Enhancing cancer treatment by improving how therapeutic nanoparticles enter and act within cells is a promising direction. Christelle Prinz and her team have shown that photothermal therapy is more effective when the nanoparticles target the endoplasmic reticulum, which is achieved by performing nanostraw injections. Gold nanoparticles, especially a type called AuSHINs, show great promise for trea

How do you challenge the struggles with your PhD? How do you explain nanoscience to pupils in elementary school? And how do you maintain the balance between science and social activities? These are topics discussed in a podcast where Areej Al-Sabban from Lund University Global Engagement talks to Adam Burke, Patrik Nilsson, and Pratik Bhagwat. In a recent podcast made by Areej Al-Sabban from Lund

Can innovation strengthen research? Former NanoLund director Heiner Linke, professor of nanophysics and member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, achieved this by combining research and innovation. His own attitude towards utilisation and innovation has evolved from a sense of duty to passion: “Now I think it’s genuinely exciting.” Do you see increasing integration of innovation within rese

By studying how materials build themselves and by mimicking those processes, it is possible to create materials with new structures and properties. This is what Wallenberg Scholar Kimberly Dick Thelander, professor of materials science at Lund University, is doing. At the nano scale, which is measured in billionths of a meter, phenomena occur that do not otherwise exist. Thelander and her colleagu

Pressmeddelande från Uppsala universitet: I år är det 100 år sedan insulinet upptäcktes. Diabetes som tidigare inneburit en säker död blev plötsligt behandlingsbart. Sedan dess har insulinläkemedlen och även metoderna för att mäta blodsocker förbättrats. I framtiden hoppas forskarna kunna bota sjukdomen med hjälp av stamceller. Om 10–15 år kan det vara fullt möjligt att transplantation av insulinp

Risken för diabeteskomplikationer varierar kraftigt mellan olika individer. Några lever relativt friska med sjukdomen i flera decennier, andra drabbas betydligt snabbare och av allvarliga hälsoproblem. Enligt forskare är det de typ 2 diabetiker som fick sin diagnos tidigt, som har högt fasteblodsocker och stort midjemått. I en artikel i tidskriften Journal of Diabetes and its Complications har for

Personer med typ 2-diabetes har sämre muskelfunktion än friska personer. Nu har forskare sett att vid typ 2-diabetes har genen VPS39 stor betydelse för muskelfunktionen och muskelstamcellernas förmåga att bygga nya muskelceller. Det framkommer i en ny internationell studie ledd från Lunds universitet. Studien är publicerad i Nature Communications. – Hos personer med typ 2-diabetes är genen VPS39 b

”Diabetes är en underlig sjukdom”. Så sa en grekisk läkare för nästan 2 000 år sedan. Dagens diabetesforskare skulle kanske inte använda ordet underlig men fortfarande finns många angelägna frågor som väntar på ett svar. En av dem är varför den egna insulinproduktionen ganska snabbt helt slås ut hos de flesta nyinsjuknade i typ 1 diabetes men inte hos alla. De behåller en egen liten insulinprodukt

Kan ett minskat intag av gluten under småbarnsåren påverka ett insjuknande i celiaki, glutenintolerans? Detta ska forskare vid Lunds universitet undersöka i den nya studien GRAIN (Gluten Reduction after Infancy and risk of Celiac Disease). – Vi har i tidigare studier sett att mängden gluten man äter spelar roll för risken att bli sjuk. I GRAIN vill vi se om vi kan förhindra ett insjuknande om man
