An army of intelligent robots is growing in front of us, but also opportunities to alter people’s DNA, create super babies and, perhaps, to encounter life in space.“Human beings have always dreamed of

Jordbruket står för en tredjedel av utsläppen av växthusgaser och släpper ut stora halter av giftiga ämnen som påverkar hav och mark. Odlingen av ettåriga grödor som vete, ris och sojabönor är särskilt problematisk.Forskare är eniga om

Kartläggningen av TXNIP verkan kan på sikt öppna vägen för ett läkemedel som förmår bryta cirkeln. Typ 2 diabetes föregås av en långsamt men fortlöpande försämrad blodsockerkontroll. Nu har forskare vid LUDC upptäckt en gen, TXNIP, som fö

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Den insulinbildande betacellen är starkt beroende av kolesterol för att fungera normalt. Endast en blygsam sänkning av mängden kolesterol i cellens vägg halverar kapaciteten för insulinfrisättning, visar forskare vid LUDC. Detta är ett betydelsefullt fynd eftersom i stort sett alla diabetiker, oavsett kolesterolnivå

Ett ”bokmärke” – i form av specifika proteiner – i cellens DNA, innebär att celler minns sin identitet efter celldelning. Mekanismen har tidigare visats i odlade celler. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu för första gången visat den avgörande betydelsen av denna mekanism i levande möss. Upptäckten, som publiceras i Nature Communications, är viktig för att förstå och påverka blodbildningsprocess

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate
