DIABETES- och NJURFORSKNING. Efter mer än ett decennium av stiltje har njurforskningen fått ett lyft. Nya läkemedel och biomarkörer gör det möjligt att upptäcka och bromsa sjukdomsförlopp tidigare – något som länge verkade ouppnåeligt. Och det här kommer att påverka personer med diabetes, där njurskada är en allvarlig långtidskomplikation. – Vi står inför en ny era. Det som sker nu liknar det som

Researchers have successfully mapped the entire genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle. The breakthrough paves the way for new research into bark beetles and better prospects for effective pest control of a species that can destroy more than 100 million cubic metres of spruce forest during a single year in Europe and Asia. Mapping the genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle enables a far deep

Dense urban areas amplify the effects of higher temperatures, due to the phenomenon of heat islands in cities. This makes cities more vulnerable to extreme climate events. Large investments in the electricity network will be necessary to cool us down during heatwaves and keep us warm during cold snaps, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. “Unless we account for extreme climat
