Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi

Presently many of Sweden’s 20,000 Parkinson’s patients are not receiving the treatment they need, and many of the most seriously ill receive incorrect or inappropriate therapy. With the new Manage PD tool and the PD Pal study, Per Odin, professor at Lund University and senior attending physician at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, hopes to be able to improve the care of Parkinson’s patients.

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has identified a protein in the blood that could predict type 2 diabetes up to nineteen years before the onset of the disease. The study is published in Nature Communications. Type 2 diabetes is a growing global epidemic, with 6% of the world population suffering from the disease. However, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be greatly reduced

Identical twins share the same DNA, but one twin can 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

Science has the technology to measure the activity of every gene within a single individual cell, and just one experiment can generate thousands of cells worth of data. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now revolutionised the way this data is analysed – by using 3D video gaming technology. The study is published in the journal iScience. Advanced techniques in DNA and RNA sequencing hav

Many developing countries are making progress, whereas others are stalling or falling behind. In the latter cases, transformation capacity needs to be reinforced to enable the countries to meet present and future societal challenges. In view of this, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) has now signed a four-year agreement with Lund University in Sweden regarding commiss

Researchers have developed a model that can calculate individual countries' carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning using observations from space. The new results could be put to use within the Earth observation programme Copernicus, when satellites will be sent into space in the coming years. At the COP26 climate summit, the nations of the world agreed on a new document that for the fir

With 10,000 new cases a year, prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in Sweden. To create equal, accessible and high-quality prostate cancer care, Region Skåne has introduced Organised prostate cancer testing, OPT. "Anyone who wants to should be allowed to be tested for prostate cancer. Studies show that early detection lowers long-term mortality", says Anders Bjartell, one of Sweden’s lea

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has succeeded in producing two molecules that are otherwise only formed by microorganisms from extremely contaminated wastewater in an abandoned mine in South Korea. The method, which took four years to develop, could pave the way for new types of drugs. The study is published in Journal of the American Chemical Society. Glionitrin A and B are two molec
