An interdisciplinary team in medicine and technology took the help of LU innovation to concretize and commercialize their idea for better stroke diagnostics. "Talk about your idea already when you are at an early stage of the process, because if you then publish the results, it may be too late to get help", advises one of the award winners, the faculty's Isabel Gonçalves. Together, the researchers

Using the CRISPR/Cas9 “gene scissors” researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have managed to “turn off” an enzyme that proved to play a key role in the regulation of the diabetes-associated TXNIP gene. The results are decreased cell death and increased insulin production in the genetically modified pancreatic beta cells. In a recent study, researchers have conducted an investigat

Indian women are younger and leaner than Swedish women when they develop gestational diabetes, a new study from Lund University Diabetes Centre shows. The researchers also found a gene that increases the risk of gestational diabetes in Swedish women, but which, on the contrary, turned out to have a protective effect in Indian women.
