Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body’s blood sugar levels. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, shows how chemical changes to DNA affect both insulin-producing beta cells and glucagon-producing alpha cells – and how these patterns change in type 2 diabetes. All cells in the body have t

In a new article, researchers at Lund University have studied a new ice-skating technique that is more energy efficient than the traditional stride technique. By skating in arcs, ice hockey players can move just as quickly but with less energy loss. The authors say this could lead to better performance on the ice, as
