Vid typ 2-diabetes försämras bukspottskörtelns förmåga att tillverka och utsöndra insulin, en komplex process som är ännu inte helt klarlagd. En ny studie av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar att jonkanalen Piezo1 spelar en viktig roll för insulinutsöndringen och kan bli betydelsefull för framtida behandlingar av diabetes. Typ 2-diabetes kännetecknas av nedsatt glukostolerans och det innebär at

I jämförelse med traditionell mammografi (2D) minskar 3D-mammografi antalet bröstcancerfall som diagnostiseras mellan screeningtillfällena, så kallad intervallcancer. Det visar nya resultat från en stor screeningstudie genomförd vid Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus. Fynden är publicerade i tidskriften Radiology. – Få fall av intervallcancer tyder på att 3D‑mammografi, så kallad brö

Att förebygga sjukdomar kan handla om stadsplanering och arbetsmiljö. Det handlar om kunskap och om att göra personliga val som gynnar din hälsa. Men det är också en fråga om jämlikhet. Forskarnas uppgift är att göra alternativen tydliga. Vi lät överläkaren och docenten i arbets- och miljömedicin Maria Albin och professor emeritus i socialmedicin Sven-Olof Isacsson reda ut begreppen under några ol

For a decade now, the Rehabilitation Medicine research group’s work on spinal cord injuries (SCI’s) has had a far-reaching impact. In many areas, this is research at the global cutting edge; not least, in terms of following the same group of individuals as they live – and age – with spinal cord injuries. Research group leader Jan Lexell is preparing to flex the group’s academic muscles further in
