A recent study led by Prof. Eleftheria Zeggini, Director of the Institute of Translational Genomics at Helmholtz Munich, provides new insights into how genetic risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) can influence a wide range of health conditions beyond…

When immune system killer cells detect signs of infection, some of them rapidly multiply, forming a large defensive force to fight the pathogen. However, this response does not occur in every killer cell. What determines whether a cell will…
