Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people. In recent years, ketamine has emerged as a new treatment for depression, after studies have shown it to be a fast-acting antidepressant. “

Previous research from Lund University has shown that diabetes can be divided into five groups with different disease progression. A new study published in Nature Genetics demonstrates that there are also genetic differences between different groups of patients. An important goal of the research is to contribute with knowledge that will enable tailored treatments of patients with type 2 diabetes.
A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure.
