The large-eyed bristle worm Vanadis has long been of interest to the world’s vision researchers. But the worm has been difficult to study since it lives in the open sea and is active at night. Now, a research team has succeeded in locating an Italian worm colony and is able to confirm that the worm has completely unique vision. Bristle worms are a group of annelid worms that mostly live in the sea

For six months, Jennifer Rainsford will be Artist in Residence at MAX IV – and will explore the research laboratories for synchrotron light. Inside the ring-shaped MAX IV building on the outskirts of Lund, extremely intense X-ray light known as synchrotron light is produced. The light, which is not visible to the naked eye, is used by researchers from around the globe to study materials, molecules

For hundreds of years, people have made a living from livestock herding in rural Kenya. Today, their traditional way of life is increasingly burdened by the effects of climate change and population growth. In his doctoral thesis, Billy Jones examines why development aid projects in the region often fail – and how sustainable progress could instead be achieved with the help of local actors. Thirtee

En internationell konsensusrapport om precisionsmedicin inom diabetes ser bland annat potential inom screening av diabetes, bättre klassificering av typ 2-diabetes och biomarkörer som kan förutse hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Författarna konstaterar också att det behövs mer evidens för att skräddarsydda behandlingar ska nå alla patienter. Rapporten bygger på ett stort samarbete mellan 28 universitet i

Epigenetiken har gett forskare nya möjligheter att förstå orsakerna bakom typ 2-diabetes och hur sjukdomen utvecklas. I framtiden kan epigenetiska biomarkörer användas för att förutspå sjukdomen och individanpassa behandlingen. Forskare inom diabetes och epigenetik vid Lunds universitet sammanfattar de viktigaste framstegen i en översiktsartikel som publiceras i Nature Reviews Endocrinology. Orsak

Överviktskirurgi har i många studier lyfts fram som en näst intill magisk metod för viktnedgång och tillbakagång av typ 2-diabetes. En fråga som i stort sett har lämnats obesvarad är huruvida effekten av kirurgi skiljer sig från de effekter man får av en sträng lågkaloridiet. Detta har nu forskare vid Lunds universi

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Många kvinnor drabbas av lymfödem till följd av bröstcanceroperation. Ödemet kan ibland vara svårbehandlat med traditionella metoder. En ny avhandling från Lunds universitet ger ytterligare belägg för att operation med fettsugning är en väl fungerande metod som främjar livskvaliteten. Varje år får omkring 9 000 kvin
