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 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

A sudden bang. The hand grenade has caused me severe shrapnel injuries: a punctured lung, my liver is bleeding and the wound on my leg is causing rapid blood loss. The medics decide that this requires an intervention from the trauma squad. I am loaded onto a stretcher and driven to the surgery tent. It is Monday morning, and the Aurora 23 military exercise is in full swing in southern Sweden. I am

In healthcare, treatments developed for broad patient groups are often used. This is not always an effective approach. Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova has therefore distributed research grants to eleven Swedish innovation environments whose research aims to develop more individually adapted healthcare for patients.

Astronomers can use supercomputers to simulate the formation of galaxies from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago to the present day. But there are a number of sources of error. An international research team, led by researchers in Lund, has spent a hundred million computer hours over eight years trying to correct these. The last decade has seen major advances in computer simulations that can real

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
