Pancreatic beta cells play a critical role in type 2 diabetes (T2D) development and progression. Therefore, deciphering the full mechanism behind glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is of great interest. Glucose elicits insulin secretion by being metabolized to ATP, which closes the ATP-dependent K+ channel, leading to accumulation of positive charges inside the beta-cell, beta-cell depolarizatio

Fallskydd och multiplaner i Lomma släpper ut mikroplaster i Höje å! Ungefär var tionde lekplats i Lomma har en gummibaserad yta som släpper ifrån sig mikroplast. Vid en noggrannare undersökning av en skolgård upptäcktes att mikroplaster därifrån hamnat i ett närliggande vattendrag, Höje å, via dagvattenrören. Mikroplaster är ett problem som fått allt större uppmärksamhet den senaste tiden. FiskarMicroplastics have detrimental effects in marine, fresh water and terrestrial environments and is a pollution of growing concern worldwide. Microplastics originates from many different sources, e.g. from rubber granulates used in artificial turfs. In a recent study, artificial turfs (football fields) were identified as the second largest source of microplastics in Sweden (tyre wear being the large

The standard-of-care drug Sorafenib extends the life expectancy with just two to three months, making the development of new drugs for the treatment of HCC an important area of research. Here, the pharmaceutical candidates SfA1 and SfA2 w
