De senaste 50 åren har mängden vatten utan syre mer än fyrdubblats i de öppna haven. I kustnära vatten, inklusive flodmynningar och hav, har områden med syrebrist mer än tiodubblats sedan 1950. Att skydda känsliga arter, ta kontroll på övergödning och klimatförändringar samt förbättra spårteknik är några lösningar på problemet, enligt forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet.Mer information

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

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
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

Congratulations to Charlotte Ling who, together with Katarina Fagher and Alice Maguolo, has been awarded a grant of five million Danish kroner by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The funding will support clinical research in precision medicine, focusing on epigenetic analysis of blood samples from 13,000 individuals.

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

Inflammation researcher Ben King studies the function of two different proteins in connection with diabetes. In the future, such knowledge may be important for the development of new treatments for people with diabetes. Ben King is this year’s recipient of the Medeon Award for his innovative research. “I was very surprised and feel very honored to receive the award. In my role, I do a lot of exper

An international team of researchers has investigated whether oral insulin can prevent early signs of type 1 diabetes and clinical diagnosis in children with an increased risk of developing the disease. Although treatment with oral insulin could not prevent development of diabetes-related autoantibodies, oral insulin delayed the rate of disease progression in children who developed such autoantibo

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

Diabetes researchers at Lund University have previously shown that people with diabetes can be stratified into five subgroups with differing disease progression. A new study by the same researchers provides increased evidence for the clinical relevance of the classification system. The researchers also present new findings of significant differences between subgroups in the development of complica

How can a tiny genetic change alter the body´s sugar balance? At Lund University, researchers have used stem cells to create two versions of the same cell – one carrying the genetic variant and one without – to see how melatonin affects insulin-producing cells and contributes to development of type 2 diabetes.
