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

Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

For over 20 years, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied the common bluetail damselfly. Females occur in three different colour forms – one with a male-like appearance, something that protects them from mating harassment. In a new study, an international research team found that this genetic colour variation that is shared between several species arose through changes in a speci

The environment in which breast cancer arises –the interplay between the patient’s BMI, tumour size and cancer-specific proteins –is of importance for the prognosis. This is shown in a study from Lund University in Sweden. The knowledge could further enhance precision medicine in breast cancer.
