How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th
Emily Sonestedt investigates how food affects the health and the risk to develop type 2 diabetes. This knowledge is of importance to society when developing food-based dietary guidelines. It can be hard to make healthy food choices. The bread rolls behind the counter in the café at Clinical Research Centre (CRC) in Malmö have a dark color, but it does not have to mean that they are a healthy choic

Linnéa Jönsson and Patrik Nilsson were two of the PhD students who seized the opportunity to have a research visit financed by NanoLund last year. This is a support that NanoLundians – PhD students as well as senior scientists – can apply for at any time. “Do it! You have to take the opportunity to do something like this if you get the chance,” says Linnéa Jönsson. As a researcher at NanoLund, you

“Do you want to see what a box jellyfish sees and experiences when it rides a roller-coaster?” “We humans believe that what we see is reality, but it isn’t.

Spending time in the sun can make us both healthier and happier. But too much as well as too little sun can cause serious health problems. How much sun is right for you depends, among other things, on your genes, how much pigment you have, and where in the world you are. “We need to find a balance. I think we should continue to enjoy the sun in moderation – that is often good for us. But anyone wh
