Do epigenetic changes cause type 2 diabetes, or do the changes occur only after a person has become ill? A new study by researchers at Lund University provides increased support for the idea that epigenetic changes can cause type 2 diabetes. The researchers behind the new findings published in Nature Communications now aim to develop methods for disease prevention. We inherit our genes from our pa

How might low-grade inflammation be linked to depression? New research findings show that depression can be alleviated when patients with mild elevations of inflammatory markers in blood samples take omega-3 supplements. The antidepresssant effect was greater in those with low-grade inflammation than in those with no inflammation. “We saw a significant improvement in symptom severity,” says resear

Many of us have digital maps at our fingertips in our smartphones, but these maps are not adapted to guide us when walking or finding our way in new environments, for example, as tourists in an unfamiliar big city. Creating such maps requires in-depth knowledge about map design which can be further improved by using new technology that can process large amounts of data. “We are collaborating with

A growing body of research shows that diabetes can be stratified into five different subgroups. Researchers at Lund University have now investigated whether a person’s genetic predisposition to different diabetes subgroups can help assess the risk of developing coronary artery disease. The team created genetic risk scores and found that the scores for one subgroup could predict coronary artery dis
