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

Cycling becomes a lot harder if you don’t oil the bicycle chain! Similarly, you can’t cut metal, turn metal on a lathe or press sheet metal without lubricant. Previously in engineering works there was a flow of lubricant that is hazardous for health and the environment, but now the technology exists to reduce consumption of lubricant. In time, the mineral oils used today may be replaced by vegetab

Birds are masters of flight and can even outperform aircraft. Bar-tailed godwits, for example, can fly from Alaska to New Zealand – 11 600 km – in one eight-day, non-stop flight! To manage this, the birds must be able to fly very efficiently. How do they do it? What does a feather have that an aircraft wing does not? One of the greatest challenges in today’s society is to reduce the consumption of
