När covid-19-pandemin bröt ut vände sig beslutsfattare världen över till prognosmodeller och scenarier för att hantera det osäkra läget. Men hur påverkade dessa framtidsbilder strategier och offentlig debatt – och hur vilseledde de ibland? I en nyligen publicerad artikel i tidskriften Social Studies of Science undersöker sociologen Tobias Olofsson hur tidiga pandemiprognoser påverkade policybeslut

We tend to attribute today's zoological menagerie of dog breeds to Victorian gentlemen with a penchant for selective breeding. The truth, however, goes back much further. An international study shows that the rich morphological variety among dogs began to take off 11,000 years ago – long before nineteenth century kennel clubs. Look at the dogs of today: the dainty Chihuahua, which most resembles a

How can a tiny genetic change alter the body´s sugar balance? At Lund University, researchers have used stem cells to create two versions of the same cell – one carrying the genetic variant and one without – to see how melatonin affects insulin-producing cells and contributes to development of type 2 diabetes.

Hur påverkar en liten genetisk skillnad kroppens förmåga att hantera socker? Forskare vid Lunds universitet har använt stamcellsteknik för att ta reda på det. Genom att skapa två versioner av samma celltyp – en med och en utan den genetiska skillnaden – kan de följa hur melatoninets signaler påverkar de insulinproducerande cellerna och på så vis förstå mer om hur detta påverkar risken för typ 2-di

Borders don’t just divide nations — they define our bodies too. At the skin and in the gut, our barrier organs form the frontline of defense against infection. Here, diverse communities of friendly microbes, the microbiota, help maintain health and keep these borders strong, backed up by an immune system ready to deploy antibodies against any intruder. Protecting these barrier organs is central to
