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

Många av universitetets forskare publicerar fantastisk forskning som har gjorts med hjälp av artificiell intelligens (AI). Många är nyfikna på att testa AI för att förbättra, förenkla eller påskynda åtminstone någon del av forskningsprocessen. Samtidigt ställer sig många frågan ”vad får man använda AI till?” Utgångspunkten när du använder AI i forskningen är att följa grundprinciperna för forsknin

Nu har forskare hittat en alternativ väg för att framställa atomer av det väldigt tunga grundämnet livermorium. Den nya metoden öppnar för möjligheten att skapa ett annat grundämne som skulle kunna bli världens hittills tyngsta: nummer 120. Jakten på nya grundämnen bygger på drömmen om att lyckas hitta en variant som är tillräckligt stabil för att kunna vara långlivad och inte sönderfalla meddetsa
