When the late summer sun falls over Ireland’s Wicklow Mountains, the slopes turn purple with blooming heather. Honeybees are moved to the heathlands for the sought-after heather honey, but their presence affects wild bumblebees. An Irish-Swedish research team has shown in a new study that wild bumblebees change their behaviour and are smaller in size when the number of beehives increases. The rese

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In

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
