Många arter havssköldpaddor, sälar, valar, hajar och sjöfåglar riskerar att fara illa på grund av mänsklig aktivitet. Det visar en internationell jättestudie som Lunds universitet medverkat i. Studien, som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Science, bygger på omfattande följningsdata från 121 marina djurarter som alla är beroende av havet för sin överlevnad. Bakom studien står 377 forskare

A key goal of public health systems is to reduce existing socioeconomic disparities in health. Yet, the economic incentives facing healthcare providers sometimes work in the other direction. Specifically, when providers are remunerated by a fixed sum for taking the overall responsibility for a given patient, they are incentivised to avoid or undertreat patients whose care needs are relatively larg

Why are some people with obesity protected from type 2 diabetes? Who is at risk of developing gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes? The Hjelt Diabetes Foundation awards two diabetes researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre grants for projects that are seeking new answers to these questions. Gestational diabetes happens when the body cannot produce enough insulin during pregnancy. The con

Identical twins share the same DNA, but one twin may suffer from type 2 diabetes while the other twin does not develop the disease. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has now discovered that there are differences in gene activity in twins where only one sibling had developed the disease. The researchers’ discovery could contribute to the development of new treatment methods. “Identical twins

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r
