I början av 1980-talet upptäckte Lars Edvinsson, professor emeritus i medicin vid Lunds universitet, en signalsubstans kallad CGRP, Calcitonin gene-related peptide, som triggar migränattacker. Nästan 40 år senare kan upptäckten få en avgörande betydelse när det gäller att ta fram nya mediciner mot migrän. FDA, The US Food and Drug Administration, har nu godkänt CGRP som medicin. En medicin som kan

A tiny insect that lives on snow has revealed an unexpected survival trick: it can generate its own heat to withstand sub-zero temperatures. The finding sheds new light on how life endures in extreme environments. The snow fly – a winter-active crane fly – moves across snow at temperatures between 0 and −7°C. Conditions that would be lethal to most insects instead leave this species active, thanks
