Att diabetiker jämfört med icke-diabetiker löper större risk att drabbas av allvarliga infektioner är känt sedan tidigare. Mindre känt är vilken roll blodsockernivåerna spelar. Nu visar en stor brittisk studie att infektionsrisken är större ju högre långtidsvärdet (HbA1c) för blodsockret är. Detta gäller i synnerhet vid typ 1 diabetes. Forskarna registrerade alla infektioner som krävde antingen lä

För några tusen år sedan ökade en tidigare ovanlig genetisk variant snabbt i befolkningen. Då kunde den betyda skillnaden mellan överlevnad eller undergång. I dagens samhälle bidrar samma genvariant till övervikt och diabetes. Enligt forskare på Stanford universitet i Kalifornien, USA, uppstod den moderna riskvarianten genom en mutation för mellan 2 000 och 12 000 år sedan. Den var ovanlig så läng

The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is awarding SEK 700 million to 23 innovative basic research projects at Swedish universities. Four of them are based in Lund – and two are connected to NanoLund. Sara Linse will study disease-preventing proteins – and Mathieu Gisselbrecht will study the quantum mechanical phenomenon entanglement. This year, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is awardi

An influenza infection in birds gives a good protection against other subtypes of the virus, like a natural vaccination, according to a new study. Water birds, in particular mallards, are often carriers of low-pathogenic influenza A virus. Researchers previously believed that birds infected by one variant of the virus could not benefit from it by building up immunity against other virus subtypes.

A new analytical model for e-sports developed by researchers in Sweden, Denmark and Germany, not only helps game developers better understand how players perform, but can also predict the outcome of the game. E-sports is the term used for the increasingly popular phenomenon of competitive computer and video gaming, where individuals or teams play against each other in various online environments.

Through cooperation, animals are able to colonise harsher living environments that would otherwise be inaccessible, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, together with researchers in England and USA. The research community has long believed this was the other way around - that species in tough environments had to cooperate to survive. As a result the established view of why anim

A new study may have uncovered why wall lizards have become the most successful reptile in the Mediterranean region. The results reveal how drastic changes in sea levels and climate 6 million years ago affected species formation in the area. The researchers believe they can now explain why the lizards became so diverse and widespread, something that has puzzled biologists since the 19th century. T

The University has conducted a travel habits survey and a mobility analysis in order to assess possibilities for all the University’s staff to travel sustainably to and from the workplace. Results from the two studies show that most of the University’s staff already have the option to use public transport, walk or cycle to the workplace. Through several measures, the University can increase the pe
