This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a tumour, cancer cells grow and multiply in an uncontrolled manner. However, the cancer cells also need help from other, normal cells for the tumour to develop. This network of ‘helper cells’ is the focus of Kristian Pietras’ research. Two years ago, Kristian Pietras left Karolinska Institutet for Lund, attracted b

Researchers have identified 395 genes that are differently expressed in people with type 2 diabetes. One of the genes proved to be very strongly associated with impaired insulin secretion. Now, researchers want to investigate if it is possible to use the genetic CRISPR/Cas9 scissors to correct the gene’s activity. The research team’s scientific paper was published in the Journal of Clinical Invest

Meningitis is a very serious brain infection with limited treatment options. In a new study performed in rats, researchers from the University of Copenhagen present an alternative treatment based on immune cells that helps rinse away toxins that accumulate during the infection.

When used as a diagnostic aid, artificial intelligence (AI) can help physicians save time and make more accurate diagnoses. However, physicians should also understand and be able to explain the computer’s decision to the patient to avoid jeopardising trust, says AI researcher Stefan Larsson. AI also puts us at a crossroads: do we want to reflect the world or change it? Stefan Larsson is a research

Food impacts not only the body but also the brain. Researchers at Lund University strive to understand how a diet rich on fat and sugar impacts memory functions in relation to obesity and type 2 diabetes. Their new study on mice shows that although an unhealthy diet leads to memory impairment, the damage does not have to be permanent. Obesity is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and car

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

Where, how often, and how much it is going to rain or snow in the future is difficult to predict. Anders Ahlström studies the importance of precipitation for ecosystems on Earth – and contributes with new knowledge in a complex and fraught area. Across the world, researchers are in agreement on future warming patterns. However, future precipitation is more difficult to predict, and climate models

Learning about climate change and other sustainability challenges can make students feel anxious and stressed, often leaving them overwhelmed and unsure of how to respond or take action. A new toolbox, developed by researchers at Lund University in collaboration with experts in climate change, pedagogy, arts, and child psychology, aims to strengthen students’ resilience and help them transform fee

In a historic decision, Brazil's Supreme Court has voted down the agricultural lobby's attempt to limit Indigenous People's land rights. Sustainability researcher Torsten Krause is cautiously optimistic about the decision, which he believes is positive for both human rights and biodiversity, but fears that it could lead to increased deforestation and mining in Brazil's neighboring countries. – It

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

Personer som fått brottsofferersättning upplever vanligtvis att kompensationen är för låg för att vara meningsfull. Ersättningens effekt på individens lidande, självkänsla och upprättelse är ofta begränsad eller obefintlig, visar en rapport från Rättssociologiska institutionen. I en enkätundersökning har rättssociologerna Karl Dahlstrand och Peter Bergwall undersökt hur 300 brottsoffer upplever at

Plaståtervinning och avfallshantering i all ära, men vad blir den egentliga miljövinsten om plastproduktionen fördubblas inom den närmaste 20-årsperioden? Den frågan ställer sig forskare som menar att mer fokus måste läggas på hur plasten produceras. En ny forskningsstudie visar att det inte finns något politiskt intresse för de initiala stegen plastens livscykel; det vill säga vilka råvaror använ

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. TEDDY- studien har sedan 2004, med hjälp av navelsträngsblod, identifierat skånska barn som har en ökad ärftlig risk att få diabetes. Nu fortsätter studien med uppföljning av 2 500 av dessa barn tills de blir 15 år. Forskarna hoppas att TEDDY-studien ska ge svar på varför barn får diabetes. Typ 1 diabetes drabbar nä
