Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Tarmflorans roll för sjukdom och hälsa har seglat upp som ett av vår tids hetaste forskningsområden. I sin avhandling har Louise Brunkwall, nutritionist och doktorand vid Lunds universitet, studerat övervikt, fetma och kostens betydelse i relation till våra tarmbakterier.  Fetma uppkommer när energiintaget i det vi

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Metformin är ett läkemedel som ska sänka blodsockret vid typ 2-diabetes. En tredjedel av patienterna svarar inte på behandlingen och en tredjedel upplever allvarliga biverkningar, varför många väljer att sluta medicinera. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum utvecklat, och sökt patent på, en markör

Patients born with heart defects experience their first acute heart attack at a significantly earlier age than others. This is shown by a new national study from Lund University in Sweden. However, despite this earlier onset of illness, there is no difference in survival rates or the risk of further heart attacks between those with congenital heart defects and others. The study includes 214 patien

With over 15 research groups dedicated to Alzheimer’s disease research, MultiPark’s goal is to understand the origins of the disease, develop early diagnostics, and improve treatments. The multidisciplinary approach sheds light on the disease from several angles, bridging basic research with clinical investigations. Here are five projects. September is World Alzheimer’s Month. Globally, around 40

Simon Boas, who wrote a candid account of living with cancer, passed away on July 15 at the age of 47. In a recent BBC interview, the former aid worker told the reporter: “My pain is under control and I’m terribly happy – it sounds weird to say, but I’m as happy as I’ve ever been in my life.”It may seem odd that a person could be happy as the end draws near, but in my experience as a clinical psyc

Sprutbytet i Malmö startade för 35 år sedan och var då ett kontroversiellt projekt. Fram till 2006 var det förbjudet i svensk lag att bedriva sprutbyte på andra orter än Lund och Malmö. Men forskningen kring smittspridning talar sitt tydliga språk och idag finns sprutbyte på ett flertal platser i Sverige. Här erbjuds en svårnådd grupp behandling och på sikt en drogfri tillvaro.

Visible matter in the universe represents only five per cent of everything that exists. The rest is invisible dark matter and dark energy. Particle physicist Ruth Pöttgen is one of the Lund University researchers involved in the search for the mysterious dark matter of the universe. She is standing at her whiteboard in a small office at Fysicum. With the help of her pen, Ruth Pöttgen tries to pain

An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20 000 genes in the human body control their growth. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied close to 15 000 of these genes alongside each other. The researchers have succeeded in identifying four key genes which, together, govern the growth and multiplication

In healthcare, treatments developed for broad patient groups are often used. This is not always an effective approach. Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova has therefore distributed research grants to eleven Swedish innovation environments whose research aims to develop more individually adapted healthcare for patients.

The metal recycling industry is growing, not least due to the use of metals in green energy electronic components. Researchers at Lund University have examined the inhaled air of workers at 13 recycling companies in Sweden. Among the results, high levels of lead in air and elevated levels of multiple metals were detected in the blood of those who work in recycling. Different forms of metals are in
