This has been shown in a major study by researchers at Lund University. The researchers also found epigenetic changes of a large number of genes that contribute to reduced insulin production. “This shows that the ris

The Pereira research group has previously shown that it is possible to reprogram human skin cells into dendritic cells that strengthen the immune system. However, the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells has been shown to be very low. New studies now indicate that there are ways to increase the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells by over 75%. These findings provide mechanistic insights into h

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Att den mentala förmågan starkt försämras när blodsockret faller för lågt är väl känt. Nu visar en ny studie på skolbarn att riktigt höga blodsocker har precis lika negativa effekt på tankeförmågan.

Under covid-19 pandemin ökade antalet fall av typ 1-diabetes i Sverige mer än förväntat – framförall hos barn under fem år och unga vuxna män. Hos barn mellan fem och nio år påskyndade infektionen insjuknandet i diabetes. Under 17 år följde forskarna förekomsten av typ 1-diabetes bland alla personer under 30 år i Sverige, för att uppskatta risken att utveckla diabetes efter en covid-19-infektion.
