Bildades jorden av gigantiska asteroider? Eller fick vår planet sin nuvarande form och storlek tack vare millimeterstora småstenar som sögs ihop till en massiv himlakropp? Enligt en ny Lundastudie i tidskriften Nature talar allt mer för småstensteorin. Vår planets tillblivelse för 4 550 miljarder år sedan har ända sedan urminnes tider gäckat världens astronomer.

Ett forskarlag har studerat fyra märkliga stenar som hittats i en grusgrop strax utanför den lilla byn Kitkiöjärvi i Pajala kommun. Analyser av mineralkorn i stenarna visar att de härstammar från ett hittills okänt meteoritnedslag för 659 miljoner år sedan. Nu återstår jakten på nedslagskratern som lurar någonstans i närheten av grustaget. Den första stenen hittades 2017 av en finsk masterstudent.

Effektiva men ännu okända mekanismer neutraliserar den höga ärftliga risk för typ 2 diabetes som bärare av många riskgener har förutsatt att de har hög insulinkänslighet. En möjlig förklaring är att riskgenerna bara slår igenom när insulincellerna stressas av motsatsen, insulinresistens. Den ärftliga komponenten för
