Impaired insulin secretion is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, but the process is not yet fully understood. A new study by researchers at Lund University shows that the Piezo1 ion channel regulates insulin secretion, which means it may be an important target for new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes often occurs because the pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce enough effective in

An international consensus report on diabetes identifies the potential for diabetes screening, better classification of type 2 diabetes, and biomarkers that can predict cardiovascular disease. The report also highlights that more evidence is needed before it is possible to provide individualised treatment to all patients. The report is based on a large collaboration between 28 universities worldwi

New research highlights how coastal planning and environmental restoration overlook social needs, cultural claims and existing vulnerabilities. Using Louisiana’s coastal wetlands as a case, researcher David O’Byrne argues that it is high time to turn away from a narrowly economic approach to coastal restoration, and instead focus on improving people’s quality of life, which is dependent on ecologi

Using harmless viruses to insert genes that produce healthy, healing substances into the brain... transplanting cells, possibly from the patient’s own skin... or, most sci-fi of all, controlling special treated nerve cells with light signals in the brain. These are three different paths to a possible treatment for epilepsy that are being tested by a research group in Lund. To help them, the resear

Nordic and Andean countries started their economic modernisation in the same way: with export of raw natural resources. Later on, Norway and Sweden became rich, while Bolivia, Chile and Peru followed a quite different path. What made them diverge from the common road? Different fiscal policies may be one of the reasons, new research from Lund University suggests. In the mid-19th century, Norway ex

Ebba Brink, postdoctoral researcher at LUCSUS, is doing research about climate change risk and adaptation in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The current coronavirus pandemic has forced her to come back to Sweden, and move her research online. She reflects on how the outbreak has made the right-wing Bolsonaro government’s polarizing politics and disregard for science even more obvious, and o

There are delicious smells emanating from the kitchen at the Malmö apartment of nutrition physiologist, Louise Brunkwall. Today, she is making pasta and vegetable sauce for lunch. A clean up before the interview with LUM means she can no longer find anything in the kitchen cupboards: “Usually there is always some kind of organised chaos here!” Louise Brunkwall knew from an early age that she wante

Two years have passed since Swedish universities, LUSEM included, almost overnight went from campus to remote teaching. How did it go? We met up with Blerim Emruli, senior lecturer in Informatics at LUSEM and Qlik Educator Ambassador. We wanted to get a glimpse of his current thoughts on digital education. Blerim Emruli teaches and researches artificial intelligence, decision support systems and b

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

The battle for real democracy in the Middle East will largely be decided in schools. The role of education in a democracy was also the theme of a workshop in Alexandria, where Swedish researchers met their Egyptian counterparts. The USI network organised the event on a hot topic in a country that needs to fight for democracy if it is to take root.   “Democracy in Egypt isn’t going to work unless p

The quest to control the remarkable phenomena of quantum physics is ongoing around the world. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is making the subject even hotter. Lund University is also involved in exploring the unknown – and at times mind-boggling – perspectives of quantum states. Mathieu Gisselbrecht, senior lecturer in Physics, leads the way down the basement corridor of the Laser Centre at F
