Separate things but with the common denominator that, with digitalisation's new tools, it is possible to save both time and money – and to save lives.  "I don't like it when I see things that are wrong which research could solve.

Det som formar vår hälsa senare i livet är inte bara hur vi själva lever, eller hur vi hade det i barndomen, eller i moderlivet. Nej, redan hur våra föräldrar mådde och levde när vi blev till, kan bidra till att påverka vår hälsa. Peter M Nilsson, professor i klinisk kardiovaskulär forskning vid Lunds universitet, vill att det satsas brett på hälso- och livsstilsrådgivning för ungdomar och för dem

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har gjort två nya fynd som visar sig ha inverkan på betacellernas förmåga till insulinfrisättning. Fynden kan också ge en möjlig förklaring till varför rökare har ökad risk för typ 2-diabetes. Studien är gjord på möss och donerade betaceller från människor och har publicerats i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Cell Reports.Forskarna har dels upptäckt att så kallade niko
