Alla vill vi väl leva länge, men vara friska ända till slutet. Men är det ens möjligt att bli riktigt gammal utan att bli sjuk? Olle Melander planerar själv att bli 85 år. Och han har gjort en del livsstilsförändringar för att kunna nå sitt mål. Olle Melander är professor i internmedicin och överläkare vid Skånes universitetssjukhus. Han har nyligen själv gjort en hälsoresa och det är hans egen fo

Researchers at Lund University Faculty of Medicine have determined a novel mechanism linking the metabolism of ribonucleic acids, RNA, to the development of leukemia in myelodysplastic syndrome patients, MDS. In a study published in the Molecular Cell journal, they explain what makes hematopoietic stem cells acquire malignant traits in cancer. RNA splicing is a major nexus of gene expression regul

Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new mouse model that answers the question of what actually happens in the body when type 2 diabetes develops and how the body responds to drug treatment. Long-term studies of the middle-aged mouse model will be better than previous studies at confirming how dru

Vid typ 2-diabetes försämras bukspottskörtelns förmåga att tillverka och utsöndra insulin, en komplex process som ännu inte är helt klarlagd. En ny studie av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar att jonkanalen Piezo1 spelar en viktig roll för insulinutsöndringen och kan bli betydelsefull för framtida behandlingar av diabetes. Typ 2-diabetes kännetecknas av nedsatt glukostolerans och det innebär at

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

In August, the IPCC published the first part of its sixth assessment report (AR6). It summarises the “physical science basis” for climate change. The message was loud and clear: humans are causing climate change. The next instalment of AR6 will focus on concrete solutions, and highlight how societies, especially vulnerable groups, will be impacted by climate change. Ahead of the coming COP26 in Gl
