“My stay here has not only given me practical access to sources and libraries. Being in a different academic environment has also given me new ideas and perspectives on what we do in Lund.” These are the words of historian Marie Cronqvist, who moved to Berlin with her husband and children last summer. Now it will soon be time to go home, but before that LUM had time to meet them and find out about

Genom molekylära studier av knävävnader och avancerad bildtagningsteknik med synkrotronljus hoppas forskare kunna ta fram ny kunskap om tidig artrosutveckling. Förhoppningen är att bana väg för nya behandlingar. I snart fem år har forskare i Lund samlat in knävävnad från över 700 personer i en biobank. Med stöd av Rättsmedicinalverket, Vävnadsbanken i Lund samt ortopediska klinikens operationsverk

De nya utgrävningarna i Uppåkra går i bräschen för tekniker inom arkeologin. Nu används inte bara glasskärvor och benknotor - idag är det jorden som är i fokus. Och kanske får vi svaret på om den justinianska pesten, alltså föregångaren till digerdöden, fanns i Uppåkra. Något som hittills varit okänt. På en höjd strax utanför Lund står Torbjörn Ahlström, professor i historisk osteologi vid Lunds u

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

The Pereira research group has previously shown that it is possible to reprogram human skin cells into dendritic cells that strengthen the immune system. However, the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells has been shown to be very low. New studies now indicate that there are ways to increase the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells by over 75%. These findings provide mechanistic insights into h

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Autoantikroppar som föregår typ 1 diabetes går att mäta när som helst i livet. Genom att titta på antalet antikroppar, vilka de är och i hur höga nivåer de finns, kan man tillsammans med den genetiska profilen göra en bedömning av risken för en individ att insjukna i typ 1 diabetes. Här skriver Cecilia Andersson, fo

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence
