In the past decade, knowledge of how lifestyle affects our genes, a research field called epigenetics, has grown exponentially. Researchers at the Lund University Diabetes Centre have summarised the state of scientific knowledge within epigenetics linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes in a review article published in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism. Epigenetic mechanisms (see fact box) cont

Vi studerar blod- och immunsystemet och dess sjukdomar. Ett särskilt fokusområde är hur medfödd genetisk variation påverkar hur blod- och immunceller, och hur sådan variation kan utnyttjas kliniskt. Vilka gener och genmutationer styr t ex risken för blodcancer? Kan vi utnyttja dem för att förebygga och behandla? Vilka styr vår blodgruppsuppsättning? Kan vi utnyttja dem för säkrare transfusion? EttWe study the blood and immune system and its diseases. A particular focus area is how congenital genetic variation affects blood and immune cells, and how such variation can be utilized clinically. Which genes and gene mutations control, for example, the risk of blood cancer? Can we use them to prevent and treat? Who controls our blood group set? Can we use them for safer transfusion?

Lund University and Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, have signed a memorandum of understanding regarding a joint initiative on immunotherapy. Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s own immune system to fight disease and has great potential, both in cancer and in autoimmune diseases where established treatments are insufficient.To capitalise on this development, a joint hub for stakeholders in the fi

Att insjukna i en reumatisk ledsjukdom innebär betydande förändringar i livet, särskilt när det sker under barndomen eller ungdomen. Vår forskning omfattar flera reumatiska och inflammatoriska tillstånd, med särskilt fokus på juvenil idiopatisk artrit (JIA), men även andra sjukdomar som Kawasakis sjukdom och MIS-C (hyperinflammation efter COVID-19-infektion). Vi bedriver både klinisk- och laboratoBeing diagnosed with a rheumatic disease entails significant life changes, especially when it occurs during childhood or adolescence.

An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial? If the point is to aid threatened bee species and biodiversity, then a variety of native plants is the way to go. If you are a farmer, with large areas of insect-pollinated crops, it might be easiest to aim for a few species of flo

Flera forskningsprojekt vid vår avdelning är inriktade på att bättre förstå mekanismer som ligger bakom utvecklingen av svåra infektionssjukdomar, fr.a. orsakade av bakterier men också av virus och svampar. Utgångspunkten för arbetet har ofta varit upptäckten av bakteriella ytproteiner och enzymer som på olika sätt interagerar med människans försvarssystem (medfödd och förvärvad immunitet och blodSeveral research projects at our Division are focused on molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to the development of severe infections caused preferentially by bacteria, but also by viruses and fungi.
