Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi

A new paper by Aleh Cherp and several co-authors published in Environmental Research Letters asks what is the fastest realistic rate of global coal phase-out and what it means for the climate. The paper signals both good and bad news. The good news are that more and more countries promise to phase out coal, including poorer economies that rely more on coal, have younger power plants and weaker de

Bakterier utvecklar ständigt nya resistensmekanismer för att motverka effekterna av antibiotika. För att utveckla nya antibiotika som kan övervinna resistensen är det viktigt att förstå hur resistensen fungerar. Med hjälp av så kallad kryo-elektronmikroskopi (kryo-EM) har forskare vid universiteten i Lund och Hamburg upptäckt molekylära detaljer i en viktig mekanism bakom antibiotikaresistens. Upp

We tend to attribute today's zoological menagerie of dog breeds to Victorian gentlemen with a penchant for selective breeding. The truth, however, goes back much further.
