Tio procent av alla barn som föds i Sverige har en förhöjd ärftlig risk att drabbas av autoimmun diabetes, typ 1-diabetes. Men vad påverkar om sjukdomen utvecklas eller inte? Tusentals skånska barn och deras föräldrar har i flera studier bidragit till att forskarna kommit närmare svaren. Av de cirka 5 000 barn som föds per år i landet med en förhöjd risk att utveckla typ 1-diabetes kommer runt 350

Kan man ge bebisar ”snälla bakterier” och därigenom förebygga diabetes typ 1? De studier som gjorts hittills har varit för små för att svara på det. Men nu pågår en stor multicenterstudie till vilken skånska nyfödda barn inkluderas, och som vill ge tydligare svar. Det är något av ett mysterium. Antalet barn som insjuknar i diabetes typ 1 är mycket högre idag än för 20 år sedan, men ingen vet rikti

Barnläkaren Daniel Agardh har i många år studerat sambandet mellan celiaki, typ 1-diabetes och på senare år även sköldkörtelinflammation − tre autoimmuna sjukdomar som ofta förekommer tillsammans i familjer där ett barn insjuknat. Nu driver han nya forskningsprojekt för att försöka förhindra att sjukdomarna bryter ut. − Det känns jättebra att kunna arbeta mot ett konkret mål. Grundforskningen har

En viktig målsättning med precisionsmedicin är att minska risken för fel och att göra rekommendationer inom hälso- och sjukvården mer träffsäkra, men för att nå hela vägen krävs bättre evidens. Ett internationellt konsortium lett av Paul Franks vid Lunds universitet presenterar nya riktlinjer som kan bidra till att öka den kliniska relevansen av forskning inom precisionsmedicin. Författarna till e

Personer med typ 2-diabetes har ökad risk för hjärt-kärlsjukdomar och förtida död till följd av åderförfettning och forskare söker efter förklaringar till detta. Ett forskarlag vid Lunds universitet har nu identifierat molekylära mekanismer som kan förklara den ökade risken. Deras upptäckt kan leda till mer träffsäkra behandlingar mot åderförfettning i samband med typ 2-diabetes. Individer med typ

Under sin mer än 50-åriga karriär har diabetesforskaren Åke Lernmark gjort flera betydande upptäckter som har ökat kunskapen om typ 1-diabetes. Hans forskning bidrar till att skapa förutsättningar för ett nationellt screeningprogram i Sverige. I Sverige insjuknar omkring 1000 barn och lika många vuxna i typ 1-diabetes varje år. Sjukdomen får stora konsekvenser för de familjer som drabbas. Barn med

LUCSUS researchers spent the last four years collaborating with Indigenous communities in Colombia to document how traditional knowledge can support biocultural diversity and wildlife in the Amazon. The project culminated in a final workshop in February 2026. Global discussions on protecting the Amazon rainforest often focus on carbon storage and forest cover. In a recent study, Torsten Krause and

Using surface water to heat and cool buildings can make Europe’s heating systems more sustainable and reduce dependence on imported natural gas. But efforts are needed to make the technology more large-scale, according to researchers Sara Brogaard and Barry Ness from LUCSUS. Today, natural gas is the main source of heating in central Europe, which causes large carbon dioxide emissions. In Sweden,

Nation states should take the lead in governing and deploying carbon capture and storage technologies and use them to mitigate emissions from hard-to-abate industries such as iron, steel, cement or chemical production. This approach can contribute to both sustainable development and climate justice according to a new thesis from Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies. “If we collectivel
