Leaders of work package 5: Ola Hansson and Eva Degerman SIRD is a novel form of diabetes representing the most insulin resistant (both hepatic and peripheral) form, with most features of the metabolic syndrome but also hepatic steatosis. In this work-package we explore mechanisms and pathways relevant to insulin resistance in various organs and tissues, such as liver, adipose tissue, kidney, skele

Leaders of work package 1: Emma Ahlqvist and Dmytro Kryvokhyzha One of the main resources to the LUDC-IRC is the access to large well-phenotyped cohorts, which can be linked to information from the public health care system. Central to the LUDC-IRC work is the exploitation of the more refined diabetes classification, which will help us more systematically search for pathogenic mechanisms underlyin

Head: Ola Hansson Our research interest is to understand how genetic variation influences skeletal muscle function and whole-body metabolism. We use translational approaches and regularly conduct focused intervention studies in humans, including skeletal muscle biopsies. From the biopsies, muscle stem cells (satellite cells) are isolated and later used for preclinical measurements. In our projects

Albert Salehi’s group The etiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is complex and involves the interaction between both genetic and environmental factors including nutritional state with consequent metabolic signals. There are currently no clinical treatments to prevent, reverse, or efficiently cure the progression of rapid beta-cell demise or insulin resistance in diabetes-prone individ

Head: Karin Stenkula My research group is focused on experimental cell biology research within the diabetes and obesity field. The overall purpose of our research is to explore both normal adipose cell function and the cellular mechanisms causing impaired glucose- and lipid metabolism associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. At a single cell level, we have shown that the GLUT4 trans

Daniel Agardh’s group Our researchThe overall purpose of our research is to uncover the genetic and environmental etiology of three autoimmune diseases – celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, and autoimmune thyroiditis. Specific autoantibody markers are used to predict the clinical onset of these three lifelong autoimmune diseases. Longitudinal studies of children at increased risk allow studies of the

Head: Karin Berger   According to WHO, improving nutrition is the single most important contributor to reduce the burden of diabetes in Europe. Polyphenols are compounds with anti-oxidative effect providing taste and color in plant-based food. In the last decade, polyphenol-rich foods have received increased interest from researchers and food industry. The main reason for this interest is the reco

Leaders for work package 6: Nils Wierup, Cecilia Holm, and Olga Göransson The mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD) cluster includes the most obese but not the most insulin resistant individuals. Obesity is a common risk factor for type 2 diabetes and its complications. This work package explores the differences between metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity and focuses on elucidating the mecha
