Fetmaforskning ger Fernströmpris

Publicerad 12 september 2012 Fernströmstiftelsens Nordiska pris, med en prissumma på en miljon kr, går i år till fettvävsforskaren professor Peter Arner från Karolinska Institutet. Hans grupp har bland annat varit först med att visa att fettceller bildas hela livet, inte bara i barndomen. Peter Arner har också funnit vissa gener som ger ett skydd mot fettcellernas negativa effekter, samt visat hur

Genvariant ger kraftigt ökad insulinfrisättning

Publicerad 13 september 2012 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 avhandlingsarbete med sö

Lägre läkemedelskostnader 20 år efter fetmakirurg

Publicerad 19 september 2012 En ny analys av den svenska så kallade SOS-studien (Swedish Obese Subjects) visar att personer som genomgår fetmakirurgi fortsätter att utnyttja sjukvården lika mycket som personer som får konventionell fetmabehandling. Detta trots att det kirurgiska ingreppet i sig ofta ger bestående viktnedgång över en 20-årsperiod – och därmed minskad risk för livsstilssjukdomar som

Har vi en moralisk plikt att delta i biobanksforskning?

Publicerad 21 september 2012 Biobanksforskning är viktig. Den kan förbättra sjukvården utan att människor utsätts för allvarliga risker. I en avhandling från Uppsala universitet hävdar Joanna Stjernschantz Forsberg att vi har en moralisk plikt att delta i den här typen av forskning. Vi har alla ett intresse av medicinska framsteg. Dagens och morgondagens patienter behöver resultaten som biobanksfo
