Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Den kraftiga ökningen av typ 1 diabetes beror på att alltfler barn med lägre genetisk risk drabbas idag. Så var det inte för några decennier sedan. Den mest sannolika förklaringen är att någonting har gjort vår omgivning mer "diabetesframkallande". Det är forskare från Melbourne Hospital i Australien som har kartlag

Idag lever cirka 250 000 svenskar med hjärtsvikt. Nu startar den största Skandinaviska randomiserade studien någonsin som ska undersöka sambandet mellan selenbrist och hjärtsvikt. Drygt 4 300 hjärtsviktspatienter från totalt 22 sjukhus i Sverige och Norge deltar i studien. Selen är ett viktigt och naturligt förekommande grundämne i marken, som vi får i oss genom maten. Eftersom jorden i Norden oft

​​​​​​​Did you know that about 70% of rare diseases begin in childhood? How about that 1 in 5 cancers are considered a rare disease? Or that nearly three-quarters of all rare diseases are genetic diseases? With more than 6,000 rare diseases known to impact the lives of an estimated 300 million people around the world – rare diseases are all too common. Limited knowledge of these diseases often res

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

A discussion on semiconductors was on the agenda in Almedalen. The dialogue, hosted by LTH at Lund University, addressed how Sweden can contribute to the efforts being made in Europe. One of the conclusions of the discussion was “the crisper the proposal – the more policy influence”. Semiconductors are a strategically important component of today’s and tomorrow’s society.
