This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear to researchers that the protein galectin-3 is involved in inflammatory diseases in the brain. A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden now shows the de facto key role played by the protein in Alzheimer’s disease. When the researchers shut off the gene th

Barn som haft autoantikroppar innan de insjuknat i typ 1-diabetes har också haft en obalans i tarmfloran, visar tidigare forskning. I en ny studie ska forskare vid Lunds universitet och Region Skåne inom ramen för ett europeiskt forskarnätverk undersöka om probiotika från tidig födsel kan förhindra utvecklingen av typ 1-diabetes hos barn med ökad genetisk risk. – Hypotesen är att probiotika ska fr

Ett internationellt forskarlag som har letts från Lunds universitet, har identifierat epigenetiska biomarkörer som kan förutsäga vilka personer med typ 2-diabetes som riskerar att få hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. Studien publiceras nu i Cell Reports Medicine. Personer med typ 2-diabetes har upp till fyra gånger högre risk att få hjärtinfarkt, stroke, kärlkramp och andra kranskärlssjukdomar än friska person

I en ny studie har en grupp geologer gått till botten med 300 års samlad forskning kring de ikoniska fisködlorna. Med utgångspunkt i ett unikt välbevarat fossil har forskarlaget dessutom skapat den förmodligen mest vetenskapligt korrekta rekonstruktionen av en fisködla som världen hittills skådat. Fisködlor, eller ichtyosaurier, var en mycket framgångsrik djurgrupp som i likhet med dagens valar ha
