A €1.8 million EU grant will fund new research into the challenges of promoting good governance and the rule of law in non-Western societies. In May, the European Commission's HORIZON Programme confirmed the funding for Rustamjon Urinboyev's research and training program "The Political Economy of Legal and Governance Reform in Non-Western Societies: Insights from Central Asia". The project starts

En del kan man själv påverka och behandla - exempelvis höga blodfetter, högt blodtryck eller rökning – medan andra är förutbestämda – som ålder och kön. Till den senare kategorin hör också ärftlighet.

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har i en ny observationsstudie tittat på samtliga fall av hjärttransplantationer hos barn under 18 år i Norden mellan 1986 och 2023. Totalt 597 barn ingick i studien, varav 461 transplanterades. Resultaten visar att överlevnaden ökat markant – en utveckling som forskarna kopplar till tekniska framsteg, avancerad teknik och bättre rutiner i vården. Kort om studien:597
