Precision medicine aims to deliver the right treatment to the right person at the right time. What does this mean for people with type 2 diabetes? Some of the research at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) focuses on the progression of type 2 diabetes to help develop more targeted treatments. Epigenetics can become a useful tool when diabetes care is tailored to the individual. People with typ

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

Martin Stenlo’s PhD thesis aims to improve the intensive care of lung patients as well as to increase the health status of transplantable donor lungs which will improve the success rate of lung transplantation. He is defending his thesis on the 12th of November and in this interview he tells us about his translational research and his time as a PhD student. It can’t be an easy task to combine a fu

In May, screening for colorectal cancer will be offered in Skåne to all those born in 1961. Subsequently, Swedes aged 60 to 74 will be tested for blood in their faeces, to detect cancer at an early stage. Once all regions in Sweden have introduced the screening, at least 300 lives are expected to be saved per year. Sweden has been slow to introduce screening; this spring, Skåne will become the thi

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

Close proximity between the laboratory and the clinic, an identity that is tied to the division and not only to the different research groups, and lunch conversations about everything between heaven and earth. Thoas Fioretos, Felix Mitelman and Fredrik Mertens. According to three professors, these are some of the reasons why the Division of Clinical Genetics within the Department of Laboratory Med

Veterinarian in charge Anders Forslid is retiring after 30 years working to improve the welfare of research animals at Lund University. He has witnessed a paradigm shift in animal health and animal experiments, and the way animal testing and humans’ obligations are viewed has changed. When Anders Forslid started out as a laboratory animal veterinarian at Lund University, he received a fairly cool

Ceremonies have a certain power that speaks more to the emotions than to the intellect. This is the opinion of the newly inaugurated vice-chancellor Erik Renström, who sees the value in academic traditions. In his management team, however, new winds are blowing, bringing with them the values of “integrity” and “character” and a pro vice-chancellor who is specially tasked with working on these aspe

The research quality evaluation, RQ20, is now in full swing. The evaluation-fatigue that project leaders Freddy Ståhlberg and Mats Benner expected to see among their university colleagues has not materialised. “We have encountered a strong engagement and interest!” The 200 or so external advisors for the 32 panels are appointed and the 156 research environments are organised. In January, the self-

Säg ”Primula” och en del tänker på en blomma. Andra tänker på ett lönesystem vars användarvänlighet lämnar en del övrigt att önska. Men när systemet började utvecklas under 1990-talet var det supermodernt – och något som lärosätena själva tagit fram.
