Type 2 diabetes is often not caused by a lack of insulin per se, but an inability of the beta cells to secrete adequate amounts of it. Recently, scientists at LUDC have identified a previously unknown agent that plays an important role in the release of insulin. Knock-out mice that lack the ClC3 protein have a severely diminished capacity to secrete insulin in spite of intact beta cells. This find

In recent years, the circular economy has become a guiding principle in industrial and environmental policies. But how good is it really? The definition of a circular economy is unclear and lacks substance, according to a team of researchers from Lund University and the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. It risks becoming counterproductive, unless we stop referring to it as a panacea for all

Last year, researchers in Lund, Sweden, launched a ground-breaking theory that Earth was formed by pebbles that were sucked together into a celestial body over millions of years. This explanatory model has now been further supported by a new study which shows that cosmic dust also played a crucial role in the creation of our planet. It has become known as the pebble accretion theory. The radical i
