När i livet vi går upp i vikt kan ha stor betydelse för hälsan långt senare. I en studie med över 600 000 personer har forskare vid Lunds universitet undersökt hur viktförändring från 17 till 60 års ålder hänger ihop med risken att dö i olika sjukdomar. Resultaten visar ett tydligt mönster: viktökning tidigt i vuxenlivet har störst betydelse. Att övervikt och obesitas ökar risken för flera sjukdom

More than half a billion people are affected by type 2 diabetes – and the number is growing. In a recent publication in the journal Small, researchers explain how nanoelectroporation can be used to deliver molecules that can affect insulin expression through epigenetic means, potentially leading to new treatments. Genetics cannot explain type 2 diabetes, and epigenetics (i.e. chemical modification

Dark excitons are material excitations not visible under light illumination. Some acquire intrinsic momentum and become inherently mobile, which can be exploited in charge transport applications. Studying the properties of such excitons via spectroscopy is extremely challenging due to their dark nature. “Although the intrinsic mobility of dark excitons may be suitable for charge transport in futur
