Att äta ost och grädde med hög fetthalt kan ha ett samband med en lägre risk för att utveckla demens. Det visar en ny stor studie vid Lunds universitet. Forskarna analyserade kostvanor hos drygt 27 000 personer och kopplade dessa till förekomsten av demens under en uppföljningstid på upp till 25 år. Debatten om fettsnåla dieter har länge format våra hälsoråd och påverkat hur vi ser på mat och häls

Forskning vid Lunds universitet visar att de biologiska föräldrarnas gener påverkar barnets insulinfunktion samt förmågor att reglera blodsockernivåer och blodfetter på olika sätt. Med hjälp av sådan kunskap kan det bli möjligt att utveckla förebyggande behandlingar som minskar barnets risk att utveckla typ 2-diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Tidigare forskning av diabetesforskaren Rashmi Prasad har

Genom att skapa ett konstgjort åldrande hos möss, har lundaforskare kunnat följa hur aneurysm – pulsåderbråck – utvecklas i blodkärlens väggar. Ett resultat i studien, som nu publicerats i Journal of Biological Chemistry, överraskade forskarna: mössen skyddades samtidigt mot högt blodtryck genom att en annan signalväg aktiverades i kärlväggens celler - och kompenserade för belastningen i de åldran

Årets mottagare av Leif C. Groop-priset kartlägger mekanismer i fettväven, vilket har ökat förståelsen kring varför vissa med fetma får typ 2-diabetes. Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm vid Sahlgrenska akademin, Göteborgs universitet, är forskaren som blir sporrad att hitta nya svar när iakttagelserna i labbet inte stämmer överens med gängse uppfattningar.

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that usually requires lifelong treatment. A central goal for many diabetes researchers is to develop new cell therapies that can cure the disease. The Bo and Kerstin Hjelt Diabetes Foundation provides support to two diabetes researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre who contribute with new knowledge to this research field. Type 1 diabetes is a condition wh

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r

An increasing number of Swedes are getting tattoos and Sweden’s population is now one of the most tattooed in Europe. At the same time, the incidence of melanoma is increasing. A new epidemiological study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for melanoma.

A blood biomarker yet to be used in cardiac arrest care can give a clearer picture of the extent of brain damage after a cardiac arrest. This has been shown in a large international multicentre study led by researchers at Lund University that has been published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.

Torbjörn von Schantz finds that he has made good progress on the road to a united University. In his management group, he now sees more of a shared assumption of responsibility and less of a silo mentality and special interests. What he has missed most during his years as vice-chancellor is proximity to the rest of the organisation. "I like talking to people", he says. After forty years in academi

"Now I dare to rejoice a little", says Sven Lidin, dean of the Faculty of Science. "The uphill task that establishment in Brunnshög had become at times is now much easier, as the whole Department of Chemistry has agreed to join in the move." Another person breathing a sigh of relief is Leif Bülow, who is in his fourth year as head of the department. These years have been marked by extensive discus
