Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new mouse model that answers the question of what actually happens in the body when type 2 diabetes develops and how the body responds to drug treatment. Long-term studies of the middle-aged mouse model will be better than previous studies at confirming how drugs for type 2 diabetes function in humans. “The animal models for type 2 diabetes

Protecting, planting and restoring coastal ecosystems has attracted increased attention as a way of capturing and storing carbon in mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass meadows. In her dissertation, Terese Thoni has investigated the importance of these ecosystems in relation to the political climate negotiations. Ten years ago, the concept of "blue carbon" was established to describe the carbon c

The news last week that Lund University has five profile areas has generated a lot of interest. Since the information at this stage has been rather limited, I will answer the three most common questions here. More information will be published about the profile areas after the summer holidays. Question 1: What will the profile areas do? All five profile areas are based on excellent research, with

Economists are obsessed with growth. So says economist Timothée Parrique, who has recently attracted attention for his research into degrowth. He thinks that creativity is missing from economic theory. “Economists stubbornly attempt to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s theories,” he says. Trusting one’s gut instinct can bring rewards. In Timothée Parrique’s case that was certainly true – tod

It is half past three in the morning on one of the last nights of October. Storm Babet is raging and most people are trying to sleep through the sound of the wind, but coastal researchers at LTH are wide awake. Strong winds combined with high water levels are a warning sign for communities on the south coast of Skåne, and that’s where the researchers are heading, to the heart of the action. They a

Mammography screening supported by artificial intelligence (AI) is a safe alternative to today’s conventional double reading by radiologists and can reduce heavy workloads for doctors. This has now been shown in an interim analysis of a prospective, randomised controlled trial, which addressed the clinical safety of using AI in mammography screening. The trial, led by researchers from Lund Univers
