En stor kartläggning i Danmark och Norge visar att barn som ammas har en kraftigt minskad risk för att senare i livet insjukna i typ 1 diabetes. Resultaten visar att barn som aldrig hade ammats löpte en fördubblad risk att insjukna. Det är känt att det finns en genetisk sårbarhet för att utveckla typ 1 diabetes men det faktum att sjukdomen under de senaste 50 åren blivit allt vanligare talar stark

Tidigare studier har väckt frågan om att metformin på längre sikt påverkar kognitiva förmågor negativt, kanske även utvecklandet av demens. Nu kan en stor undersökning skriva av farhågorna – metformin har inga negativa bieffekter på intellektet. Olika studier har testat om diabetesmedelet medlet minskar risken för att insjukna i typ 2 diabetes för personer i riskzonen. Livsstilsförändringar var ef

Nu presenteras en nyupptäckt mekanism bakom den minskade insulinproduktionen vid diabetes typ 2. I en artikel i Nature Communications beskriver forskare vid Sahlgrenska akademin hur insulinproducerande celler backar i sin utveckling, blir omogna, och inte fungerar som de ska. Ett fynd som öppnar för nya kliniska behandlingar. – Om man kan påverka på cellnivå, och återställa kroppens egen sekundsna

Det har inte funnits något känt samband mellan diabetes och vitamin A. Inte förrän nu. Den fråga forskarna ställde sig var varför de insulinbildande betacellerna har så rikligt med en nyupptäckt mottagare för A-vitamin? Deras svar är att vitamin A spelar en viktig roll både för betacellens utveckling i det tidiga stadiet i livet men även för överlevnad resten av livet. Vitaminet gör cellerna bättr

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a slowly progressing form of blood cancer that attacks the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. The condition requires lifelong treatment that can cause severe side effects. Rebecca Warfvinge maps stem cells in patients in the hope of identifying predictive markers for how the patient will react to therapy. She has now received an award of USD 20,000 from the

Directly after birth, the immune system completes production of a subtype of antibody-producing immune cells, B-1, that are to last for a lifetime. No more B1-cells are formed after that point. However, these cells are self-reactive – they produce not only antibodies against foreign substances, but also against the body’s own substances, and it is unclear why the immune system allows for the devel
