In the past decade, knowledge of how lifestyle affects our genes, a research field called epigenetics, has grown exponentially. Researchers at Lund University have summarised the state of scientific knowledge within epigenetics linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes in a review article published in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism. Epigenetic mechanisms control the activity of different genes

A key goal of public health systems is to reduce existing socioeconomic disparities in health. Yet, the economic incentives facing healthcare providers sometimes work in the other direction. Specifically, when providers are remunerated by a fixed sum for taking the overall responsibility for a given patient, they are incentivised to avoid or undertreat patients whose care needs are relatively larg

Pancreatic cancer is currently very difficult to detect while it is still resectable. A new blood test developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, Herlev Hospital, Knight Cancer Center and Immunovia AB, can detect pancreatic cancer in the very earliest stages of the disease. The results have been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Due to diffuse symptoms, pancreatic cancer i

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte
