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

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For the first time, scientists are able to describe the exact mechanism for how a common genetic variant leads to a disruption in blood lipid levels that significantly increases the risk of heart disease. The one in every three persons who carries both copies of the risk allele engages a 40 percent higher risk of suff

Walking trails in the forest are often unnecessarily well-lit, according to a new study at Lund University. Softer, warmer lighting works just as well for people as today’s bright, white lighting, whilst causing less disturbance to nocturnal animals. Being able to spend time in woodland areas close to towns and cities provides opportunities for psychological recovery, experiencing nature and recre

Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success
