An international team of researchers has investigated whether oral insulin can prevent early signs of type 1 diabetes and clinical diagnosis in children with an increased risk of developing the disease. Although treatment with oral insulin could not prevent development of diabetes-related autoantibodies, oral insulin delayed the rate of disease progression in children who developed such autoantibo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Two universities within 20 km of each other will become a reality next year when the higher education institution in Malmö will receive full university status. What this will mean for Lund is unclear. Will the university in Malmö be a complement or a competitor? In Lund, the feeling is cautiously optimistic. Huset Ork

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. "Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS.  He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on

Through her work, Professor Cenci Nilsson has developed preclinical models mimicking the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia, exploiting these models to discover disease mechanisms and new therapeutic approaches. With this motivation, MultiPark’s coordinator was awarded the 2022 Bengt Falck Prize in Neuroscience. In this extensive interview, Angela Cenci Nilsson shares he

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden are testing a treatment for type 2 diabetes which targets the disease mechanism itself - and not just the symptoms. For the first time, knowledge about the individual patient’s genetic risk profile is being used. The treatment completely restores the capacity to secrete insulin

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
