I Efter-TEDDY ska TEDDY-barn som har insjuknat i typ 1 diabetes följas. Forskarna har sett att ju tidigare diagnos desto bättre prognos. Har de rätt skulle konsekvensen kunna bli en ny definition av när insjuknandet verkligen inträffar. Med det skulle en lindrande behandling starta tidigare och barnen få ett mildare insjuknande. - Vi vet att en diagnos så tidigt att barnet inte ens har symtom gör

En ny studie från Karolinska Institutet och Ludwiginstitutet för cancerforskning visar att slumpen styr om det är genkopian du ärvt från mamma eller pappa som används i dina celler något som i sin tur kan vara avgörande för risken att drabbas av en ärftlig sjukdom eller inte. Forskningen, som presenteras i tidskriften Science, kan förklara varför sjukdom bara uppkommer hos vissa individer, även om

Ända sedan 1700-talet har det funnits handböcker i konsten att leva länge. De råd böckerna för fram har vi också alla hört: att vara måttlig i sitt leverne, sova regelbundet, leva ett aktivt liv och vara mycket ute i friska luften. Men hur välgrundade är dessa råd? Inte så värst, visar det sig. – Det finns en hel del forskning idag om ”superhundraåringarna”, människor som bevisligen levt mer än 11

Med ett enkelt blodprov ska det gå att avgöra vem som riskerar att drabbas av sjukdom i hjärta, kärl eller lungor. Det är ett av målen när SCAPIS, Sveriges hittills största befolkningsstudie på området, startar i Göteborg. 30 000 personer i hela landet ska undersökas i studien som drivs av Hjärt-Lungfonden i samarbete med universitetssjukhusen. SCAPIS står för Swedish CardioPulmonary bioImage Stud

Magdalena Götz, a professor of physiology at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, held the prestigious Segerfalk lecture last year. The discovery she made as a young researcher started the new field of direct reprogramming to replace degenerated neurons. Magdalena Götz was about to start her lab and was in the process of conducting a control experiment. What she observed was unexpected. Rather

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

This year's prestigious Segerfalk lecture will be given by Eero Castrén, Research Director at the Neuroscience Centre at the University of Helsinki. In his research on brain plasticity, he has discovered clues about which mechanisms in the brain are affected by antidepressants – and they could explain why these medicines work. Eero Castrén conducts research on brain plasticity and is primarily int

Obesity and excess weight increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but individuals of normal weight can also develop the disease. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that it is possible to identify at-risk individuals by measuring BMI in a new way. The authors of the study have identified metabolic changes associated with obesity that can increase the risk of developin

At the end of March, the first cases of acute severe hepatitis of unknown origin in children were reported in the UK. Since then, the number has increased to more than 300 in around 20 countries; there are now reports of nine suspected cases in Sweden. The acute liver infection mainly affects otherwise completely healthy children under the age of 16, which puzzles researchers who are now searching

Epigenetics has become an important tool for researchers endeavoring to understand the causes and development stages of type 2 diabetes. In the future, epigenetic biomarkers could be used to predict type 2 diabetes and individualise its treatment. Diabetes and epigenetics researchers at Lund University summarise some of the most important advancements in a review article published in Nature Review

In order to be able to prescribe the appropriate dose of physical activity to patients, healthcare professionals need to consider a range of individual factors. There is a need to facilitate the assessment of aerobic capacity i. e. maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max), as well as to calculate the intensity of training according to the WHO recommendations for physical activity. Now, researchers
