Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en antitoxinmekanism som tycks kunna neutralisera hundratals olika toxiner och därmed skydda bakterier mot virusattacker. Mekanismen har fått namnet Panacea, efter den grekiska medicinens gudinna vars namn har blivit synonymt med universellt botemedel. Förståelsen av bakteriella toxin- och antitoxinmekanismer kommer att vara avgörande för framtida framgångsrik fagterap

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det finns en mängd faktorer som ökar risken att drabbas av åderförkalkning och därmed också hjärtinfarkt och stroke. En del kan man själv påverka och behandla - exempelvis höga blodfetter, högt blodtryck eller rökning – medan andra är förutbestämda – som ålder och kön. Till den senare kategorin hör också ärftlighet.

Five years ago, shared e-scooters arrived in big Swedish cities almost overnight. Today, they are as debated, as they are a familiar sight of the city landscape. In his doctoral thesis, Phil Justice Flores has investigated why people use shared micromobility such as e-scooters and e-bikes. His research shows that for many people, shared electric scooters are used because they contribute to positiv

So far, the way dolphins navigate, find food and socialise using sound signals has baffled researchers. Josefin Starkhammar, senior lecturer at the Division for Biomedical Engineering, together with colleagues, has now developed an algorithm which brings us closer to understanding the cetaceans’ phenomenal signalling system. In future, the new algorithm could be used to protect dolphins and to dev
