One third of the population is more sensitive to melatonin and face a higher risk of getting typ 2-diabetes. Why this is so is a question for Claire Lyons to answer. Learn more about her and her research. Our body clock, or circadian rhythm, controls our daily activities over a 24h period but sometimes this rhythm can become disturbed by shift work, jet lag or even our genetics. The hormone melato

Is it possible to conduct research on type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and hair loss at the same time? Absolutely, says Pontus Dunér who after many years of secrecy can now lift the lid on and talk about his promising results. The common denominator is a protein that Pontus Dunér and his colleagues have worked on intensively in recent years to modify and break down into smaller active components,

Insulin which is released by pancreatic beta-cells is the main regulator of blood sugar. Previous and current studies by a research group at Lund University in Sweden have identified around hundred different receptors on the surface of the beta-cells, with a diverse functional impact on the beta-cells. Now researchers at Lund University in collaboration with researchers at University of Sharjah, U

An international research collaboration led by researchers from the Universities of Helsinki and Oxford has identified the biological mechanism through which a genetic variant protects against type 2 diabetes. The study, published in the journal Nature Genetics, finds that changes in a gene which makes zinc transporter proteins reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by enhancing insulin secretion from

There are delicious smells emanating from the kitchen at the Malmö apartment of nutrition physiologist, Louise Brunkwall. Today, she is making pasta and vegetable sauce for lunch. A clean up before the interview with LUM means she can no longer find anything in the kitchen cupboards: “Usually there is always some kind of organised chaos here!” Louise Brunkwall knew from an early age that she wante

New research shows that it is possible to predict the development of type 1 diabetes. By measuring the presence of autoantibodies in the blood, it is possible to detect whether the immune system has begun to break down the bodys own insulin cells. "In the TEDDY study we have found that autoantibodies often appear during the first few years of life", said professor Åke Lernmark from Lund University

New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study showed an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes (T1D). Notably, researchers also found that early adenovirus C infection seemed to confer protection from autoimmunity. The full findings

Sweden and Denmark are among the countries in the world with the highest type-1 diabetes prevalence. Both countries have a long tradition of excellent research and treatment, and with the new joint diabetes project DiaUnion, supported by the EU's Interreg program, we are bridging research among the two countries to jointly put in an extra effort to fight the deadly disease. The DiaUnion project st

Using lipidomics, a technique that measures the composition of blood lipids at a molecular level, and machine learning, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a blood lipid profile that improves the possibility to assess, several years in advance, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The blood lipid profile can also be linked to a certain diet and degree of physical activity.
