Hyperglycemia starts a complex chain of events that damages blood vessels and cause cardiovascular disease. Scientists at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) have now been able to demonstrate why this happens, as well as how the destructive chain can be broken. This discovery represents a crucial step towards an efficient treatment of the vascular injuries that will be the cause of death for mo

Despite the disappointing results in trying to treat children suffering from type 1 diabetes with the GAD vaccine, the treatment has not been written off entirely. DIAPREV-IT, the study in which healthy high-risk children are vaccinated, is continuing as planned, and now with more money behind it. "I am still hopeful that the GAC vaccine will work", says Helena Elding Larsson. Dr Elding Larsson is

Physical violence is rarely something people think about or act out. Even violence specialists - people with a propensity for violence and a capacity to cause devastating damage - are belligerent only a fraction of their time awake. Sociology professor David Wästerfors is an anomaly. He has thought about violence a lot. This fall, Professor Wästerfors published some of his thoughts in the book Vio

Can dragonflies migrate thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean, from India via the Maldives to Africa, and back again? An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has used models and simulations to find out if the hypothesis could be true. In 2009, marine biologist Charles Anderson put forward a hypothesis after observing globe skimmer dragonflies (Pantala flavescens) on th

“Toke is shy but does the most exploring of all of them, while Siggi is relaxed and friendly. But you have to know them to be able to work with them”, says cognitive scientist Stephan Reber. He is not talking about his colleagues but the alligators now on site in Ystad zoo, where the researchers have a specially adapted facility to study the animals’ behaviour. The heat and humidity hit you as soo

After the IPCC report, it’s clear that changes must be made rapidly. A lot of people are wondering whether the University is doing something about it or just talking. Climate change and sustainability are discussed a lot internationally, nationally and at Lund University. However, it is clear, particularly after the latest IPCC report, that changes must be made rapidly. A lot of people are therefo

Interest in type 1 diabetes screening is growing as methods improve and new treatments become available to more patients. New research at Lund University demonstrates how screening for autoimmune diseases can be carried out on a large-scale basis. A new treatment that can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes has been approved for use in the United States. If the treatment Teplizumab becomes availabl

Verktyg för generativ AI (GenAI eller GAI) kan ha en plats i utbildningssammanhang, men dessa verktyg innebär också utmaningar. Vi lär oss alla om dessa frågor tillsammans, och det är viktigt för lärare att ha öppna samtal med studenterna om användningen av GenAI i studierna. Den här artikeln innehåller förslag på hur du kan starta och upprätthålla sådana diskussioner med dina studenter. Ignorera

Högre handelshinder för omvärlden och minskad export till USA väntas om Donald Trump vinner. Effekterna av Kamala Harris vinst är i jämförelse betydligt lättare att hantera. Det menar ekonomiforskaren Maria Persson. I valkampanjen inför det amerikanska presidentvalet har Donald Trump fokuserat på internationell ekonomi. Det handlar i huvudsak om två övergripande frågor. – Ett förslag är som bekant

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w
