En dansk forskagrupp vid universitetet i Köpenhamn har i samarbete med kanadensiska kollegor i Québec upptäckt vilken receptor som aktiveras i människans bruna fettceller. Upptäckten kan leda till nya principer för att behandla fetma och typ 2-diabetes. Brunt fett är på flera sätt motsatsen till det vita fettet som

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified one of the reasons why the childhood cancer neuroblastoma becomes resistant to chemotherapy. The findings are significant for how future treatments should be designed. The results have been published in Science Advances. Neuroblastoma is an aggressive cancer of the sympathetic nervous system, especially of the adrenal gland. Despite intense

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

By assigning a barcode to stem cells, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made it possible to monitor large blood cell populations as well as individual blood cells, and study the changes over time. Among other things, they discovered that stem cells go through different stages where their ability to restore immune cells varies. The new findings provide important information for the rese

Modern computers are a triumph of technology. A single computer chip contains billions of nanometre-scaled transistors that operate extremely reliably and at a rate of millions of operations per second. However, this high speed and reliability come at the cost of significant energy consumption: data centres and household IT appliances like computers and smartphones account for around 3% of global

Hjärt- och kärlsjukdom är fortfarande vanligaste dödsorsaken efter långvarig typ 1-diabetes men under de senaste decennierna har risken avsevärt minskat, enligt en stor finsk undersökning. Under ungefär samma period visar en stor internationell studie att en vanlig riskfaktor för hjärtsjukdom har blivit betydligt vanligare. Under de senaste 30 åren har antalet för högt blodtryck blivit dubbelt så

It was previously thought that damage to the neural pathways was the sole cause of the motor problems that are typical after a brain injury or stroke. However, new research led by researcher at Lund and Uppsala Universities in Sweden now shows that hormones released after these injuries appear to contribute in a dramatic way. The results indicate that hormone-blocking drugs could be used to counte
