Ett internationellt forskarlag som har letts från Lunds universitet, har identifierat epigenetiska biomarkörer som kan förutsäga vilka personer med typ 2-diabetes som riskerar att få hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. Studien publiceras nu i Cell Reports Medicine. Personer med typ 2-diabetes har upp till fyra gånger högre risk att få hjärtinfarkt, stroke, kärlkramp och andra kranskärlssjukdomar än friska person

För första gången har forskare kunnat visa hur en cell stänger dörren för fria radikaler – små syremolekyler som ibland behövs, men som även kan skada våra celler. Studien publiceras i Nature Communications och är ledd från Lunds universitet. För att våra celler ska fungera behöver de hålla en noggrann balans mellan nyttiga och skadliga syremolekyler, så kallade fria radikaler. En av de mest centr

To ensure that everyone has their say and that no one feels attacked when debating loaded and sensitive topics, it is important to establish the ground rules from the outset. This applies to society at large and in the lecture hall. This is the opinion of Christer Mattsson, Associate Professor of Pedagogy and Director of the Segerstedt Institute at the University of Gothenburg, who has been invite

Set a goal for your training for one to four months and pay in SEK 1,000. You get your money back if you achieve your goal. Crazy? Perhaps, but in a study by Professor of Economics Erik Wengström and his colleagues, the incentive proved to be quite effective compared with the control groups. “I’ve had a long-standing interest in how people behave in strategic situations and if you look at it from

The Polar regions play a crucial role in balancing global climate – with the poles heating up much faster than the rest of the world. Yet, climate projections for the Polar regions still have significant uncertainties. This is hampering efforts to curb climate change and deal with the effects we already see at play not only within the Polar regions, but also in Europe and the rest of the world. Po

What does a breath of air actually contain – and how does the air we breathe affect our health and society as a whole? And how can we protect ourselves from potential threats in the air that is essential to life? These are questions that the new ATLAS research project aims to answer by tracking the impact of air from molecule to society. The project has received the Swedish Research Council's Netw

In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal

At work, Julia Weber’s focus is on insects and other pollinators, and their survival. At home, it is her cat Hera who has grabbed attention. When Postnord announced a competition to find cats to grace their new stamps, Julia Weber did as over 18,000 other cat owners and sent in a photo along with a short description of her feline friend. The jury could not resist the adventurous Hera, who was one

Swedish universities and higher education institutions condemn the violence in Iran in which security forces have opened fire on protesting students. Collaborations and exchanges with Iranian universities, researchers and students may be in jeopardy. So argue Karin Aggestam and Ronny Berndtsson at the Centre for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies, CMES. Karin Aggestam is the director of CMES and coor

The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th

It can take a long time between words and action at the University, sometimes a little too long. This is one of the reasons the University management has developed a platform for strategic work. It speaks to what is most important to the University right now and will help it to act much faster as the world changes. Pandemic, war in Europe, fake news, increased polarisation at home and abroad and,
