Mosses and liverworts are common in forests, wetlands and on rocky surfaces – yet their chemical composition remains relatively little explored. A European research project is now investigating whether these small plants could become a source of new bioactive compounds for applications such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The BRYOMOLECULES project has now reached its halfway point. At Lund Unive
