New study: Parents' metabolic traits can affect the child's health over time

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previous research by diabetes researcher Rashmi Prasad has shown

New research track: higher amounts of dietary fibre before the age of two can reduce the later risk of coeliac disease

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets. But a clinical trial is al

Hjelt Diabetes Foundation supports research that can pave the way for new cell therapies

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that usually requires lifelong treatment. A central goal for many diabetes researchers is to develop new cell therapies that can cure the disease. The Bo and Kerstin Hjelt Diabetes Foundation provides support to two diabetes researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre who contribute with new knowledge to this research field. Type 1 diabetes is a condition wh

Biomarkers reveal risk of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

Review: Type 2 diabetes and obesity – what do we really know?

Social and economic factors have led to a dramatic rise in type 2 diabetes and obesity around the world. In a review in Science, Mark McCarthy, professor at the University of Oxford, UK, and Paul Franks, professor at Lund University, Sweden, examine the knowledge of the actual causes and the interplay between genetics and lifestyle factors. By studying how our genes express themselves in response

Lund initiates genetic sequencing study in diabetes families to provide new insights into what causes the disease

Lund University Diabetes Centre has entered into a collaboration with the Regeneron Genetics Center LLC (RGC) and the University of Helsinki involving exome-sequencing and whole genome array genotyping of greater than 9,000 individuals. The collaboration will involve the largest sequencing study in diabetes families to date and aims to help generate knowledge about how to predict diabetes, causes

THADA - new findings in the role of the mother in type 2 diabetes

Research from Lund University in Sweden can explain why type 2 diabetes is inherited to a greater extent from an individual’s mother. The heredity of a previously known risk gene, THADA, has proven to be dominant if it comes from the mother, whereas it has little or no effect on the child’s risk of disease if it originates from the father.
“Our research contributes to increased knowledge about the

New findings explain the connection between melatonin and type 2 diabetes

A new experimental and clinical study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the sleep hormone melatonin impairs insulin secretion in people with a common gene variant.

“This could explain why the risk of type 2 diabetes is greater among, for instance, overnight workers or people with sleeping disorders”, says Professor Hindrik Mulder who is responsible for the study. Melatonin is a naturally

New findings can lead to a new principle for treating diabetic kidney damage

One in three people with diabetes will face some form of renal impairment in the course of their lives. Studies conducted by researchers at the Lund University Diabetes Centre may lead to the development of an entirely new principle for treating type 2 diabetes and preventing kidney damage in the future. Previous analyses have not been able to identify genetic causes as to why some people have a h

Focus on personalized treatment of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease

The European Research Council makes a large investment in diabetes research. A project led by Professor Paul Franks at Lund University Diabetes Centre is to develop methods that can be used in the design of preventive treatment for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. - Through this project we will use functional genomics and epidemiology to identify novel molecular mechanisms that underlie
