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

Är det möjligt att en endaste biomarkör kan påvisa alla typer av sjukdomar som har med dopaminbrist i hjärnan att göra? Ja, det är vad en forskargrupp i Lund är på spåren. – Vi har sett att ett enzym i ryggvätska och i blod är en användbar markör för att identifiera alla typer av Parkinsonrelaterade sjukdomar med hög träffsäkerhet, säger Oskar Hansson som lett studien.

A new study by researchers at Lund University supports the notion that patients with type 2 diabetes should be divided into subgroups and given individualised treatment. The study demonstrates that there are distinct epigenetic differences between different groups of patients with type 2 diabetes. The epigenetic markers were also associated with different risks of developing common complications i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Is there any underlying biological explanation for why men are responsible for such a large proportion of sexual assaults compared to women? Or, from a biological point of view, could women just as easily have been the ones to commit this type of harassment and assault, if the social and historical power structure wer

Angry children can be a feature of Christmas. The fact is that the disappointment children feel is a great opportunity to train them for challenges later in life. This is according to Elia Psouni, professor of developmental psychology. A friend not turning up on time, a computer crashing in the middle of a game of Fortnite or a Christmas present that just could not be more wrong. “Disappointment i

Christmas music is more than background noise to the hustle and bustle. From Mariah Carey’s Christmas cracker ‘All I Want For Christmas’ to Wham’s lost love in ‘Last Christmas’, each song tells its own story of why it belongs to the festive season. “The power of Christmas music lies in its ability to put us in touch with our emotions, from celebration to reflection. Although we may not feel that w

"Mastery of the law gives you power. And I want to use that power to support the vulnerable" says Sofia Åkerman, doctoral student at the Department of Law with personal experience of vulnerability and self-harming behaviour.

Idag saknas evidens för många av de preventiva metoder som används för att minska förlossningsbristningar.
