Prize winner Olov Andersson, professor KI, Stockholm, Sweden Olov Andersson Olov Andersson´s research addresses one of the most important aspects of diabetes: how can we find new targets for effective and safe treatment of these diseases. One major approach Andersson has pursued is stimulation of the generation/regeneration of islet cells, thereby improving insulin secretion. Here, his work has be

Department of Clinical Sciences Malmö Head: Jan Nilsson, PI BackgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality among subjects with diabetes. The risk of myocardial infarction (MI) is increased 2-3 fold in subjects who have had diabetes for >10 years, with some studies reporting risks equivalent to that of a non-diabetic person with previous MI. Diabetes is also associated with an

Focal accumulation of immune cells and lipids in the vascular wall leads to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Plaques occasionally erode or rupture, causing the blood to clot and restrict blood flow, with serious clinical consequences such as acute myocardial infarctions and strokes. Even though our understanding of the disease mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis has advanced substantial

We shall explore genetic function by a combination of genetic and functional assays. First, via expression profiling, we intend to determine which genes for mitochondrial proteins are altered in pancreatic β-cells, liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. This will be performed in material from i) humans with or without the disease, ii) in genetically or pharmacologically manipulated animals an

To accomplish these goals we will: A) establish the stimulus-secretion coupling in human pancreatic islets from non-diabetic organ donors to obtain proof of concepts derived from rodent studies; these data will also establish the gold standard for efforts to differentiate embryonic stem cells into mature islet cells. B) Combine islet studies with genetic and metabolic studies in humanA) Our knowle

How do we get people from different cultures, industries and worlds to sit down and talk to each other? First, they need to be brought together, and this alone requires the right person for the job.

PI: Nils Wierup The emergence of morbidly obese patients has prompted novel approaches to achieve weight reduction. Given that energy reduction by dieting is largely unsuccessful in this paitent group, surgical procedures have instead been developed to dramatically restrict food intake. Indeed, over the course of months patients may loose up to 50% in body weight. In addition, the majority of pati

PI: Albert Salehi The antiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is complex and involves the interaction between both genetic and environmental factors (also including nutritional and metabolic signals).
