A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has identified a protein in the blood that could predict type 2 diabetes up to nineteen years before the onset of the disease. The study is published in Nature Communications. Type 2 diabetes is a growing global epidemic, with 6% of the world population suffering from the disease. However, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be greatly reduced

In order to achieve the 1.5-degree target set by the Paris Agreement, massive cuts in carbon emissions are needed. For the EU, this requires a reduction of household carbon footprints from 2015 of almost 70% by 2030 and over 90% by 2050. Too often, climate policies are not placed within a broader social context and policy makers neglect to see that welfare policies are vital to climate mitigation.

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv

The Pereira research group has previously shown that it is possible to reprogram human skin cells into dendritic cells that strengthen the immune system. However, the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells has been shown to be very low. New studies now indicate that there are ways to increase the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells by over 75%. These findings provide mechanistic insights into h
