Diabetes researchers have established methods for screening people with an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Current methods require multiple blood samples during each visit. An international team of researchers has developed a simplified screening method, which will increase screening efficiency. Type 1 diabetes is a disease that requires lifelong treatment with insulin. People of all

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

From a rejected article to world-leading Alzheimer’s research. Kaj Blennow has made it possible to detect Alzheimer’s disease up to 20 years before symptoms appear – an achievement that has not only transformed research but also laid the foundation for new therapies. He has now been awarded the Eric K. Fernström Nordic Prize for his groundbreaking research. Professor Kaj Blennow also enjoys gettin

A large number of lungs donated yearly cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Skåne University Hospital and Lund University have conducted an animal study with results that give hope that more donor lungs could be used to save lives in the future. The researchers have started a pilot study to investigate if the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 190 or

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more reputable the scientific journal, the more expensive it will be to publish an article with Open Access. Research publishers are riding the gravy train, but for the individual researcher the cost often comes as an unpleasant surprise, after they have spent all of their funding.

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Autoantikroppar som föregår typ 1 diabetes går att mäta när som helst i livet. Genom att titta på antalet antikroppar, vilka de är och i hur höga nivåer de finns, kan man tillsammans med den genetiska profilen göra en bedömning av risken för en individ att insjukna i typ 1 diabetes. Här skriver Cecilia Andersson, fo
