Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and combining them against the virus. The modified antibodies have been tested in human cells and with mice. Many antibodies used to treat covid infection during the pandemic have been so-called neutralizin

Stem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified. “If you are interested in working with blood stem cells in Sweden, this is the place to be.” So says Martin Hjort

The University has made a further major investment in the Lund University Centre for Preparedness and Resilience (LUPREP). The funding will go to the Centre’s graduate school, which will have eight new positions. The aim is to be Sweden’s leading hub for research, education and collaboration concerning preparedness and resilience. In the autumn of 2025, the University established the Lund Universi

Soot is a light-absorbing material that is formed when hydrocarbons are not completely burned during combustion processes. Soot has significant impacts on climate, glacial regions, agriculture, and human health due to its strong light-absorbing ability, small size and complex structure. Various soot types have different properties, for example biomass soot has lower absorption efficiency than dies

Soot is generated from incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of organic compounds. Soot strongly absorbs solar radiation contributing to global warming. Additionally, soot can enter deeply into human organs causing various types of cancers. Understanding soot nano-structures and properties is essential to predict their impacts on climate and human health. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a powerful techniq

I Frankrike har länge pågått en hätsk strid om könsinkluderande språk, där kritiker varnar för svårlästa texter. En ny avhandling visar dock att formerna fungerar som tänkt. De gör kvinnor mer synliga i läsarens föreställningar, utan att försämra läsbarheten i någon större utsträckning. I franskan har alla substantiv ett genus och är antingen maskulina eller feminina. Dessutom används den maskulin

Soot can be emitted from both natural and anthropogenic sources, including mineral deposits, open forest fires, savanna burnings, biomass burning, residential burning, and fossil fuel combustion. It absorbs solar radiation and contributes to atmospheric heating. Soot nanostructures contain varying levels of toxic chemicals that can penetrate deep into the bodies of humans and animals, leading to r
