This year’s Nordic Prize from the Fernström Foundation – one of the largest medical prizes in Scandinavia– is awarded to two cancer researchers, Jiri Bartek and Jiri Lukas, for their research on cellular responses to DNA damage. Genetically damaged cells that cannot repair their genomes without mistakes pose a major risk of cancer and other diseases. Every year, the Eric K. Fernström Foundation pr

In a recent study from the Netherlands, researchers investigated whether PRP has any effect on ankle osteoarthritis. In a new study, treatment with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for ankle osteoarthritis has been investigated. The study lasted for one year and involved 100 participants, with half randomly assigned to receive PRP treatment and the remaining participants receiving a placebo treatment. E

In a chapter on ‘European Communion and Planetary Organic Crisis’, Ian Manners argues that economic, social, ecological, conflictual, and political crises of the EU are not separate, but part of the same planetary crisis. The most common way of theorising the European Union’s crises is to see them as, at best, a run of ‘bad luck’, or at worst as ‘multiple challenges’. This chapter brings two very

It has been suggested that high intake of added sugar and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) increase the level of circulating inflammatory proteins and that chronic inflammation plays a role in type 2 diabetes (T2D) development. We aim to examine how added sugar and SSB intake associate with 136 measured plasma proteins and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the Malmö Diet and Cancer–Cardiovascular Cohort

A recently discovered estrogen receptor in the insulin-producing cells may facilitate targeted diabetes treatment for women. The type 2 diabetes drugs that are currently available on the market have often only been tested on men. The identification of this new receptor may also explain why type 2 diabetes is less common in women than in men. "Estrogen is thought to have an important anti-diabetic

A method for detecting early signs of Alzheimer’s disease using amyloid PET imaging works as well as the previously used cerebrospinal fluid sample method. This is the conclusion of a new Lund University study - the most thorough and extensive undertaken in the field so far. The most commonly used tools for investigating early signs of Alzheimer’s disease in Swedish public healthcare are various c

In an international collaboration led by Lund University in Sweden, researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes. The technique shows the 3D-structure of nerve fibers in very high resolution. “This knowledge can be used to map mechanisms for how nerve fibers atrophy and grow back. It means that we can better understand how diabetes affects the nerves in t

Sara Linse, Professor of Biochemistry and Structural Biology, has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant worth 2.5 million euro. Chemistry professor Sara Linse’s research project, CHAPLIN, is to investigate the thermodynamic basis for how a group of chaperone proteins work. This applies to chaperone proteins that increase other proteins’ solubility and thereby protect against neurogenerative diseases
