Drygt två veckor efter klimatmötet i Egypten möts ledare från världens länder på nytt, denna gång för att hantera en annan akut kris som mänskligheten står inför – förlusten av biologisk mångfald. Frågan är mindre känd än klimatkrisen och något ramverk motsvarande Parisavtalet finns inte på plats – något många hoppas att det kommande toppmötet i Montreal i december ska ändra på. Den kallas ibland

De nya utgrävningarna i Uppåkra går i bräschen för tekniker inom arkeologin. Nu används inte bara glasskärvor och benknotor - idag är det jorden som är i fokus. Och kanske får vi svaret på om den justinianska pesten, alltså föregångaren till digerdöden, fanns i Uppåkra. Något som hittills varit okänt. På en höjd strax utanför Lund står Torbjörn Ahlström, professor i historisk osteologi vid Lunds u

Svetlana Soboleva is set to defend her Ph.D. thesis on 13 April, 2022. For the past few years her world has revolved around red blood cells, as she has worked to establish methods that allow for the generation of enucleated cells, using immortalized erythroid cell lines, to develop erythrocytes. In short, she’s been working to find ways to produce red blood cells in a lab. In this interview she te

A new research study has shed light on the underground interaction between tree roots and fungi. In order to understand how this important symbiosis came about, an international team of researchers have sequenced the genomes of different fungi that live underground. The study shows that in the course of evolution, the symbiotic fungi have lost many genes present in their free-living ancestors, and

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain’s rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia, epilepsy and other neurological conditions. Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. They control nerv
