Att vandra i skogen är inte bara en naturupplevelse, det är också en doftsensation. Men en ändrad doft från träden kan vara ett tecken på att skogen är klimatstressad. Detta är resultat som forskare tar med sig in i ett nytt projekt som ska utvärdera konsekvenserna av ett förändrat skogsbruk. Forskningsprojektet koordineras av Lunds universitet och finansieras av EU med 60 miljoner kronor. Kunskap

A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler
