Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt att mängden av ett mikroRNA är förhöjt vid typ 2-diabetes och påverkar utsöndringen av insulin negativt. Deras försök på mänskliga insulinproducerade celler i bukspottskörteln visar även att det går att öka insulinutsöndringen genom att minska mängden av detta mikroRNA. Målsättningen är att forskningen ska leda till nya behandlingar för personer med sjuk

Vintersäsongens virus har slagit till – och covid-19 är fortsatt en del av vardagen. Men till skillnad från under pandemin har vi nu mer kunskap om hur viruset sprids via utandningsluften. Forskningsresultat från Lunds universitet visar att det räcker med några minuter i samma rum som en smittad person för att själv få viruset. Det är aerosolforskarna vid LTH som ligger bakom studien där virusets

Plants in tropical dry areas have developed an unusual strategy for survival. Instead of using their water supply during the dry season, they hold on to the last drops until the very end in order to quickly get started on photosynthesis as soon as the rainy season has begun. Using satellite technology, researchers have now managed to investigate the storage of water in plants worldwide. The resear
