Forskare vid Sahlgrenska akademin har identifierat ett särskilt enzym som verkar vara betydelsefullt för utvecklingen av insulinresistens och diabetes typ 2. Upptäckten kan vara ett viktigt steg mot en ny behandling. Omkring 300 000 svenskar har typ 2 diabetes, som är en kronisk ämnesomsättningssjukdom där grundproblemet är att kroppen bildar otillräckligt med insulin eller att insulinet inte har

Patienter med frontotemporal demens saknar ofta förmågan till empati. En studie vid Lunds universitet och Karolinska Institutet kan nu visa att de här patienterna inte visar samma aktivitet i hjärnan som friska individer när de bevittnar andras smärta, en kunskap som man hoppas ska öka förståelsen för den här specifika demenssjukdomen. – Det är en viktig pusselbit som nu faller på plats när vi kan

Personal inom primärvården behöver bli bättre på rådgivning om kost och motion till de patienter som både har ett rörelsehinder och är överviktiga. Ett närmare samarbete med habiliteringen skulle kunna bidra med ökade kunskaper från ett funktionshinderperspektiv. – Primärvården i Sverige har ett ansvar att arbeta både förebyggande och behandlande när det gäller övervikt och fetma och att detta fun

Det verkar finnas en inbyggd badrumsvåg i våra kroppar. Forskare vid Sahlgrenska akademin har upptäckt ett kroppseget system för viktkontroll som registrerar kroppsvikten via benen. När vi sitter ner slår systemet fel, tror forskarna. – Det vi upptäckt är potentiellt ett helt nytt system för reglering av fettmassa. Vi hoppas att upptäckten kan leda till en ny inriktning för forskningen om fetma. F

New business models and commercial opportunities in lighting:What stops LEDs from hitting the market? Energy efficient lighting as in LED is an essential technique in a sustainable society. In Sweden, LED is becoming affordable and has a limitless performance. Yet it is still hardly used in schools, hospitals and public areas. Why?

How did we end up here? What do we do to get out of it? In climate research, it is important to understand how the world works if we are to change our behaviour and prevent future catastrophes. Researchers use mathematical formulas to try and visualise reality, in order to find out what changes we need to make. “We build models in an attempt to represent nature’s behaviour using mathematical equat

A warmer global climate can cause mutations to have more severe consequences for the health of organisms through their detrimental effect on protein function. This may have major repercussions for an organisms’ ability to adapt to, and survive in, the altered habitats of the future. This is shown in a new research study now published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Na

In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden
