Rektor har utnämnt tre av universitetets större forskningsinfrastrukturer till universitetsplattformar. Utnämningen signalerar att dessa forskningsinfrastrukturer har hög strategisk betydelse för hela universitetet. Utnämningarna baseras på ett antal kriterier, till exempel ska forskningsinfrastrukturerna ha bidragit till excellent forskning, erbjudit en bred tillgänglighet för användare, kunnat v

Rökare som fimpar för gott löper ökad risk att utveckla typ 2 diabetes de första sex åren jämfört med dem som aldrig rökt. Orsaken är ökad kroppsvikt. Likväl ger ett rökstopp kraftiga hälsovinster. Forskarna vid Johns Hopkins universitet i Baltimore, USA understryker att deras resultat inte ska ses som en ursäkt att

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Tidigare studier har väckt frågan om att metformin på längre sikt påverkar kognitiva förmågor negativt, kanske även utvecklandet av demens. Nu kan en stor undersökning skriva av farhågorna – metformin har inga negativa bieffekter på intellektet. Olika studier har testat om diabetesmedelet medlet minskar risken för a

Det konstaterar forskare vid bland annat Umeå universitet i en studie som publiceras i tidskriften Diabetic Medicine. – Att vi får allt färre insjuknanden i diabetes är väldigt positivt, men också paradoxalt eftersom föreko

Symptoms for patients with the gastrointestinal disease IBS improved as much by eating less sugar and starch as for those who followed FODMAP – the diet currently recommended to patients. The results, presented in a new study from Lund University in Sweden, also show that weight loss is greater and sugar cravings are reduced among those who follow the starch and sucrose-reduced diet.

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o

Vad händer när patienter med typ 2-diabetes själv får välja vilken behandling de ska få? Hittills har forskningen i stort blivit svaret skyldig. Men nu har forskare vid universitetet i Exeter, England, undersökt saken i en studie som har publicerats i Nature Medicine. Det kortfattade svaret på frågan är att det går bra. I studien fick 448 patienter med typ 2-diabetes testa tre vanliga diabetestabl
