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. The researchers behind the new findings published in Nature Communications now aim to develop methods for disease prevention. We inherit our genes from our pa

The most advanced engines are not found in airplanes, cars, or other machines – they are found in nature. Inside our cells, tiny protein motors power everything from cell division to muscle movement with an efficiency and precision that has fascinated researchers for decades and inspired long-standing efforts to replicate them. Now, scientists have taken an important first step. An international r

Have you made adjustments to your garden to make it more welcoming for pollinators? If so, you have probably made a valuable contribution, according to a new study from Lund University. The researchers evaluated the national ‘Operation: Save the Bees’ campaign, and their results indicate that what private individuals do in their gardens really can make a positive difference. The fact that pollinat
