Den senaste tidens geopolitiska förändringar har ökat intresset för, men också utmanat, den akademiska friheten. Den allmänna uppfattningen är att den akademiska friheten i de nordiska länderna är hög. Men är det verkligen så? Alla LU:s medarbetare bjuds in till ett seminarium där Professor Terence Karran kommer att presentera sin studie om akademisk frihet i Skandinavien och diskutera om den nord

Understanding the very first pathological events at the molecular level is key to developing treatments preventing neurodegenerative diseases. With a novel microspectroscopy approach combining optical and photothermal imaging, MultiPark researchers can follow early alterations of proteins involved in Alzheimer’s disease, before neurons degenerate. Their discoveries are published in the Journal of

Without these tiny “fat droplets”, the vaccines could never have been delivered into the body’s cells. And the fact is that these small particles will probably have more assignments in the future.

How do birds avoid collision when flying in dense foliage and other cramped environments with many obstacles? And what does flying in such complex environments entail for the birds? These were the questions Per Henningsson of Lund University in Sweden pondered before engaging the help of the family’s own pet budgie to get some answers.

Variations and changes in the genetic code in our cells are of great significance for many of the most widespread diseases. In recent years, researchers have made important progress in finding new ways to correct the genes that are causing problems. They have developed a technique that enables changes to the genetic sequence in living cells.  “It is possible to cut out the bad genes and paste in n
