Barn med hög födelsevikt får oftare typ 1 diabetes. Men sambandet kanske inte är så rakt som iakttagelsen antyder. Forskare vid LUDC har undersökt frågan och funnit att det troligen inte är vikten i sig utan kända riskgener för typ 1 diabetes som ligger bakom. – Sambandet födelsevikt och diabetesrisk finns där och man har förklarat det med att den ökande vällevnaden gör att barnen växer för mycket

Vad har fotboll och jobbet som kanslichef på universitetet gemensamt? Faktiskt mer än man kan tro. Det menar Lina Wedin, ny kanslichef på Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten och fotbollsspelare sedan barnsben. Fotbollsintresset väcktes redan i sexårs­åldern när Lina Wedin följde i tvillingsystern Emmas fotspår och började i fotbollsskola. I tonåren blev hon uttagen till flera elitsatsningar och efter

Klimatforskare framhåller ofta att det ligger i allas intresse att koldioxidutsläppen minskar. Men hur bra är de själva på att minimera sina klimatavtryck? En ny studie från Lund visar att vissa bränner halva sin CO2-budget på en vecka. Men att det finns sätt att minska utsläppen. Forskare har granskat utsläppen från deltagare på en årlig internationell vattenkonferens mellan åren 2004 och 2023. K

Överviktskirurgi har i många studier lyfts fram som en näst intill magisk metod för viktnedgång och tillbakagång av typ 2-diabetes. En fråga som i stort sett har lämnats obesvarad är huruvida effekten av kirurgi skiljer sig från de effekter man får av en sträng lågkaloridiet. Detta har nu forskare vid Lunds universitet undersökt i en studie som publicerats i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Diabetes.

A method that will quickly and easily detect diabetic neuropathy, nerve damage caused by high blood sugar, is under development. The aim is to identify individuals in the risk zone so that it is possible to initiate early treatment to prevent, or even reverse, the development. Neuropathy can be difficult to diagnose. It covers many different nerve types, can express itself in several different way

Emily Sonestedt investigates how food affects the health and the risk to develop type 2 diabetes. This knowledge is of importance to society when developing food-based dietary guidelines. It can be hard to make healthy food choices.

Is there any underlying biological explanation for why men are responsible for such a large proportion of sexual assaults compared to women? Or, from a biological point of view, could women just as easily have been the ones to commit this type of harassment and assault, if the social and historical power structure were reversed? In the light of the #metoo movement’s many testimonies, LUM sat down

Stortorget, the main square in the centre of Malmö, has looked the same for the past 35 years or so but the way in which the city’s inhabitants use the space has changed. These changes provide a picture of the development of the city and community, from an industrial society to a society based on services and consumption. Mattias Kärrholm.

Should climate researchers let their findings speak for themselves, or does the state of the planet mean that it is a duty to take to the barricades? How can science get its message across in the best way and does climate activism by researchers impact their credibility? These questions were the focus of Debatt i Lund this May. The panel consisted of sustainability researcher Kimberly Nicholas, so
