Personer med typ 2-diabetes har ökad risk för hjärt-kärlsjukdomar och förtida död till följd av åderförfettning och forskare söker efter förklaringar till detta. Ett forskarlag vid Lunds universitet har nu identifierat molekylära mekanismer som kan förklara den ökade risken. Deras upptäckt kan leda till mer träffsäkra behandlingar mot åderförfettning i samband med typ 2-diabetes. Individer med typ

Under sin mer än 50-åriga karriär har diabetesforskaren Åke Lernmark gjort flera betydande upptäckter som har ökat kunskapen om typ 1-diabetes. Hans forskning bidrar till att skapa förutsättningar för ett nationellt screeningprogram i Sverige. I Sverige insjuknar omkring 1000 barn och lika många vuxna i typ 1-diabetes varje år. Sjukdomen får stora konsekvenser för de familjer som drabbas. Barn med
