More than half a billion people are affected by type 2 diabetes – and the number is growing. In a recent publication in the journal Small, researchers explain how nanoelectroporation can be used to deliver molecules that can affect insulin expression through epigenetic means, potentially leading to new treatments. Genetics cannot explain type 2 diabetes, and epigenetics (i.e. chemical modification

New biomarkers are making it easier to detect Alzheimer’s disease and improve diagnosis, which is increasingly important as new treatments become available. MultiPark researchers are also developing an AI model that could detect several dementia-related conditions from a single blood test. At the same time, MultiPark researchers are exploring how dementia might be prevented, including why brain in

Recently published findings from Lund University in Sweden challenge a common assumption about the causes of fatigue in teenage girls. The researchers found no link between iron deficiency and fatigue, even though iron deficiency was very common in the group. By contrast, heavy periods, skipping meals and daily nicotine use were linked to higher levels of self-reported tiredness in the group. We h

In 2022, the world's nations achieved a "Paris Agreement for nature" — the Kunming-Montreal Framework, negotiated during COP15 in Canada. Now, the follow-up meeting, COP16, is set to take place in Cali, Colombia. What is Sweden’s position ahead of this meeting, and what policy processes are underway for the implementation of the framework? And where does research fit into all of this? We posed a f

In a recently published review article from Lund University researchers have analysed the incidence of caesarean sections in different European countries. The results show that private hospitals in several countries have a higher proportion of caesarean sections than public hospitals, even among women in low-risk groups. The caesarean section rate varied from around 17 per cent in northern Europe

For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defence mechanism in aggressive brain tumours: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumour cells and protects them against a particularly destructive form of cell death. Aggressive brain tumours grow in an extreme environment characterised by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, low pH and chronic cellular stress. Insid
