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

Immune Thrombocytopenia, ITP, is an autoimmune bleeding disorder that is still treated with immunosuppressive drugs that cause serious side effects. Professor John Semple’s laboratory studies the pathophysiological mechanisms behind this disease and together with Dr. Drew Provan, London, UK, has recently published the newest ideas on pathological mechanisms and therapies for the treatment and mana

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. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group
