Inom diabetesforskningen screenas personer som är i riskzonen för att utveckla typ 1-diabetes. Dagens metod innebär att det tas flera blodprov vid varje besök. Ett internationellt forskarlag har nu upptäckt att det går att följa upp risken för sjukdom med ett enkelt stick i fingret. Både barn och vuxna kan få typ 1-diabetes, som kräver behandling med insulin hela livet. Symtomen kan utvecklas unde

Det finns likheter mellan jazzmusik och blodsockerreglerande hormoner – om rytmen kommer i otakt går effekten förlorad. Anders Tengholm spelar jazz på fritiden och arbetar i sin forskning med att förstå hur de blodsockerreglerande hormonerna insulin och glukagon utsöndras. Den insulinproducerande betacellen och den glukagonproducerande alfacellen är två av de hormonfrisättande celltyperna som är s

Lund University was first in the world to use the Cochrane Interactive Learning modules with all medical students, and first in the world to freely provide Cochrane tools for conducting systematic reviews. This has come to be known internationally as the "Lund model" and is a close collaboration between Cochrane Sweden and the Library & ICT department at our faculty. “Both in Sweden and abroad, Co

Over the past 50 years, the water in lakes and watercourses has turned increasingly brown. The so-called browning has a negative impact on both drinking water production and ecosystems. If nothing is done, the water is likely to turn even browner – however, there is hope. Supported by a new study, researchers from Lund University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences are pointing to

Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi

One of the biggest perks of teaching at university? Supervising students and seeing them grow into their role. That is at least according to senior lecturers Olof Hallonsten and Anna Jonsson. Detectives with magnifying glasses and catching and preparing a fish.

International text theft is difficult to deal with, especially for individual researchers. The University should take the lead, and find out how plagiarism issues are dealt with in different countries and what authorities exist there. So says Haro de Grauw, the doctoral student ombudsman. “The University could have such a resource, and gather knowledge on how such issues are handled in different c

Long life is common among bird parents that get help with childcare. This finding comes from researchers at the universities of Lund and Oxford who reviewed data from more than 9,000 studies. Being a parent can be tough. In general, animals that care for many offspring die young, at least in species where parents are not helped by others. However, in some species things are different and parents r
