Researchers have identified 395 genes that are differently expressed in people with type 2 diabetes. One of the genes proved to be very strongly associated with impaired insulin secretion. Now, researchers want to investigate if it is possible to use the genetic CRISPR/Cas9 scissors to correct the gene’s activity. The research team’s scientific paper was published in the Journal of Clinical Invest

The Darknet is often described as criminal, lawless and in need of external control. New research by sociologist Tove Westberg, however, shows that cryptoforums on the Darknet function as complex social communities, shaped by norms, trust and informal social control. Today, Friday 10 April 2026, Tove Westberg marks the successful defence of her doctoral thesis in sociology at Lund University. The

Since 2005, the guidelines for the care of unconscious cardiac arrest patients have been to cool the body temperature down to 33 degrees Celsius. A large, randomised clinical trial led by Lund University and Region Skåne in Sweden has shown that this treatment does not improve survival. The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine. “These results will affect the current guidelines

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA. In total, 6 600 children at increased risk of developing coeliac disease were f

This CMES Regional Outlook by Pinar Dinc focuses on the recent political developments in Turkey. Recent events over the past week have dramatically shaken the political landscape in Turkey. The mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu, a prominent political rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was stripped of his university degree for alleged irregularities. The next morning he was detained at his ho

The whisked liquid left over when boiling beans and chickpeas – aquafaba – can replace egg whites in providing the right consistency for mayonnaise, cakes and desserts. It has therefore become a popular alternative among vegans, but within the food industry it is rare to find aquafaba as an ingredient. Now, a group of

How credible are research results? A new biology study shows that the same data can give different answers depending on the method of analysis used – raising questions about the stability of scientific conclusions. To strengthen credibility, researchers need to be better at accounting for their methods. Ever since the 17th century, when modern scientific research was born, methods have been refine
