Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

Researchers from Lund University, led by Dr. Laurent Roybon, are working to further define underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy. Their latest discovery, published in PNAS, could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as these, as well as other synucleiopathies in the fu

Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer. Genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) is an emerging approach for disease treatment. Around 30 Swedish researchers suggest a direction forward in a review article in Journal of Internal Medicine (JIM). "At the moment newborns are screened for a small number of mutations. In the

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study showed an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes (T1D). Notably, researchers also found that early adenovi

Dense urban areas amplify the effects of higher temperatures, due to the phenomenon of heat islands in cities. This makes cities more vulnerable to extreme climate events. Large investments in the electricity network will be necessary to cool us down during heatwaves and keep us warm during cold snaps, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. “Unless we account for extreme climat

Earlier this fall, the Swedish Cancer Foundation (Cancerfonden) distributed 133 million SEK to 41 cancer researchers at Lund University. Nearly a quarter of this - 28 million SEK - has been awarded to 11 researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center, funding translational research which seeks to advance cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Isabella Artner, Associate Professor, is among the 11 res

For two decades, researchers at Lund University's strategic research area, Lund Stem Cell Center, have focused on developing and refining stem cell research to improve human health. Now that the 20th anniversary is approaching, it is time to reflect on the progress made and the possibilities that researchers see for stem cell research in the future. Stem cells can make any inventor green with envy

Precision medicine aims to deliver the right treatment to the right person at the right time. What does this mean for people with type 2 diabetes? Some of the research at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) focuses on the progression of type 2 diabetes to help develop more targeted treatments. Epigenetics can become a useful tool when diabetes care is tailored to the individual. People with typ

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Oktawia Nilsson's doctoral thesis describes Apolipoprotein A-I (shortly named ApoA-I), the main protein of HDL also known as “the good” cholesterol. Based on the experiments performed in the scientific papers included in this thesis, we propose that ApoA-I can be used as a promising treatment for diabetes and cardiova

Missiologist Mika Vähäkangas thinks that Scandinavians can be a little self-righteous. He says that he has become who he is in great part thanks to his research in Africa – there he learnt what he knows about compassion.  Over nearly thirty years, he first carried out missionary work and then research, teaching and fieldwork in Africa on African Christianity.    "It has always been Africa.
