Unique mapping of methylome in insulin-producing islets

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Throughout our lives, our genes are affected by the way we live. Diet, exercise, age and diseases create imprints that are stored in something called methylome. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have been able to map the entire methylome in the pancreatic islets whic

Successful research funded by the European Research Council

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Six researchers from Lund University Diabetes Centre have recieved prestigous grants from the European Research Council (ERC). In order to celebrate the success we invited the public to an open seminar. Some of the talks can be reviewed here (in Swedish). Forskning för bättre folkhälsa:Framsteg inom typ 2-diabetes, fe

From injections to pills - the research on neonatal diabetes

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. They govern everything we think and do, they give us the ability to feel pain and to secrete insulin: they are the ion channels that are present in every one of our cells and that control the electrical impulses in our nerve and muscle cells. “For me, they are the very spark of life”, says Dame Frances Ashcroft, profe

The role of vitamin A in diabetes

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There has been no known link between diabetes and vitamin A -- until now. A new study suggests that the vitamin improves the insulin producing β-cell´s function.The researchers initially discovered that insulin-producing beta-cells contain a large quantity of a cell surface receptor for vitamin A. "There are no unnece

New research describes the differences between mice and humans

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Research from King’s College in London, UK, and Lund University in Sweden could explain why diabetes drugs which have worked in animal experiments are not equally successful in humans. The researchers discovered differences – but also unknown similarities – in the function of insulin-producing beta cells. The team hav

Newborn babies to be screened for studies on type 1 diabetes and celiac disease (gluten intolerance)

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Can insulin taken as an infant in small doses together with food render the immune system used to insulin and thus prevent type 1 diabetes? Can a gluten-free diet and probiotics prevent celiac disease (so called gluten intolerance)? These questions will be asked by two separate studies that are being planned at Lund U

New drink keeps blood sugar in check

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Food researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that consuming small amounts of chromium mixed with certain amino acids before eating is healthy. Why? Well, this mixture diluted in water suppresses the blood sugar spike that occurs when we eat. Now, they are hoping that the drink – which tastes like ordi

The risk of type 1 diabetes not increased by swine flu vaccine Pandemrix

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There has been a fear that the swine flu vaccine, Pandemrix, would increase the risk of autoimmune diseases other than narcolepsy. However, a new study of children from Sweden and Finland shows that the vaccine increased neither the risk of developing autoantibodies against insulin-producing beta cells nor the occurre

Syret i världshaven minskar – forskare ser farorna och lösningarna

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. De senaste 50 åren har mängden vatten utan syre mer än fyrdubblats i de öppna haven. I kustnära vatten, inklusive flodmynningar och hav, har områden med syrebrist mer än tiodubblats sedan 1950. Att skydda känsliga arter, ta kontroll på övergödning och klimatförändringar samt förbättra spårteknik är några lösningar p
