Forskare vid Lunds universitet har i en internationell studie identifierat en genvariant som styr kroppens förmåga att bilda nya blodkärl i musklerna – en mekanism som påverkar både fysisk prestation, hälsa och återhämtning. Den gynnsamma genvarianten är betydligt vanligare hos elitidrottare i uthållighetsidrotter, jämfört både med elitutövare i explosiva sporter och icke-idrottare. Studien i kort

(DIABETES) After more than a decade of stagnation, there is a major surge in kidney research effort. New drugs and biomarkers make it possible to detect and slow the progression of the disease earlier – something that long seemed unattainable. This will impact people with diabetes, for whom kidney damage is a serious long-term complication. “We are entering a new era. What is happening now is simi

Är det möjligt att en endaste biomarkör kan påvisa alla typer av sjukdomar som har med dopaminbrist i hjärnan att göra? Ja, det är vad en forskargrupp i Lund är på spåren. – Vi har sett att ett enzym i ryggvätska och i blod är en användbar markör för att identifiera alla typer av Parkinsonrelaterade sjukdomar med hög träffsäkerhet, säger Oskar Hansson som lett studien.

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Man vet numera att inte alla cancerceller är lika aggressiva – de flesta går att oskadliggöra med strålning och cellgifter. Somliga kan dock lyckas överleva, och senare få tumören att tillväxa och sprida sig. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu funnit att vissa cancerceller kan samla på sig fettdroppar, som verkar

The boundaries between biology and technology are becoming blurred. Researchers at Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg universities in Sweden have successfully grown electrodes in living tissue using the body’s molecules as triggers. The result, published in the journal Science, paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in living organisms. This news was initially publish
