Published 13 January 2014 It is well known that type 2 diabetes raises the risk of dementia. The reasons for this are less clear, but one explanation could be insulin resistance in the brain, according to Malin Wennström, a researcher at Lund University´s Molecular Memory Research Unit. She has received EUR 700,000 from the Swedish Research Council to investigate her theory."The goal is to find me

Published 7 March 2014 People with type 2 diabetes have epigenetic changes on their DNA that healthy individuals do not have. This has been shown in a major study by researchers at Lund University. The researchers also found epigenetic changes of a large number of genes that contribute to reduced insulin production. “This shows that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes is not only genetic, but a

Published 2 June 2014 “The increased risk of diabetes has previously been explained by the fact that cystic fibrosis causes damage to the pancreas, where the blood-sugar regulating hormone insulin is produced. We are the first research group to show that the mutated gene that causes cystic fibrosis also plays an important role in the release of insulin. The risk of diabetes is not only explained b
