An international consensus report on diabetes identifies the potential for diabetes screening, better classification of type 2 diabetes, and biomarkers that can predict cardiovascular disease. The report also highlights that more evidence is needed before it is possible to provide individualised treatment to all patients. The report is based on a large collaboration between 28 universities worldwi

A growing body of research shows that diabetes can be stratified into five different subgroups. Researchers at Lund University have now investigated whether a person’s genetic predisposition to different diabetes subgroups can help assess the risk of developing coronary artery disease. The team created genetic risk scores and found that the scores for one subgroup could predict coronary artery dis

Being able to predict diseases before they develop has become somewhat akin to the search for the Holy Grail. The difference is that research has a greater chance of success in finding what they are looking for than King Arthur's knights did. And in many cases, there are significant health benefits to being able to predict disease risk early: prevention is better than cure. Biomarkers are trace el

For decades, doctors have warned parents that too much TV can harm children’s development. After all, television is one of the main activities in kids’ daily lives, and school performance plays a crucial role in shaping their future opportunities in the job market. It’s no wonder that physicians and educators have long been concerned about how hours spent in front of the screen might affect learni

The 'Sustainable Idea Exploration' call is an opportunity for researchers at Lund University to explore the innovative potential of their research and finance activities outside the scope of existing research projects. Its aim is to support the development of early innovative ideas from research projects that can contribute to sustainability. Four projects have now been granted funding in the call

An investigational stem cell-based therapy for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, STEM-PD, has been given regulatory approval for a Phase I/IIa clinical trial. Ethical approval of the trial has already been obtained from the Swedish Ethics Review Authority, and the STEM-PD team, led from Lund University in Sweden, is thereby ready to proceed with the trial. “We are excited and looking forward t

There is a large carton of chicken eggs on the bench in Sofie Mohlin's laboratory. They have been delivered during the morning and soon they will be placed in the 37-degree heat of the incubator so that the embryo can develop. Already 42 hours after fertilization, researchers can begin their experiments to study how neuroblastoma develops. Sofie Mohlin is an Associate Professor in Molecular Physio

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund and Malmö universities in Sweden have measured a biomarker in cell-free blood plasma which can be linked to an overactive stress system in suicidal individuals. This biomarker can hopefully be used in future psychiatric studies. “We don’t expect the marker to be able to predict who will try to comm

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In certain forms of cancer, connective tissue forms around and within the tumour. One previously unproven theory is that there are several different types of connective tissue cells with different functions, which affect the development of the tumour in different ways.
