This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Traditionally, the evolutionary development of an insect species has been explained by the notion that the female insect chooses her male partner based on size and other factors, so-called assortative mating. These mating patterns have also been believed to partially explain how the isolation between different species

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that the appetite hormone CART is regulated by glucose and is found in greater quantity in people with type 2 diabetes. “This could be the body’s own defence mechanism to lower blood sugar levels in case of type 2 diabetes”, says Associate Professor Nils Wierup, in charge of the study. The study shows that the appetite hormone CART not only

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
