The cells that produce insulin and glucagon are difficult to access, as they are located inside the fragile pancreas. Researchers looking to understand how they function and what underpins the development of diabetes are therefore often advised to conduct their experiments on animals. The Human Tissue Lab, on the other hand, provides researchers with access to cells from deceased human donors; thi

How are social sustainability and human rights put into practice? In her thesis, Emelie Lantz has examined three collaborative projects in the city of Malmö. The findings show, amongst other things, how ‘project fatigue’ and imposed participation can arise in socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods. The study also demonstrates how the pursuit of measurable targets can sometimes result in r
