Forskning vid Lunds universitet visar att de biologiska föräldrarnas gener påverkar barnets insulinfunktion samt förmågor att reglera blodsockernivåer och blodfetter på olika sätt. Med hjälp av sådan kunskap kan det bli möjligt att utveckla förebyggande behandlingar som minskar barnets risk att utveckla typ 2-diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Tidigare forskning av diabetesforskaren Rashmi Prasad har

Genom att skapa ett konstgjort åldrande hos möss, har lundaforskare kunnat följa hur aneurysm – pulsåderbråck – utvecklas i blodkärlens väggar. Ett resultat i studien, som nu publicerats i Journal of Biological Chemistry, överraskade forskarna: mössen skyddades samtidigt mot högt blodtryck genom att en annan signalväg aktiverades i kärlväggens celler - och kompenserade för belastningen i de åldran

Despite groundbreaking research, many cell and gene therapies do not make it all the way to the patients. Researchers and clinicians in Lund have now presented a new model for cooperation that will shorten lead times and reduce costs – with the aim to give more patients access to advanced, potentially curative treatments. In brief: Why promising cell and gene therapies fail to reach implementation

The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the affected cells. This is shown by two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better understand how the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment actively drive cancer development and spread,” says Vinay Swaminathan, senior lecturer at Lund Univ

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied how patients with advanced cancer seek care during the final stages of their lives. By studying their care patterns, the research team has developed a measurement method that relates healthcare needs to the changing value of time for patients at the end of life. The less time they have left to live, the more precious time feels. Every year,

Where will the chemists and the physicists be located in the future? A recent report shows that it will be much more expensive to move to Science Village than if they stay on Sölvegatan. The evaluation report compares three options:  Chemistry and physics establish activities in Science Village and move there Kemicentrum is renovated and expanded, and the physicists move in there to be with the ch
