine

Charlotte Ling’s group Our researchThe goal of our research is to dissect the role of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and develop epigenetic-based therapies and biomarkers for precision medicine.Type 2 diabetes is a multifactorial disease, and combinations of genetic and non-genetic factors such as age, obesity, and physical inactivity increase disease risk. Data from our group

We shall explore genetic function by a combination of genetic and functional assays. First, via expression profiling, we intend to determine which genes for mitochondrial proteins are altered in pancreatic β-cells, liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. This will be performed in material from i) humans with or without the disease, ii) in genetically or pharmacologically manipulated animals an

To accomplish these goals we will: A) establish the stimulus-secretion coupling in human pancreatic islets from non-diabetic organ donors to obtain proof of concepts derived from rodent studies; these data will also establish the gold standard for efforts to differentiate embryonic stem cells into mature islet cells. B) Combine islet studies with genetic and metabolic studies in humanA) Our knowle

How do we get people from different cultures, industries and worlds to sit down and talk to each other? First, they need to be brought together, and this alone requires the right person for the job. Meet Paola Hjelt, member of Lund University Diabetes Centre’s Innovation Board, who talks about on how to accomplish a change of mindset. She grew up in Brussels, Belgium, has one degree from the Stock

PI: Nils Wierup The emergence of morbidly obese patients has prompted novel approaches to achieve weight reduction. Given that energy reduction by dieting is largely unsuccessful in this paitent group, surgical procedures have instead been developed to dramatically restrict food intake. Indeed, over the course of months patients may loose up to 50% in body weight. In addition, the majority of pati

PI: Albert Salehi The antiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is complex and involves the interaction between both genetic and environmental factors (also including nutritional and metabolic signals). It has been known for at long time that dysfunction fo pancreatic islets cell (α-, β- and δ-cell) is a critical factor in the development and progression of these diseases.One of the larg

Glucolipotoxicity:We will identify defects in the regulation of adipose tissue lipid metabolism associated with obesity and diabetes using models with altered expression of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL), the rate-limiting step in lipolysis 39 and phosphodiesterase3B (PDE3B) 40-42, a key enzyme controlling insulin action HSL activity. Altered profiles of lipid derived second messengers and alterat

New drug targetsWe have in the different sections tested a number of pathways as putative new drug targets including exploring the role of TXNIP for the development of glucotoxicity in β-cells, muscle and kidney and the role of glucokinase in the β-cells. We have also explored the role of Ncf1 in thymus mediated control of tolerance. Potentially, all studied pathways can include regulatory steps w

ASG 2025 Large research infrastructures – for example ESS and MaxIV right here in Lund – are crucial for advanced research and thereby solving sustainability challenges facing humankind. But they also affect society in other ways. Large research facilities are important in the search for solutions to questions critical to our future in medicine, environment, and energy provision. In parallel, howe

ASG 2025 Storytelling surrounds us and we love it. We tell stories, we listen to them, and we study them and our interpretation of them. Storytelling plays an essential role in human society. It has been intensely studied throughout history, but with little interaction between academic disciplines. Telling stories and understanding them is a highly complex behavior that is unique to the human spec

ASG 2025 We are well acquainted with the need for open science, digitalisation of research outcomes and processes. There is also a growing emphasis on user-friendly platforms supporting cross-disciplinary collaborations. But artistic research data management (ARDM) has its own challenges – and opportunities. To manage and share data generated from artistic research is easier said than done. This A
