This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

Den muslimska fastemånaden ramadan pågår under april och ett par dagar in i maj. Det är en månad då troende vuxna muslimer ska fasta från det att solen går upp på morgonen tills den går ned på kvällen. Insulinbehandlade diabetiker blir avrådda från att fasta, men många gör det i alla fall. Vad får det för konsekvenser? För två år sedan undersökte en forskargrupp från Mellanöstern, Nordafrika och l

Blodpropp i ben eller lunga är en av våra vanligaste kärlsjukdomar och beror till 50 procent på ärftliga orsaker. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet utgått från registerstudier och undersökt familjer med sjukdomen hereditärt angioödem, HAE. De fann en ny ärftlig mekanism som ökar risken för blodproppar i ben och lungor hos individer med HAE. Studien, som publiceras i tidskriften Blood, v

Idag är Alzheimers sjukdom den vanligaste dödsorsaken för personer med Downs syndrom. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har därför, i samarbete med Alzheimer’s Biomarker Consortium – Down Syndrome i USA, undersökt biomarkörer i blodplasman hos denna grupp. Dessa markörer kan hjälpa till att förutsäga framtida förändringar i hjärnan och kognitiv nedsättning vid Alzheimers sjukdom, för personer med Dow

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University, have discovered that a population of B cells formed shortly after birth store long-term immune memory and, in mice, can give rise to leukemia much later in life. Published in Cell Reports, the findings reveal how immune events at the very beginning of life can leave lasting biological imprints, linking early development to disease in old a

Lund Stem Cell Center provides researchers with access to core facilities equipped with the latest technologies, specialist expertise and instruction on the use of the different equipment. Over time these facilities have evolved to form the well-developed technological infrastructure which exists today. Earlier this year, the Center, in partnership with MultiPark, took the next step in the evoluti

A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the

For the first time, researchers have linked specific frequent defects in sperm to risk of pregnancy complications and negative impacts on the health of the baby. The study from Lund University in Sweden shows that high proportion of father’s spermatozoa possessing DNA strand breaks is associated with doubled risk of preeclampsia in women who have become pregnant by IVF. It also increases the risk

By reprogramming tumour cells to become the body’s defenders, Filipe Pereira and his colleagues hope to improve current cancer treatments. Right now, some of the immune system’s most important players, the dendritic cells, are patrolling your body in search of foreign substances. If they find something suspicious, they break it down into smaller pieces, called antigens, which are presented to the

EAT-Lancet-kosten är en modell för hur det globala livsmedelssystemet ska förhålla sig till planetens begränsningar samtidigt som folksjukdomar som typ 2-diabetes kan förebyggas. Men hur ska vi veta om dieten verkligen fungerar? Genom att studera sju kostindex har ett internationellt forskarlag funnit att två av dem är särskilt bra på att utvärdera följsamhet till kosten. Välfungerande kostindex b

Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även

Digitala trygghetslarm, medicinrobotar och digitala lås är vanliga lösningar på äldreomsorgens växande resursutmaningar. Men hur upplever användarna själva tekniken de får i sina hem? En ny avhandling från Samantha Svärdh, doktorand i forskargruppen Tillämpad Gerontologi vid Lunds universitet, visar att välfärdsteknik framför allt bidrar till deras trygghet.
