Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. DET ÄR HÖG TID att vi börjar tänka igenom hur vi ska definiera liv, vad som är liv. Det menar en forskargrupp i Lund. Framför oss växer en armé av intelligenta robotar men också möjligheter att ändra i människors DNA och skapa superbebisar och – kanske – att stöta på liv i rymden.– Människan har alltid drömt om att

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

Modern imaging techniques allows researchers to map the structure of the smallest components of cells, such as proteins. By understanding what proteins look like and how they interact with their surroundings, researchers can find keys to more effective drug therapies. In a study led from Lund University, researchers have mapped the structure of a channel in the cell membrane that regulates the tra
