Förträngningar i hjärtats blodkärl är en möjlig följdsjukdom vid typ 1-diabetes som på sikt kan leda till hjärtinfarkt och hjärtsvikt. I regel drabbas kvinnor av kranskärlssjukdom senare än män, men om kvinnan har typ 2-diabetes minskar den fördelen. Det gäller även vid typ 1-diabetes, visar forskare vid Karolinska

En helt ny indelning av diabetessjukdomarna som även förutser risken för allvarliga följdsjukdomar och ger förslag på behandling. Det är resultatet av ANDIS, en studie som omfattar alla nyinsjuknade diabetiker i södra Sverige. Fynden publiceras i The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Den stora skillnaden från dagens

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Genom att undersöka ögats hornhinna med ett specialmikroskop kan det bli möjligt att på tio minuter ställa diagnos om en person med typ 2-diabetes har fått nervskador. Det visar en studie från Umeå universitet, bland diabetespatienter i Skellefteå. – Även om det för närvarande inte finns någon botande behandling, är

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. I takt med att vi åldras försämras funktionen hos våra muskler. En studie från Karolinska Institutet visar hur ett oväntat högt antal mutationer i musklernas stamceller försämrar cellernas reparationsförmåga. Upptäckten kan leda till läkemedel som bygger starkare muskler även i högre åldrar. Att naturligt åldrande f

A man who is exposed to physical pain feels less severe pain if he is subjected to pain by a woman compared with a man, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. In addition, men experience less pain after surgery when asked about it by a woman than by a man. “This was true despite the fact that the men and women involved in the study were dressed the same and used the same script”

For over 20 years, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied the common bluetail damselfly. Females occur in three different colour forms – one with a male-like appearance, something that protects them from mating harassment. In a new study, an international research team found that this genetic colour variation that is shared between several species arose through changes in a speci

Worldwide, coastal river deltas are home to more than half a billion people, supporting fisheries, agriculture, cities, and fertile ecosystems. In a unique study covering 49 deltas globally, researchers from Lund University and Utrecht University have identified the most critical risks to deltas in the future. The research shows that deltas face multiple risks, and that population growth and poor

The COP climate meetings are organised in a way that benefits richer and larger countries at the expense of smaller and poorer countries, according to a new study from Lund University and the University of Leeds. The study also labels the participating countries as either Radicals, Opportunists, Hypocrites or Evaders. Every year, the UN organises its global climate change Conference of the Parties

Breath-holding spells are common in young children and are benign. Yet children often undergo unnecessary diagnostic interventions when seeking medical care. This is because there are no national or international guidelines on how to assess children in these cases. A team of researchers at Lund University, Sweden has now proposed guidelines to reduce the number of emergency and unplanned medical v

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke recovery therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment”, says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor of neurobiology at

 A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across 8 European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done.Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-target or

Through analysis of high-resolution data from a ten-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in generating new knowledge about three stars at the very heart of the Milky Way. The stars proved to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprised the researchers. The study, which has been published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, e

Lund University and Tetra Pak Processing are joining forces to build one of the largest precision fermentation research facilities in the Nordics. Microorganisms will be selected, fine-tuned and trained to convert inedible waste into food and materials for a growing population. The term “precision fermentation” is being used increasingly by biotechnology and food experts. As resources dwindle and

Do epigenetic changes cause type 2 diabetes, or do the changes occur only after a person has become ill? A new study by researchers at Lund University provides increased support for the idea that epigenetic changes can cause type 2 diabetes. The researchers behind the new findings published in Nature Communications now aim to develop methods for disease prevention. We inherit our genes from our pa

The development of a new treatment strategy for bacterial infections and sepsis is being led by researchers at Lund University. In a study the researchers demonstrate how they, by mimicking a substance naturally present in the body, can neutralize toxic substances from bacteria and thereby mitigate harmful inflammation that could otherwise lead to sepsis. “Despite decades of research, there are cu
