Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Mycket talar för att diabetes typ 2 inte är en sjukdom utan snarare ett flertal olika. I en av Europas största satsningar någonsin på diabetesforskning ska Lunds universitet fördjupa kunskapen kring diabetes typ 2. Satsningen, som bär namnet DIRECT, har en budget på 45 miljoner Euro (ca 400 miljoner kr) och kommer a

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Vilket samband finns mellan mat och dryck med tillsatt socker och allvarlig hjärtsjukdom? Frågan är tidigare dåligt belyst i forskningen, men nu finns för första gången en mer omfattande studie från Lunds universitet som bidrar med ledtrådar. Fokus i den aktuella studien är på sackaros. Sackaros finns naturligt i fr

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

Veterinarian in charge Anders Forslid is retiring after 30 years working to improve the welfare of research animals at Lund University. He has witnessed a paradigm shift in animal health and animal experiments, and the way animal testing and humans’ obligations are viewed has changed. When Anders Forslid started out as a laboratory animal veterinarian at Lund University, he received a fairly cool

Roach that migrate between different lakes and water courses have larger pupils and better eyesight than roach that stay in one place. The adaptation makes it easier for the red-eyed freshwater migrants to find food in murky waters. This is shown in a large study from Lund University in Sweden. Animals’ eyes, just like those of humans, are a kind of window to the world. Eyesight controls important

Using X-ray and neutron scattering, a team of researchers in Lund has succeeded in mapping the fibril structure of the beta-amyloid 42 protein that contributes to Alzheimer’s disease. The new knowledge could be an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle in the future search for effective drugs. In Alzheimer’s disease, the atrophy of the nerve cells in the brain leads to memory problems and cognitive
