We conduct advanced research on the climate – exploring what affects it, historical patterns, biosphere-atmosphere interactions, and what we can expect in the future with a changing climate. The effects of climate change are already becoming apparent: average global temperatures are rising, ice is melting, and sea levels are rising. All aspects of life are being affected. Conditions for people and

Genvariant ger kraftigt ökad insulinfrisättning Som vid många andra sjukdomar är orsaken till diabetes en kombination av ärftlighet och miljöfaktorer. De senaste åren har forskningen gjort stora genombrott på det genetiska området och identifierat flera gener som ökar risken för att få typ 2 diabetes. Här skriver Cecilia Nagorny Holmberg, forskare på Lunds universitets Diabetscenter, om sitt avhan

Genetik, epigenetik, miljöfaktorer och typ 2-diabetes Vi har studerat olika gener och mekanismer som är involverade i typ 2 diabetes, vilket har lett till ökad förståelse av den komplexa bakgrund som bidrar till utveckling av sjukdomen. Genom ökad kunskap kan vi nå förbättrad behandling eller förebyggande av typ 2 diabetes, skriver Anders Olson, forskare på Lunds universitets Diabetscenter, om sit

Närgångna studier av insulinutsöndringen Våra studier visar att flera faktorer kan leda till en förändrad insulinutsöndring (exocytos), från mutationer i gener till funktionen av proteiner, och att försämrad exocytos direkt samverkar med försämrad insulinfrisättning. Sålunda torde dessa omständigheter bidra till förhöjda sockernivåer i typ 2 diabetes. Här sammanfattar Sofia Andersson, Lunds univer

Östrogenets skyddande effekt I sin doktorsavhandling har Rajesh Kumar undersökt östrogenhormonets skyddande effekt i samband med typ 2 diabetes. Här skriver han själv om sin forskning. Högt blodsocker gör att kroppens celler arbetar konstant och om blodsockret är för högt under en längre tid förstörs celler och andra följdsjukdomar kan uppstå, som hjärt/kärl-, ögon-, njur- och nervsjukdomar.
