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

Insekter är dåliga på att hantera klimatförändringens högre temperaturer. Risken är stor att de blir överhettade. Både överlevnaden och förmågan att reproducera sig påverkas kraftigt av ökande temperaturer även i områden högt uppe på norra halvklotet, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Insekter kan inte reglera sin egen kroppstemperatur, som istället starkt påverkas av temperaturen i den
