Insulin secretion into the bloodstream requires a protein called CD59. New research led by Lund University shows that the two protein variants that are responsible for this function of CD59 are affected in diabetes. The study has been recently published in PNAS. Insulin affects many bodily functions, and is required for survival. It causes cells to take up glucose from the blood, storage of energy

En av de främsta fördelarna med att vara universitetslärare? Att handleda och se studenter växa i sin roll. Det tycker i alla fall redaktörerna till en nyutkommen bok. Detektiver med förstoringsglas och att fånga och tillaga en fisk. Det är några av metaforerna som universitetslektorerna Anna Jonsson och Olof Hallonsten använder sig av för att förklara relationen mellan handledare och student, res

Både svensk och internationell lag står bakom kvinnors rätt att amma på offentlig plats. Ändå beskriver kvinnor hur de får ta emot påhopp och dömande blickar när de ammar utanför hemmet. En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att samhället måste ge tydligare och uttalat stöd för offentlig amning - och välkomna amning oavsett plats. – Kvinnorna och barnen saknar tillgång till det offentliga rumm

Ett nytt antikroppstest vid covid-19 som utvecklats av forskare vid Lunds universitet har visat hög prestanda i kliniska tester och tillämpning. Antikropparna som mäts är kopplade till det så kallade spikeproteinet (S-protein) hos SARS-CoV-2-viruset som orsakar covid-19. Testet visar på 15 minuter om en person haft sjukdomen, oavsett om man haft symptom eller inte. Till skillnad från andra serolog

My recent research trip to Amazon, Colombia was a stark reminder that sustainability science is as much about being at the forefront of knowledge as it is about physically visiting man-made frontiers and conflict areas. I think this has to do with the importance to connect with local communities and people and try to understand how they see the world, what problems they have identified and want a

For a researcher to be successful, he or she not only needs to produce good research – it also has to gain exposure. However, there is competition for space in scientific and popular science journals. This has led to the growth of a grey area with unprofessional journals that take payment from researchers who want their work to appear. Kristoffer Holmqvist recommends the information on the Univers
