Smokers have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, but a higher risk of dying from the disease, according to a large population study led by Lund University in Sweden. The researchers followed more than 350 000 people over several decades, and the results are now published in European Urology. It is well known that smokers have an increased risk of developing various cancers, but there have

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Research groups in close collaboration in Malmö have shed light on the pathway whereby a common genetic risk variant leads to impaired mitochondrial function of insulin cells. The variant in question impairs the capacity to secrete insulin and increases the risk of developing diabetes. The discovery is published in th

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Torbjörn von Schantz tycker att han kommit en bra bit på vägen till ett enat universitet. I sin ledningsgrupp möter han nu mer av gemensamt ansvarstagande och mindre av stuprörstänkande och särintressen. Det han saknat mest under sina rektorsår är närheten till verksamheten i övrigt. – Jag gillar att snacka med folk
