The large-eyed bristle worm Vanadis has long been of interest to the world’s vision researchers. But the worm has been difficult to study since it lives in the open sea and is active at night. Now, a research team has succeeded in locating an Italian worm colony and is able to confirm that the worm has a completely unique vision. Bristle worms are a group of annelid worms that mostly live in the s

Africa is very vulnerable to climate change. However, challenges remain in understanding the full set of climate impacts for the region. Improved climate models may help contribute to solutions for reducing vulnerability. A step in the right direction, according to the researchers Minchao Wu and Markku Rummukainen, is to incorporate into todays climate models how regional ecosystems are affected b

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 “gene scissors” researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have managed to “turn off” an enzyme that proved to play a key role in the regulation of the diabetes-associated TXNIP gene. The results are decreased cell death and increased insulin production in the genetically modified p

These were some of the topics of discussion when a ministerial delegation from Ukraine visited LTH. I
