Forskare vid Lunds universitet har tillsammans med kollegor vid synkrotronanläggningen NIST i USA, på atomnivå kartlagt vad som sker i en viruspartikel när temperaturen höjs. – När temperaturen höjs, byter virusets genetiska material form samt densitet och blir mer vätskeliknande – vilket leder till att det snabbt injiceras i cellen, säger Alex Evilevitch, som lett studien som nu publiceras i PNAS

I en ny experimentell studie visar forskare hur alzheimerproteinet amyloid-beta ansamlas inuti nervcellerna och hur det felveckade proteinet sedan sprids från cell till cell via nervtrådar och fortplantar sig i en ond spiral. Alzheimerproteinet uppkommer inuti cellerna långt tidigare än de synliga extracellulära placken som bildas efterhand som sjukdomen fortskrider. Den aktuella studien bygger vi

Hur kan fåglar undvika att krocka när de flyger i täta lövverk och i andra trånga miljöer med många hinder? Och vad innebär det för fåglarna att flyga i sådana komplexa miljöer? De frågorna funderade Per Henningsson vid Lunds universitet på innan han gjorde slag i saken och tog hjälp av familjens egen tama undulat för att ta reda på svaren. Nu publiceras studien i Royal Society Open Science. Pande

Svenska universitet och lärosäten fördömer våldet i Iran där säkerhetsstyrkor bland annat skjutit skarpt mot protesterande studenter. Samarbete och utbyte med iranska universitet, forskare och studenter kan därför vara prekärt. Det menar Karin Aggestam och Ronny Berndtsson vid Centrum för Mellanösternstudier, CMES. Karin Aggestam är föreståndare för CMES och koordinator för det strategiska forskni

Varje dag dör fyra människor i Sverige i självmord. Bättre strategier för bedömning av suicidrisk, ökad kunskap inom primärvården och större fokus på dem som tidigare gjort självmordsförsök, kan sannolikt rädda fler liv. Det visar en ny avhandling om suicid och riskfaktorer, som nu läggs fram vid Lunds universitet. – Över 90 procent av de personer som dör i suicid i Sverige, har haft kontakt med h
