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

Changes in land use have been highlighted as one of the main reasons for the global decline of insects. New research from Lund University, which examined three common Swedish grassland butterflies, shows that changes in land use not only reduce insect numbers. The loss of habitat can also lead to increased inbreeding, especially among specialised species that find it increasingly difficult to move

  1 How does the working method of an R&D unit differ from how it works at the university? The tasks are more varied and the collaboration between colleagues closer. Of course, the difference also depends on which research environment you come from.  Research is conducted in the same way and there are several internally driven research projects. However, we accept external assignments that require
