A new global study shows that in human-disturbed regions, many native plant species are absent from their natural habitats, contributing to the missing so called “dark diversity”. Natural vegetation often lacks many species that could potentially be present, especially in regions heavily affected by human activities, according to a new study coordinated by researchers at the University of Tartu an

Can insulin absorbed in small doses through food in early childhood get the immune system accustomed to insulin and thereby delay – or prevent – type 1 diabetes? Researchers hope to find the answer through POInT, a study starting in Skåne this autumn. Newborn babies in Skåne with a high risk of autoimmune diabetes (type 1 diabetes) can take part in the study. The infants from Skåne, together with
