Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Barn som insjuknar i diabetes före sex årsålder har en snabbare längdtillväxt de första 18 månaderna i livet. De tänkbara mekanismerna bakom är flera. - Ja, vi vet inte exakt hur detta går till men en tänkbar förklaring är att ändrade kostvanor och snabb tillväxt gör att barnen äter mer och det stressar de insulinpr

I en ny studie har ett forskarlag vid Lunds universitet kartlagt sångfåglars immunförsvar och funnit att de aktiva generna är organiserade på två mycket specifika sätt. Den nya kunskapen ger viktiga nycklar till hur vilda fåglars immunförsvar utvecklats under miljontals år. Sjukdomsalstrande patogener, bakterier och virus spelar en viktig roll för hur immunförsvar utvecklas hos både människor och

Den 29 maj är det 70 år sedan ett av världens högsta berg, Mount Everest, bestegs för allra första gången. Nu hotar smältande glaciärer inte bara turistnäringen, utan även att förändra livet för den mer än en miljard människor som är beroende av Himalaya för vatten. Det menar hållbarhetsforskaren Mine Islar. Mine Islar är universitetslektor vid Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, LU

De nya blodproven för att diagnostisera Alzheimers sjukdom ger allt bättre möjligheter till tidig diagnos, men en utmaning är att markörerna som mäts förändras långt innan symtom utvecklas. Forskning ledd från Lunds universitet visar nu att en tidigare inte använd blodmarkör kan, när den kombineras med dagens blodmarkörer, betydligt minska risken för att personer får missvisande besked om sjukdom.
