En stor internationell studie visar att typ 1-diabetes utvecklar sig på tre olika sätt hos barn. Forskare vid Lunds universitets diabetescentrum har bidragit med data från en uppföljningsstudie i Skåne. Den långsiktiga målsättningen med studien i Nature Communications är att utveckla en större förståelse för hur sjukdomen uppstår för att sätta in förebyggande åtgärder. – Studien ökar vår förståels

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har i en internationell studie identifierat en genvariant som styr kroppens förmåga att bilda nya blodkärl i musklerna – en mekanism som påverkar både fysisk prestation, hälsa och återhämtning. Den gynnsamma genvarianten är betydligt vanligare hos elitidrottare i uthållighetsidrotter, jämfört både med elitutövare i explosiva sporter och icke-idrottare. Kapillärer är
