I en av Europas största satsningar någonsin på diabetesforskning ska Lunds universitet fördjupa kunskapen kring diabetes typ 2. Satsningen, som bär namnet DIRECT, har en budget på 45 miljoner Euro (ca 400 miljoner kr) och kommer a

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

Pancreatic cancer is currently very difficult to detect while it is still resectable. A new blood test developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, Herlev Hospital, Knight Cancer Center and Immunovia AB, can detect pancreatic cancer in the very earliest stages of the disease. The results have been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Due to diffuse symptoms, pancreatic cancer i

Neurons thrive and grow in a new type of nanowire material developed by researchers in Nanophysics and Ophthalmology at Lund University in Sweden. In time, the results might improve both neural and retinal implants, and reduce the risk of them losing their effectiveness over time, which is currently a problem. By implanting electrodes in the brain tissue one can stimulate or capture signals from d
