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

Tio procent av alla barn som föds i Sverige har en förhöjd ärftlig risk att drabbas av autoimmun diabetes, typ 1-diabetes. Men vad påverkar om sjukdomen utvecklas eller inte? Tusentals skånska barn och deras föräldrar har i flera studier bidragit till att forskarna kommit närmare svaren. Av de cirka 5 000 barn som föds per år i landet med en förhöjd risk att utveckla typ 1-diabetes kommer runt 350

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people
