Kartläggningen av TXNIP verkan kan på sikt öppna vägen för ett läkemedel som förmår bryta cirkeln. Typ 2 diabetes föregås av en långsamt men fortlöpande försämrad blodsockerkontroll. Nu har forskare vid LUDC upptäckt en gen, TXNIP, som fö

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Den insulinbildande betacellen är starkt beroende av kolesterol för att fungera normalt. Endast en blygsam sänkning av mängden kolesterol i cellens vägg halverar kapaciteten för insulinfrisättning, visar forskare vid LUDC. Detta är ett betydelsefullt fynd eftersom i stort sett alla diabetiker, oavsett kolesterolnivå

Istället för att lagra fett bränner musen upp det, omvandlar fettet till värme. Knockoutmusen är en extrem modell men effekterna av den utslagna genen för hormonkänsligt lipas orsakar intressanta störningar i ämnesomsättningen.

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

After 15 years, hundreds of meetings, conferences, opinion pieces, interviews and trips to Stockholm, it happened – the Government adopted the Housing First model as a national strategy for tackling homelessness. “We are very proud. We have just finished an information guide that the National Board of Health and Welfare will distribute to Sweden’s social workers,” Marcus Knutagård tells LUM when w

Several faculties have merged different departments or are about to do so. The Faculty of Engineering (LTH) merged two departments at the turn of the year, the Facult of Social Sciences has decided on one merger and is on the way to a second, while the Faculty of Science will make a decision after the summer. In a policy decision last year, the Faculty of Social Sciences decided that within a few

There is widespread agreement among the physicists and chemists for their establishment in Science Village to take place simultaneously and as soon as possible. There are also proposals for how the two departments could work together. Leif Bülow, head of the Department of Chemistry, describes the forthcoming establishment and merger as an incredible opportunity and says the vast majority of those

Can games serve as a method for spreading knowledge and inspiring action? If you ask Karl Sterner Isaksson and Jagdeep Singh, the answer is an obvious yes! They are both currently working on games about biodiversity and food waste, respectively, and they see games as a way to transform complex environmental challenges into something understandable, engaging – and fun!

When researchers from three continents gathered at Lund University's Department of Sociology for the conference Crisis, Hope, and Critical Turning Points, the spotlight was on society’s capacity to navigate and recover from crises. Despite the gravity of the topics, the atmosphere was animated—filled with conversation, laughter, and spontaneous exchanges. With renowned scholar Sylvia Walby as keyn

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

Some blood pressure medications can make the skin extra prone to sunburn. A registry study from Lund University in Sweden shows a possible increased risk of basal cell carcinoma with certain blood pressure medications. The risk increase is relatively low—at most nine percent. “Blood pressure treatment should not be discontinued. But it’s good if doctors inform patients that extra sun protection ma

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicio

The income and education levels of a child’s environment determine their relationship to nature, not whether they live in a city or the countryside. This is the finding of a new study conducted by researchers at Lund University, Sweden. The results run counter to the assumption that growing up in the countryside automatically increases our connection to nature, and yet the study also shows that na

Havsbaserad vindkraft utmålas som en av lösningarna för att lösa elkrisen i södra Sverige. Samtidigt har den drabbats av ”not in my backyard-problematik”, då många kommuner säger nej till regeringens beslut. Forskaren Henner Busch har studerat vad som behövs för att få med sig lokalbefolkningen och skapa en rättvis energiomställning. Under hösten tog regeringen beslut om att ge Svenska kraftnät i

Kanske kan vi lärare nyttja den digitala tekniken till att bli bättre på att ge feedback och ge tydligare struktur åt våra kurser?
