Hospitals should design premises and adapt their infection control routines to a society that no longer has effective antibiotics, and that is vulnerable to fast-spreading global pandemics. This is argued in a new dissertation from Lund University in Sweden. “Many hospitals in Sweden and the world are becoming old and worn out. Therefore, we now have the chance to build properly from an infection

Impaired insulin secretion is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, but the process is not yet fully understood. A new study by researchers at Lund University shows that the Piezo1 ion channel regulates insulin secretion, which means it may be an important target for new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes often occurs because the pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce enough effective in
