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

In order to be able to prescribe the appropriate dose of physical activity to patients, healthcare professionals need to consider a range of individual factors. There is a need to facilitate the assessment of aerobic capacity i. e. maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max), as well as to calculate the intensity of training according to the WHO recommendations for physical activity. Now, researchers

The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration research group is made up of about 15 researchers focusing on chronic lung disease. The group’s work includes the development of different methods to study disease models for conditions such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. One of the researchers, John Stegmayr, has been awarded SEK 700,000 from the Carl Tesdorpf Foundation to expand research into idiopathic

Is it possible that a tiny pollen dredged up from a European lake can hold answers about both our past and our future? Researchers at Lund University use pollen as old as 12 000 years to predict our future climate, and to study ecological and historical change. Researchers Esther Githumbi and Johan Lindström use pollen from the ice age to the present to inform vegetation models and find crucial an

Antibodies are the body's superheroes, recognizing and eliminating disease-causing substances. By combining parts from antibodies, researchers at Lund University have designed a hybrid antibody that better stimulates the immune system against both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and streptococcal bacteria. Antibodies can be likened to keys, with antigens as the corresponding locks. Each antibody is uniquely

Gases used in anaesthesia are potent greenhouse gases, and their total global impact has not previously been known. A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows that greenhouse gas emissions from anaesthetic gases have decreased by 27% over the last ten years. By swapping out the anaesthetic gas with the highest climate impact, the climate impact of anaesthetic gas

Perhaps not, argues Yulia Vakulenko. At least not when it comes to the delivery service needs and preferences of rural versus urban e-consumers in the age of consumer-centric supply chain management. The new age of consumer-centric supply chain management highlights the benefits of placing the consumer at the core of strategy development and operations design. Recent e-commerce shifts translate in

The increasing demand of minerals, oil, and agricultural goods have severe negative social and environmental impacts. The extraction of resources leads to land dispossession of small-scale farmers and indigenous communities. It also generates social and political conflicts at the local level. For decades large scale agri-food production and mineral extraction have caused severe social and environm

A warmer world affects health, jobs, migration and welfare. We can no longer talk about the climate as a separate issue, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd. – Climate change has long been seen as something separate from society. People often talk about negative effects on our natural environment rather than how a changed climate may affect our everyday lives. This means that many people, per
