Lundaforskare har utvecklat en ny musmodell som ger svar på vad som de facto sker i kroppen när typ 2 diabetes utvecklas och hur kroppen svarar på läkemedelsbehandling. Långtidsstudier av den medelålders musmodellen kan bättre än tidigare studier bekräfta hur läkemedel för typ 2 diabetes fungerar i människor. - De djurmodeller för typ 2 diabetes-studier som hittills funnits har inte varit optimala
