Många personer med cystisk fibros insjuknar vid ung ålder i diabetes. Varför har hittills till stora delar varit okänt men nu har forskare vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum och Karolinska institutet kartlagt en molekylär mekanism som bidrar till den förhöjda diabetesrisken. - Den ökade risken för diabetes har tidigare förklarats med att sjukdomen cystisk fibros i sig leder till skador på buks

Japanska vaktlar som utsätts för värmeböljor som kycklingar är bättre rustade att hantera extremvärme när de blivit vuxna än vaktlar som växer upp i kyla. Men det finns ett tak för hur värmetoleranta de små hönsfåglarna kan bli. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. I takt med att klimatet blir varmare och mer oförutsägbart måste fåglar och andra varmblodiga djur anpassa sig. Det sker exe

Flera gener som ökar risken för övervikt och fetma är redan kända men nu rapporterar en holländsk forskargrupp att de funnit en smal-gen, en genetisk variant som minskar risken. Ämnet reservatol, som finns bland annat i rött vin, aktiverar smal-genen, åtminstone hos möss. Att genen SIRT1 tilldrar sig allt större intresse från forskarna har flera orsaker. Den har bevarats under miljoner år och finn

Ett nytt större EU-finansierat forskningsprojekt ska undersöka arbetsvillkoren för så kallade ”care workers”. Projektet CARE4CARE ska undersöka arbetsvillkoren för "care workers", vilket omfattar ett urval av arbetstagare i vård och omsorg som sjuksköterskor och undersköterskor, och hur dessa arbetstagare själva ser på sin arbetssituation. Projektet ska också resultera i förslag på hur man kan frä

Narcissism, psychopathy and machiavellianism are personality traits that often lead to major social problems in the workplace. Magnus Lindén has researched “the dark triad” – dark personality traits that can nevertheless lead to success and management positions. Illustration: Catrin Jakobsson “People with dark traits often cause major relationship problems in the workplace. It’s arsehole-like beha

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

LUCSUS researchers are participating in this year’s United Nations Climate Change conference, COP30, in Belém, Brazil. Three ongoing research areas at LUCSUS will be highlighted at side events at the COP: immobility in climate adaptation, environmental human right defenders in the Amazon and inner-outer transformation for climate action. The associated projects: ITACHA (Immobility in a Changing Cl

B cells and the antibodies they produce play an important role in our immune system, protecting us from the microscopic enemies that make us ill. Uncovering how they form and are ‘programmed’ during development is key to better understanding the immune response to infections and vaccinations.

Nearly four in ten female upper secondary school students suffer from iron deficiency. Among vegetarians and vegans, seven in ten have low iron levels, according to a new study led by Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff. The research has received considerable attention in the press, radio and television. "We were surprised by the results," says Anna Stubbendorff. The past two weeks have been

The number of cases of disease caused by Leishmania, a parasite that is spread via bites by sand flies which are mainly found in tropical and subtropical areas and in countries around the Mediterranean, has increased in Sweden. The most serious form of the disease usually leads to death if untreated. First published: 2019-05-06“This disease is still very rare in Sweden but the number of cases has

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r
