Insulin secretion into the bloodstream requires a protein called CD59. New research led by Lund University shows that the two protein variants that are responsible for this function of CD59 are affected in diabetes. The study has been recently published in PNAS. Insulin affects many bodily functions, and is required for survival. It causes cells to take up glucose from the blood, storage of energy

The artist performs, the audience listens and applaud to show their appreciation. These are the given roles during a concert. But what happens if we dissolve these roles and the audience acts in a way that is completely unexpected. Does this change the song? The sound? The communication? This is what an interdisciplinary group at the Pufendorf Institute has studied during the spring. The six singe

“My first project was about giving poor families in Thailand the opportunity to send their children to school. A student and I helped set up chicken farms at the schools, which the children took care of. The money they earned by selling the eggs on the markets covered their school fees”. Leif Bjellin.

“We are dependent on one another globally – this became evident not least through the Ebola epidemic. For cooperation to work and develop, Africa cannot be left out of the loop”, says Benedict Oppong Asamoah, researcher and lecturer in public health.

Do you leave work full of energy and excited about what the rest of the day has to offer? If not – maybe it is worth trying to improve recovery during the working day.  Lina Ejlertsson's thesis is about recovery of staff in one of the most stressful work environments – healthcare centres. She says we have a certain amount of energy that either drains or fills during the working day. "I would like

Different values, cultures and language. Leading an international research group comes with additional challenges. Margareta Sandahl and Charlotta Turner are deliberately developing the emotional expertise in their group. "It pays off in terms of energy, even if it takes time. Furthermore, the doctoral students develop not just as people, but also as future leaders", says Margareta Sandahl. Margar

Several researchers at the Center for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies were doing field work during the Arab Spring. It has left deep traces in them - but also resulted in new research projects. The Arab Spring is a term describing the uprisings that started in several countries in North Africa and the Middle East in 2011. The first one took place in Tunisia and was then followed by unrest in Egypt

In 2016, a forgotten archival treasure was found in the cellar of the Department of Geology. The material included a unique map of Iceland from 1844 and a geological map of the whole of New Zealand dated 1869. Now 322 works have been restored and plans are afoot for an exhibition. Through arched windows, a pale November light faintly illuminates the Hansen conference room on the fourth floor of th
