A large international study has identified three different pathways towards type 1 diabetes in children. Researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre have contributed with data from a prospective study in southern Sweden. An important objective with the study published in Nature Communications is to gain a better understanding of how the disease develops to be able to take preventive measures. “

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

Obesity and excess weight increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but individuals of normal weight can also develop the disease. Researchers at Lund University have discovered that it is possible to identify at-risk individuals by measuring BMI in a new way. The authors of the study have identified metabolic alterations associated with obesity that can increase the risk of developing type

A new study by researchers at Lund University supports the notion that patients with type 2 diabetes should be divided into subgroups and given individualised treatment. The study demonstrates that there are distinct epigenetic differences between different groups of patients with type 2 diabetes. The epigenetic markers were also associated with different risks of developing common complications i

Epigenetics has become an important tool for researchers endeavoring to understand the causes and development stages of type 2 diabetes. In the future, epigenetic biomarkers could be used to predict type 2 diabetes and individualise its treatment. Diabetes and epigenetics researchers at Lund University summarise some of the most important advancements in a review article published in Nature Review

Insulin secretion into the bloodstream requires a protein called CD59. New research led by Lund University shows that the two protein variants that are responsible for this function of CD59 are affected in diabetes. The study has been recently published in PNAS. Insulin affects many bodily functions, and is required for survival. It causes cells to take up glucose from the blood, storage of energy

Why do some people develop type 1 diabetes and others do not? Worldwide, researchers are now collaborating to find the answer to this complex question. Diabetes researchers at Lund University recently contributed data to a new study that shows that type 1 diabetes develops in three different ways in children. This improved understanding makes it possible for scientists to conduct new types of stud

Three researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) have each been awarded a project grant of 47,500 euro by the Hjelt Diabetes Foundation. The aim of all three projects is to improve our understanding of diabetes and ultimately enable better treatments of type 2 diabetes and its complications. One of the three projects uses advanced technology to learn more about the mechanisms behind dia

Impaired insulin secretion is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, but the process is not yet fully understood. A new study by researchers at Lund University shows that the Piezo1 ion channel regulates insulin secretion, which means it may be an important target for new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes often occurs because the pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce enough effective in

A large-scale faeces and blood sample study indicates strong associations between gut bacteria and metabolites in the blood. Among other findings, the research team behind the study has identified new associations between a common type 2 diabetes drug and the gut microbiome. The study was led by researchers at Uppsala University and Lund University. The role of the gut microbiome in disease and he

How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th
