“Relapse of the condition is more common following the new treatment method using keyhole surgery, which for one-third of patients will lead to planned bowel operations. However, far fewer patients require ostomies,” says Pamela Buchwald, associate professor at Lund University and senior physician at Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, who led the study from Malmö. The study was led by researchers f

Children who had autoantibodies before falling ill with type 1 diabetes have also had an imbalance in their intestinal flora, previous research shows. In a new study conducted within the framework of a European research network, researchers at Lund University and Region Skåne will investigate whether the ingestion of probiotics from early birth can prevent the development of type 1 diabetes in chi

A new study from Lund University and Region Skåne in Sweden indicates that potency-enhancing PDE5 inhibitor drugs have an anti-cancer potential with the ability to improve the prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. PDE5 inhibitors include a few approved drugs in which sildenafil (Viagra) is the most well-known. The article is published in Nature Communications. “Available preclinical eviden

Is it time for a new nutritional supplement during pregnancy to prevent type 1 diabetes in the unborn child? Two new scientific studies, one from Lund University in Sweden, and another from Finland, suggest so. The research groups have analysed blood samples from umbilical cords and compared the level of a group of fats known as phospholipids. The results of the studies show that low levels of pho

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a new way to capture energy from sunlight – by using molecules that contain iron. The results are presented in the latest issue of Nature Chemistry. The hope is to develop efficient and environmentally friendly solar energy applications. Solar energy is an inexhaustible resource that we currently only utilise to a very limited extent. Researchers

 Africa is home to some of the fastest growing economies in the world while juggling an expanding interest from especially China and India to invest in the continent. Financial investments from these actors are have already turned into new roads and train tracks along with job openings and previously unseen opportunities in Africa. The question is if the surging capital flow is benefiting Africans

In preparing for the University’s jubilee year which starts on 19 December, Lund University is now publishing a popular science book entitled “Lund University over 350 Years – History and Stories”. The book is about the University’s journey from a small provincial academy with 14 professors and 80 students to the major international university that it is today, recurrently ranked among the top 100

Alzheimer’s disease can lead to several widely divergent symptoms and, so far, its various expressions have mainly been observed through the behaviour and actions of patients. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now produced images showing the changes in the brain associated with these symptoms – a development which increases knowledge and could facilitate future diagnostics and treatmen

For the first time, researchers are able to prove that there is an optimal speed for certain insects when they fly. At this speed, they are the most efficient and consume the least amount of energy. Corresponding phenomena have previously been demonstrated in birds, but never among insects. Previous studies of bumblebees have shown that they consume as much energy in forward flight as when they ho

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside - even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of different bird

In competition with about ten other European consortia, Lund University and collaborators have received a research grant of approximately 150 million SEK. The money, which is given by the European Union, will be complemented by funding from the pharmaceutical industry. The funding will be used to advance in the battle against complications caused by diabetic diseases. In addition to Lund Universit

A common variant of the melatonin receptor gene increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This discovery was made by two research groups at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC), and reveals a completely new mechanism underlying diabetes. The finding, presented in the latest issue of the scientific journal Nature Genetics, also opens a new avenue for treating the disease. Finding that Mel

A study at Lund University reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta — a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest that vascular dysfunction could be an early driver in neurodegenerative disorders rather than being caused by neuronal damage. The study is published in Acta Neuropathologica.

Through a simple, inexpensive five-minute test, one can obtain an initial indication of whether a child has ADHD or not. This is demonstrated by a research team at Lund University, connecting the changes in the cerebellum associated with ADHD to a finger-tapping test. The test can be used as a complement to existing diagnostic methods. ADHD is considered the most common neurodevelopmental disorder
