Schistosoma, en illa sedd inälvsmask som plågat människan i hundratusentals år har kanske samtidigt skyddat oss mot typ 1 diabetes. Engelska forskare, som lyckats förebygga diabetes hos möss med extrakt av schistosoma, ger ny näring åt hygienhypotesen. Schistosoma är en sugmask som under flera decennier kan leva och föröka sig i människans mag-tarmkanal eller blodkärl. Masken orsakar sjukdomen snä

En stor svensk tvillingstudie visar att den som insjuknar i diabetes före 65 års ålder löper avsevärt större risk att drabbas av vaskulär demens eller Alzheimers sjukdom. Forskargrupper vid Karolinska institutet i Stockholm, universitetet i Göteborg och University of California i Los Angeles har analyserat data från en stora svensk tvillingstudie för att undersöka sambandet mellan diabetes och ris

En gemensam inflammationsfaktor tycks ligga bakom den fortgående förstörelsen av insulinproducerande betaceller vid såväl typ 1 som vid typ 2 diabetes. Upptäckten kan bana väg för behandling som hejdar eller bromsar förloppet. I de insulinbildande betacellerna från diabetespatienter finns det mer än 30 gånger mer av en inflammationsfaktor, CXCL10, jämfört med hos icke-diabetiker. Förekomsten av de

GAD-vaccinet, som tros hejda nedbrytningen av de insulinbildande betacellerna, ska nu prövas tillsammans med läkemedel som tros stimulera tillväxt av nya betaceller. Vuxna typ 1 diabetiker ska testa kombinationen. - Vi är mycket entusiastiska över denna studie som ska undersöka om kombinationen förmår kan förbättra behandlingen av typ 1-diabetes", säger professor David Harlan i ett pressmeddelande

Tidigare studier har visat att högt blodsocker leder till åderförkalkning, vilket i sin tur leder till hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. Vanlig kanel har visat sig sänka blodsockret. Kan det vara en lösning? Försämrade matvanor runt om i världen leder till en ökning av kroniska sjukdomar som typ 2-diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. I dagens välfärdsländer är typ 2-diabetes, övervikt och hjärt-kärlsjukdomar ett

Med upptäckten av de nya riskgenerna för hjärtinfarkt är nu nio varianter kända. Att ärftligheten har stor betydelse för hjärtinfarkt är en gammal iakttagelse men kartläggningen av riskgener går ett steg vidare. De lägger grunden för en ökad förståelse för de grundläggande mekanismerna bakom och detta i sin tur banar väg för effektivare behandlingar. - Styrkan hos de här nio kända genvarianterna ä

In 2019, the University established a project for open science. The project has resulted in a report and now it is up to us at the University to discuss how to move forward with the proposals. The project’s goal was, among other things, to “investigate different options for how LU could structure its work on open science.” How we approach open science depends primarily on what we want to achieve,

This autumn, LU Estates and Akademiska Hus will measure how much certain premises rented by the University are actually used. The measurements will be conducted by sensors placed at the entrances and exits to some offices and in lecture halls. The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the need for premises.
