Professor Lars Lind uses the EpiHealth cohort to investigate why people with diabetes have a higher risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases and how genetic factors can contribute to this. He is trying to map a diabetes profile to find mechanisms which can instigate the development of a therapy in the future. Lars works at the Department of Medical Sciences at Uppsala University and

The climate cannot handle the amount of animals we eat. There needs to be a protein shift, according to researcher Karolina Östbring who is involved in the Sustainability Week. Her vision is to create a platform for research on vegetable proteins at LU. Karolina Östberg  Photo: Kennet Ruona. The human population is growing, while our ecological footprint needs to become much lower in order to redu

Ever since the blood type was discovered in 1962, no one has been able to explain why some people become Xga positive while others are Xga negative. But now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have finally solved the mystery, and their study is being published in the scientific journal Blood. In case of a blood transfusion, it is important to know the blood type of both the donor and the pat

A unique archive in Lund, Sweden, holds 500 in-depth interviews with survivors of the Ravensbrück concentration camp. The interviews were conducted immediately after the survivors arrived in Sweden in spring 1945. The archive has now been nominated to the UN agency UNESCO to become part of the Memory of the World Register, as a piece of written cultural heritage of great value to humanity. The arc

Accumulation of the substance amyloid beta in the brain impairs the memory and cognitive ability in people with Alzheimer’s. New findings from Lund University in Sweden show that the cause of amyloid beta pathology might be more versatile than previously known. Researchers believe that these new findings may be of significance to the development of new medications. The accumulation of the protein
