15 högskolepoäng Om kursenKursen ger dig en bred förståelse för hur eukaryota celler fungerar. Vi börjar med att utforska hur det genetiska materialet är organiserat och hur gener regleras. Sedan tar vi oss igenom cellens olika livsfunktioner och hur de samverkar och regleras: organellbiogenes, energiöverföring, cellcykeln, programmerad celldöd, cytoskelett, cell-cell-interaktioner, extracellulär

Olle Melander’s group Our researchWhen type 2 diabetes has been determined, a patient’s absolute risk of future cardiovascular disease events remains very high despite available preventive therapies. Thus, primary prevention of diabetes appears instrumental in reducing the population burden of diabetes-related cardiovascular disease. This group focuses on identifying mechanisms causally related to

Anna Blom’s group Our researchOur group focuses on the complement system, which is part of the immune system. The complement system contains more than 40 proteins that circulate in the blood and these proteins play an important role in the innate defense against pathogens, and in the removal of unwanted materials.Researchers have discovered that complement proteins also have other functions; one e

Isabel Gonçalves' group Our researchMany victims of heart attacks and stroke die before reaching the hospital. The most frequent cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque with the subsequent formation of a thrombus that occludes the vessel. The rupture-prone plaques are called vulnerable plaques (VP), and usually have a large lipid and necrotic core, are

Isabella Artner’s group Our researchDiabetes results from loss or dysfunction of insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. Despite insulin injection treatment, diabetic patients suffer from long-term complications, such as blindness and kidney failure. Therefore, a central goal of diabetes research is to regenerate pancreatic beta cells or produce large numbers of functional beta cells for tra

Eva Degerman’s group Our researchThere is a confirmed relationship between diabetes and dysfunction of the inner ear, our hearing and balance organ, and a large number of reviews and meta-analyses have been published on the subject. However, the mechanisms behind this association are not known. Our ongoing studies indicate that the inner ear is a direct target for insulin action and insulin resist

Helena Elding Larsson’s group Our researchThe overall purpose of our research is to investigate etiology, prediction, and prevention of pediatric autoimmune diabetes (type 1 diabetes) and other autoimmune diseases. Type 1 diabetes is preceded by an immune-mediated destruction of the pancreatic islet beta cells resulting in loss of insulin production. Genetic factors confer susceptibility and help

Here we announce projects with innovation potential. Please contact Innovation Office at LUDC for more information. NCE targeting GPCR 321Anna Andersson and her group at Lund University Diabetes center  have identified a lead compound targeting GPCR 123. The new NCE induces insulin secretion and prevents beta cell apoptosis in vitro. The effects have been confirmed in vivo in a rat model, where ta

Lena Eliasson’s group Our researchOur research aims to understand the impact of deregulated insulin- and glucagon-secretion from pancreatic islet of Langerhans in the aetiology of type 2 diabetes. We also have an interest in islet cell function in more rare diabetes types, such as cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) and glucocorticoid-induced diabetes.The main focus of our research is to inves

LUDC is a consortium of research groups at Lund University headed by Leif Groop dedicated to unravelling the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes mellitus. LUDC started July 1st 2006 when selected for funding by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) in fierce national competition, as a part of the call for applications for Linneaus grants.  What does LUDC do?We are active in several dif

Paul Franks’s research group Our researchAn assumption that underpins most public health and medicine is that risk profiles and treatment responses of individuals within a target population will approximate the average risk profile for the population. While this will be true for most people, many others deviate from these expectations, such that standard prediction models and interventions are ine
