An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

Swedish higher education institutions have recently highlighted several problems concerning international students and researchers and their opportunities to enter, stay and work in Sweden. This is not only a considerable concern for individuals, but also affects higher education institutions’ competitiveness and ultimately that of Sweden. I have previously written in the blog about amendments to

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Giving up research has never been an option for Ronald Kröger, professor in biology with a specialisation in fish lenses and dog noses. “I conduct research with all of my heart!” He is, however, at least as dependent on his brain – and it has really suffered. It is nearly five years since the Saturday morning when Ron

Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS.  He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on

During spring, a faculty group has worked on developing alternatives for a new organisation for the Faculty's research infrastructure. Kajsa M Paulsson has led the work and tells more. Why does the Faculty want to reorganise the research infrastructure?"A large number of the Faculty's research infrastructures have expressed that they want more dialogue with the Faculty management and increased opp

Ett forskarteam från Lunds universitets diabetescentrum (LUDC) har genomfört en omfattande analys av de genetiska skillnaderna mellan olika grupper med personer med fetma. Forskarna definierade i studien två fetmaprofiler med olika risk för bland annat typ 2-diabetes. Fetma är ett globalt folkhälsoproblem som påverkar flera hundra miljoner människor runt om i världen oberoende av kön och ålder. De

Det tar lång tid, upp till flera decennier, innan fördelarna med ekologisk odling slår igenom fullt ut på mark som tidigare brukats konventionellt, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Efter trettio år hade växtarterna runtomkring den odlade grödan fördubblats på gårdar med ekologisk odling jämfört med på konventionella gårdar. Det är välkänt att ekologiskt jordbruk gynnar biologisk mångfald

Den vanliga föreställningen att äldre generellt är teknikskeptiska utmanas i en ny avhandling. Tvärtom visar många äldre personer intresse, särskilt när tekniken upplevs som meningsfull, lätt att använda och relevant i vardagen. Men så väl yngre som äldre uttrycker oro för teknikens miljöpåverkan och kostnader. Det är inte åldern i sig som påverkar attityden till digital teknik, utan andra faktore

Inflammatoriska reaktioner i hjärnan har länge misstänkts vara involverade vid Alzheimers sjukdom, men de är svåra att studera i den levande mänskliga hjärnan. Ett internationellt samarbete med forskare vid MultiPark, Lunds universitet, har gjort det möjligt att upptäcka förhöjda nivåer av Galektin-3, ett protein som uttrycks i hjärnans immunceller. Resultaten publicerades i Acta Neuropathologica
