Barn som haft autoantikroppar innan de insjuknat i typ 1-diabetes har också haft en obalans i tarmfloran, visar tidigare forskning. I en ny studie ska forskare vid Lunds universitet och Region Skåne inom ramen för ett europeiskt forskarnätverk undersöka om probiotika från tidig födsel kan förhindra utvecklingen av typ 1-diabetes hos barn med ökad genetisk risk. – Hypotesen är att probiotika ska fr

Trots skärpta straff och ökade resurser till rättsväsendet visar forskningen inga tecken på att detta leder till minskad kriminalitet. – Vi vill problematisera att straff skulle vara det bästa alternativet, säger Tova Bennet, straffrättsforskare vid Lunds universitet. De senaste femton åren har hårdare straff blivit ett populärt verktyg i den svenska kriminalpolitiken. Det är alltså inte endast un

When we cough and speak we launch droplets and if the person launching these droplets is sick from some kind of virus disease, such as COVID19, the droplets can contain viruses. These viruses have been found to be one of the main contributors to the spreading of the pandemic disease. If we can further understand where these droplets end up we can make more effective protective measures during a pa
