Newly discovered drug candidate increases insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes
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

My aerobic capacity – RPC
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

Focusing on chronic lung disease
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

Deep diving into history
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. It was 17 December 1944. The American B-24 bomber aircraft, better known as the Tulsamerican, was circling the island of Vis off the coast of Croatia. The plane was damaged following an attack by the Germans and finally crashed into the sea. Seven of the ten crew members survived but three died, among them the pilot,

Who are you at work?
Who are you – a separator or an integrator? Mobiles and laptops have created a working life where it is possible to work anytime and anywhere. In a major study, work environment researchers have identified how seven different personality types set boundaries – or not – between work and free time. "Everyone has their own standard which they think is right. However, there are often different views i

“Recipe book” for reprogramming immune cells
In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination – the recipe – for each type of immune cell. Our immune system c

The recipe for a great antibody
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

Reduced climate impact of anaesthetic gases – but a worrying trend in middle-income countries
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

Comic strips and metaphors help students to reflect
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. Those are two of the metaphors that Anna Jonsson and Olof Hallonsten use to explain the relationship between supervisor and student, the v
