Substances in the food we eat stress the insulin-producing beta cells to death. Albert Salehi conducts research on how the beta cells function, and believes in new anti-diabetic drugs that can protect the beta cells and prevent type 2 diabetes. After studying pharmacology at Linköping University, Albert Salehi wanted to go on to study medicine. By chance he came into contact with Professor Ingemar

The focus of Hindrik Mulder’s research is on the metabolism of insulin-producing beta cells. The question he studies is what goes wrong in type 2 diabetes: why do the insulin-producing beta cells fail? Why are they no longer able to release as much insulin as is needed to keep blood sugar levels under control? “The cells’ powerhouses – mitochondria – play a key role in this. The mitochondria give

ANDiS (All New Diabetics in Scania) is a regional research project in southern Sweden. The population of the region is just over one million. All newly diagnosed patients at all ages in the Scania region will be included during 2009-2013.The aim of the registry is to describe the spectrum of diabetes subgroups in southern Sweden and to link genetic and phenotypic information at diagnosis of diabet

Non-coding RNAs in beta cell insulin secretion - emerging players in Type 2 Diabetes pathogenesis Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex polygenic disease influenced by both environmental and genetic factors resulting in impaired insulin release from pancreatic beta cells and insulin resistance in target tissues. The incidence of T2D is escalating and it is projected that over 640 million people will

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in North India Gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) defines an unhealthy state of hyperglycaemia that develops in response to an otherwise normal physiological adaptive insulin resistance state during pregnancy. However, the exact plasma glucose levels differentiating the unhealthy GDM state from a normal pregnancy is unknown, and relies upon arbitrary cut off criteria

The role of cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript in endocrine cells Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disease characterized by insufficient insulin secretion and insulin resistance. Disturbed beta-cell function is the final culprit that leads to the development of T2D. In addition, impaired incretin effect is likely a part of the pathogenesis of T2D. The aim of this thesis was to study
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus - Diagnostic Implications during Pregnancy and follow-up The overall objective of the present thesis was to assess diagnostic implications for diagnosis of gestational diabetes (GDM) during pregnancy (Papers I and V) and for diagnosis of type 2 diabetes at follow-up after pregnancy (Papers II and IV), and the relative contriubtions of maternal body mass index (BMI) an

The genetic spectrum of diabetesAn important aim of this Initiative is to provide a gene atlas of T2D. Together with co-workers at the Broad Institute (MIT/Harvard) and Novartis we will perform a SNP genome wide association study using 500,000 SNPs on an Affymetrix chip in 1500 Scandinavian patients with T2D and 1500 non-diabetic control subjects. We expect at least 1500 SNPs (1.5%) to show nomina

Metabolic and inflammatory pathwaysCross-talk between metabolic and inflammatory pathways contributes to the pathology in many, if not most, forms of diabetes and its complications. In humans it is not possible to extract mechanistic information on how inherited defects in autoimmune/ inflammatory and metabolic pathways interact to cause damage to β-cells and target cells, culminating in diabetes.

Molecular Etiology of Graves´ Disease and Associated Ophthalmopathy Graves' disease (GD) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by hyperthyroidism and diffuse goitre. 25-50% of the patients with GD develop eye symptoms, Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the molecular etiology of GD and GO. By studying gene expression in Studies I, III, and IV, we de
