Våra insulinproducerande betaceller åldras liksom vi. Nya studier visar att ökad ålder medför epigenetiska förändringar i cellerna vilket kan vara en anledning till att vi drabbas av typ 2 diabetes. Cellerna är förprogrammerade för vissa ändamål. Detta styrs av den genetiska koden i vår arvsmassa (DNA) och kan inte ändras. Däremot kan omständigheter som cellen utsätts för leda till små omprogramme

Kvinnor med typ 1 diabetes som får expertstöd under sin graviditet kan genomgå en i det närmaste normal graviditet och förlossning. Deras barn drabbas också mer sällan av missbildningar eller diabetesrelaterade sjukdomar, visar ny forskning från Lunds universitet. Kvinnor med typ 1 diabetes har ofta mer komplicerade graviditeter. De drabbas oftare av havandeskapsförgiftning, förtidig förlossning,

Fet yoghurt, fil och grädde kan minska risken för typ 2 diabetes, medan rött kött ökar den. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet som undersökt matvanor i syfte att bringa klarhet i vad olika fetter i våra livsmedel har för betydelse för risken av typ 2 diabetes. Forskarna undersökte matvanorna hos cirka 27 000 personer i åldern 45 till 74 år från ”Malmö kost cancer”-studien på 1990-talet,

Konkurrerande sjukdomsrisker och gynnsamma livsstilsförändringar kan eventuellt förklara varför färre män med typ 2-diabetes insjuknar i prostatacancer. Slutsatserna dras i en ny avhandling från Lunds universitet med fokus på prostatacancer och olika riskfaktorer, bl.a. den livsstilsrelaterade sjukdomen typ 2-diabetes. - Det finns ingen känd stark biologisk mekanism som kan förklara att färre män

Många av de personer som har genetiska förutsättningar att utveckla förmaksflimmer, med kraftigt ökad risk för stroke som följd, kan upptäckas genom ett blodprov. Det visar ny forskning från Lunds universitet. Över 200 000 svenskar har förmaksflimmer. Antalet drabbade ökar påtagligt, vilket bland annat antas bero på att allt fler blir äldre. Den som har förmaksflimmer har också en kraftigt ökad ri

I mer än 60 år har metformin varit förstahandsval av läkemedel vid typ 2 diabetes. Det är det äldsta och fortfarande vanligaste medlet. Nu visar amerikanska forskare att metformin även under många år kan förhindra att sjukdomen bryter ut hos patienter med hög risk att insjukna. Det är den stora och långvariga studien Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) som publicerar den senaste uppföljningen i tids

2024 was the year when Pufendorf IAS' calls for applications reached further and beyond. We received many applications both to start Advanced Study Groups and Themes at the Pufendorf Institute. Decisions on which Theme applications will go all the way will be made in April. Right now, we are pleased to welcome four new Advanced Study Groups starting in February, 2025. Advanced Study Groups 2025Sto

As advancements in genetic technology continue to benefit human health, concerns are mounting over their potential misuse in geopolitical conflicts. While discussions on the risks of genetic technology in international affairs have often focused on dramatic scenarios – such as so-called "genetic bioweapons" – a team of interdisciplinary researchers argues that the reality is far more complex: less

Although the public sector makes up half of our economy, there is currently no interdisciplinary tax centre in Sweden. By linking research to specific societal challenges, Lund University aims to contribute to a more sustainable and efficient tax policy, while also reinforcing Sweden’s position in the global debate on the future tax system. Researchers at Lund University are launching a new interd

The digital transformation of our world and the use of innovative digital technologies, including AI, reshape economic, social, political, and cultural interactions in most areas of life. While digital technologies may offer possibilities for development and action, they also raise concerns about integrity, privacy, and democratic values.
