The role of gut microbiota in disease and health has become one of today’s hottest fields of research. In her thesis, Louise Brunkwall, nutritionist and doctoral student at Lund University in Sweden, studied overweight, obesity and the importance of diet quality in relation to our gut microbiota.  Obesity arises when the energy intake from what we eat is greater than the energy we consume. However

Is it possible to conduct research on type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and hair loss at the same time? Absolutely, says Pontus Dunér who after many years of secrecy can now lift the lid on and talk about his promising results. The common denominator is a protein that Pontus Dunér and his colleagues have worked on intensively in recent years to modify and break down into smaller active components,

Insulin which is released by pancreatic beta-cells is the main regulator of blood sugar. Previous and current studies by a research group at Lund University in Sweden have identified around hundred different receptors on the surface of the beta-cells, with a diverse functional impact on the beta-cells. Now researchers at Lund University in collaboration with researchers at University of Sharjah, U

An international research collaboration led by researchers from the Universities of Helsinki and Oxford has identified the biological mechanism through which a genetic variant protects against type 2 diabetes. The study, published in the journal Nature Genetics, finds that changes in a gene which makes zinc transporter proteins reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by enhancing insulin secretion from

New research shows that it is possible to predict the development of type 1 diabetes. By measuring the presence of autoantibodies in the blood, it is possible to detect whether the immune system has begun to break down the bodys own insulin cells. "In the TEDDY study we have found that autoantibodies often appear during the first few years of life", said professor Åke Lernmark from Lund University

New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study showed an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes (T1D). Notably, researchers also found that early adenovirus C infection seemed to confer protection from autoimmunity. The full findings
