The Swedish Government Agency for Innovation Systems, Vinnova, will invest in 11 new competence centers starting in January 2024. Among the new ones, two are directly connected to NanoLund and the Department of Physics – which, together with the already existing center C3NiT, means that there are now three in total. New research environments for sustainable and digital transformation are emerging.

Type 2 diabetes is often not caused by a lack of insulin per se, but an inability of the beta cells to secrete adequate amounts of it. Recently, scientists at LUDC have identified a previously unknown agent that plays an important role in the release of insulin. Knock-out mice that lack the ClC3 protein have a severely diminished capacity to secrete insulin in spite of intact beta cells. This find
