Life is like a marathon. According to Dr. Anders Björklund, a pioneer and expert in cell replacement strategies for patients with Parkinson’s Disease, so is life in academia. Along his scientific run he has passed several milestones, the most recent being a jubilee honorary doctorate awarded by Lund University in celebration of his decades of contributions to neuroscience. We sat down with Anders

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. High blood pressure damages our blood vessels. It also damages our heart, our brain and our kidneys. A high blood pressure increases the risk of suffering a heart attack and stroke. However, it is not known exactly why a high blood pressure is so dangerous. – The reason is that we have effective antihypertensive medic

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt att mängden av ett mikroRNA är förhöjt vid typ 2-diabetes och påverkar utsöndringen av insulin negativt. Deras försök på mänskliga insulinproducerade celler i bukspottskörteln visar även att det går att öka insulinutsöndringen genom att minska mängden av detta mikroRNA. Målsättningen är att forskningen ska leda till nya behandlingar för personer med sjuk

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Autoantikroppar som föregår typ 1 diabetes går att mäta när som helst i livet. Genom att titta på antalet antikroppar, vilka de är och i hur höga nivåer de finns, kan man tillsammans med den genetiska profilen göra en bedömning av risken för en individ att insjukna i typ 1 diabetes. Här skriver Cecilia Andersson, fo

We usually associate ageing with a shrinking life span, sickness and death. The difficulty of imagining ourselves as old means that we go to great lengths to avoid planning for later life. Yet researchers argue that we have everything to gain by looking at life as a journey where preparations for the future provide opportunities for living a full life – until it really is over. We are all aware th

During his more than 50-year career, diabetes researcher Åke Lernmark has made several significant discoveries that have increased knowledge about type 1 diabetes. His research contributes to creating conditions for a national screening programme in Sweden. In Sweden, around 1,000 children and an equal number of adults develop type 1 diabetes each year.
