Diabetes researchers have established methods for screening people with an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Current methods require multiple blood samples during each visit. An international team of researchers has developed a simplified screening method, which will increase screening efficiency. Type 1 diabetes is a disease that requires lifelong treatment with insulin. People of all

Att anställa en barnflicka eller au pair gör föräldrarna mer jämställda, men medför nya former av ojämlikhet inom och mellan familjer. Samtidigt tvingas barnen gå igenom svåra separationer till följd av branschens kortvariga anställningar, visar en studie från sociologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet. Au pairer och barnflickor blev vanligare i svenska hem sedan avdrag för hushållsnära tjän

Mångårig diabetes, höga blodsocker och högt blodtryck – är de tre viktigaste riskfaktorerna för diabetiska ögonskador. En 73 årig kvinna i Brasilien har dem alla men hon har inte ett spår av ögonförändringar trots att hon haft typ 1 diabetes i 69 år. Hon och andra enstaka som slipper komplikationer kan ge forskarna viktiga ledtrådar att nysta i. En stor majoritet av alla diabetiker får ögonförändr

There are plans to build a new animal testing facility at Brunnshög in north-east Lund. It is a strategic decision by the Faculty of Medicine based on the need to replace the present animal facility, which is no longer optimal for breeding, and the desire aim to offer international researchers a safer research environment. LUM spoke to three of LU’s experts on animal testing matters. The animal fa

På Pufendorfinstitutet är Kulturnatten en höjdpunkt under hösten! Besökare som till vardags kanske inte kommer hit, flockas då kring utställningar, de lyssnar aktivt på populärvetenskapliga föreläsningar och trängs för att komma med på guidade visningar av vårt vackra hus i korsningen Biskopsgatan/Sölvegatan – där Kunskapsstråket börjar!

For the first time, scientists are able to describe the exact mechanism for how a common genetic variant leads to a disruption in blood lipid levels that significantly increases the risk of heart disease. The one in every three persons who carries both copies of the risk allele engages a 40 percent higher risk of suffering a heart attack than persons who do not carry either copy of the risk allele

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

Last autumn, the unique Ravensbrück Archive was opened to the general public as well as to researchers. Now requests are flooding in from all over the world to the archive in Lund, Sweden. “We are touched by the response”, says Håkan Håkansson at the University Library.

Både Tony Ingesson och David Gisselsson Nord älskar spionromaner och är nördigt intresserade av historia. Deras gemensamma nyfikenhet resulterade i ett tvärvetenskapligt samarbete om hur man med hjälp av metoder från spionage och underrättelseanalys kan inspirera till smartare behandling av cancer. Tony Ingesson har ganska lätt för att visa lite attityd när han ställer sig framför kameran. David G

Forskare publicerar nya rön om validerade biomarkörer för individens risk att utveckla Alzheimers sjukdom. Med en modell som kombinerar nivåerna av två specifika proteiner i blodet hos personer med lättare minnessvårigheter kan forskarna förutsäga risken att utveckla alzheimerdemens på individnivå. Forskarna har även utvecklat en onlinetjänst, en app där läkaren skriver in patientens undersöknings

“Of course there’s a bit of apprehension, just like when two people move in together. This is five families who have moved into the same building. We don’t know each other and our daily routines yet. We’ll have to find out as we go along”, said Therese Whass, a student at the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies about how it feels to move into LUX.

Clearcutting is often considered negative for biodiversity, which is why continuous cover forestry is seen as a more favourable alternative. But could it be that clearcutting - with proper management from a landscape perspective - could favour certain species? Recently, it has become increasingly common to find birds and butterflies on clearcuts, species that normally thrive in areas such as hayfi

In recent years, ‘ecosystem services’ has become an increasingly common concept within the research community, as well as in municipalities, public authorities and industry. In simple terms, ecosystem services can be described as the benefits humans gain from nature’s ecosystems, for example regarding the food we eat, the air we breathe, purification of the water we drink, the bioenergy we use to

Hur påverkas föräldrar och barn av att delta i screeningstudier för typ 1-diabetes? Det är en fråga som doktoranden Jessica Melin har undersökt i en doktorsavhandling som läggs fram vid Lunds universitet. Resultaten kan användas för att identifiera de familjer som behöver rätt stöd för att minska deras oro och öka deras nöjdhet med sitt deltagande. Forskare vid Lunds universitets diabetescentrum (
