Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

Vid typ 2-diabetes har kroppen försämrad förmåga att frisätta insulin och det leder till för höga nivåer av blodsocker. Forskning ledd från Lunds universitet visar nu hur nivåerna av ett särskilt protein är förhöjda i bukspottkörteln hos personer med typ 2-diabetes. Genom att slå ut genen för proteinet IGFBP7 upptäckte forskarna att insulinutsöndringen förbättrades. Nedsatt insulinutsöndring leder

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Över hela världen pågår nu intensiv forskning om covid-19. Bara under första veckan i maj i år publicerades 4 000 vetenskapliga artiklar om sjukdomen – en mängd som gör det svårt för vårdpersonal, beslutsfattare och forskare att hålla sig uppdaterad. Sonja Aits och hennes forskargrupp utvecklar nu textanalysverktyg

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Brittiska forskare har studerat vilken viktnedgång som krävs för personer med ett förstadium till typ 2 diabetes och övervikt ska kraftig minska sin framtida risk för att insjukna i typ 2 diabetes. Enligt den stora studien räcker det med två till tre kilo. I Norfolk Diabetes Prevention Study, den största studien för

Trots stor och bestående viktnedgång minskar inte den psykiska ohälsan bland unga som gjort kirurgiska ingrepp mot övervikt. Däremot ökar fetmaoperationer risken för tidiga alkoholproblem. Det visar världens största långtidsstudie som gjorts bland unga som genomgått viktkirurgi. Studien är gjord vid bland annat Lunds universitet och Karolinska Institutet.

Breath-holding spells are common in young children and are benign. Yet children often undergo unnecessary diagnostic interventions when seeking medical care. This is because there are no national or international guidelines on how to assess children in these cases.

Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p

In a unique study carried out in drinking water pipes in Sweden, researchers from Lund University and the local water company tested what would happen if chlorine was omitted from drinking water. The result? An increase in bacteria, of course, but after a while something surprising happened: a harmless predatory bacteria grew in numbers and ate most of the other bacteria. The study suggests that c

With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year as a result of warmer climate and changing agricultural landscape, new research shows. – The risk is that we will lose additional bumblebee species and have reduced pollination of crops and wild plants, says researcher Maria Blasi Rome

The virus winter season has struck – and COVID-19 is still part of everyday life. However, unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how it spreads through the air we breathe. Research from Lund University in Sweden shows that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers mapped the infectiousness of the virus in some forty
