Do epigenetic changes cause type 2 diabetes, or do the changes occur only after a person has become ill? A new study by researchers at Lund University provides increased support for the idea that epigenetic changes can cause type 2 diabetes.

People with type 2 diabetes tend to have poorer muscle function than others. Now a research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered that in type 2 diabetes, a specific gene is of great importance for the ability of muscle stem cells to create new mature muscle cells. The findings are published in Nature Communications. “In people with type 2 diabetes, the VPS39 gene is significantly less

In a recent study from Lund University, researchers have discovered that metabolic changes in the blood cell, affect the development of blood during the fetal stage. They found a previously unknown metabolic regulator - a kind of switch - which turns out to be crucial for how different types of blood cells develop. In the long run, this could mean that natural killer cells, a type of white blood c
