Den kraftiga ökningen av typ 1 diabetes beror på att alltfler barn med lägre genetisk risk drabbas idag. Så var det inte för några decennier sedan. Den mest sannolika förklaringen är att någonting har gjort vår omgivning mer "diabetesframkallande". Det är forskare från Melbourne Hospital i Australien som har kartlagt den genetiska koden hos 462 barn med typ 1 diabetes som insjuknande mellan åren 1

A new method that slowly releases drugs locally in the brain has been developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The drug is encapsulated in nanoparticles and delivered to the brain tissue via flexible electrodes. The method has been tested on mice and published in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology among others – and was recently presented in a doctoral thesis. The brain is both our mos
