The time has come to celebrate four and a half months of meetings between NanoLund PhD students and their mentors. In the closing workshop, the mentees reflected on the program and what they have learnt. Under the guidance of Tina Persson from Passage2pro, they looked back at the career development plan they did at the start of the program to think about how and what they would like to change or p

When history meets present-day science fascinating things reveal themselves. In such a case, a sample of chain mail from the 15th-century Danish flagship, Gribshunden, was recently analyzed at MAX IV’s NanoMAX beamline. Researchers from Lund University want to know more about the structural and chemical makeup of the metal to give us a window into Sweden’s past, and NanoLundians Jesper Wallentin a

Clay is described as an ancient material with a great future. “The potential areas of application are huge,” says an enthusiastic Marie Skepö, professor of theoretical chemistry whom we recently welcomed as an affiliated faculty member of NanoLund. Clay is a material that has been used since ancient times for protecting, building, and carrying things. If we learn more about how to change various p

A lab where you can “craft” new materials on the atomic level, bringing together cross-disciplinary scientists to produce nanomaterials and semiconductor components. A neighborhood with major research infrastructures, complementary to each other. And most important: an open environment where academia, industry, and society can meet and collaborate, finding solutions for a sustainable world. Intrig

Inflammation researcher Ben King studies the function of two different proteins in connection with diabetes. In the future, such knowledge may be important for the development of new treatments for people with diabetes. Ben King is this year’s recipient of the Medeon Award for his innovative research. “I was very surprised and feel very honored to receive the award. In my role, I do a lot of exper

We would like to congratulate six researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre, who have been awarded research grants within medicine and health by the Swedish Research Council (VR). The six researchers are affiliated with Excellence of Diabetes Research in Sweden (EXODIAB), which is a strategic research area within diabetes at Lund University.Helena Elding Larsson, professor of autoimmune disea

An international team of researchers has investigated whether oral insulin can prevent early signs of type 1 diabetes and clinical diagnosis in children with an increased risk of developing the disease. Although treatment with oral insulin could not prevent development of diabetes-related autoantibodies, oral insulin delayed the rate of disease progression in children who developed such autoantibo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Social and economic factors have led to a dramatic rise in type 2 diabetes and obesity around the world. In a review in Science, Mark McCarthy, professor at the University of Oxford, UK, and Paul Franks, professor at Lund University, Sweden, examine the knowledge of the actual causes and the interplay between genetics

Diabetes researchers at Lund University have previously shown that people with diabetes can be stratified into five subgroups with differing disease progression. A new study by the same researchers provides increased evidence for the clinical relevance of the classification system. The researchers also present new findings of significant differences between subgroups in the development of complica

How can a tiny genetic change alter the body´s sugar balance? At Lund University, researchers have used stem cells to create two versions of the same cell – one carrying the genetic variant and one without – to see how melatonin affects insulin-producing cells and contributes to development of type 2 diabetes.

DIABETES. After more than a decade of stagnation, there is a major surge in kidney research effort. New drugs and biomarkers make it possible to detect and slow the progression of the disease earlier – something that long seemed unattainable. This will impact people with diabetes, for whom kidney damage is a serious long-term complication. “We are entering a new era. What is happening now is simil

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra
