The year 2023 was a fantastic year for research at Lund University. The year can be summarised as 1825. In this case, it does not refer to the year 1825 and that our research has stagnated at the level it was then. Here, 1825 refers to four numbers: 1: Number one stands for a Nobel Prize – What a fantastic recognition for the incredible research conducted by Anne L'Huillier.8: Number eight stands

Now they are available at last, and I have used the service in both the Research Programmes Board and the Library Board.

Redan i slutet av 1960-talet lanserades teorier om en möjlig förekomst av supertunga grundämnen. Deras mest långlivade atomkärnor skulle kunna ge upphov till en så kallad ”stabilitetsö” långt bortom grundämnet uran. Men nu visar en studie, som letts av kärnfysiker vid Lunds universitet, att ett 50 år gammalt kärnfysikmanifest måste revideras. Det tyngsta grundämnet som finns i naturen är uran, var

Forskare vid Lunds universitet tror sig ha identifierat en genvariant som kan orsaka småkärlssjukdom i hjärnan och stroke. – De personer vi undersökt är från samma släkt och flera av dem har insjuknat med småkärlssjukdom i hjärnan och stroke. Efter vävnadsundersökning och genetiska analysmetoder kunde vi konstatera att de bar på en ny variant av en gen som kan ha samband med deras sjukdom, säger A

Exosomer är små virusliknande partiklar som transporterar genetiskt material och signalsubstanser från en cell till en annan. En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har nu funnit en typ av exosom som släpps ut från allvarliga hjärntumörer, gliom. Dessa exosomer visar sig ha en viktig funktion för tumörens utveckling, och skulle kunna användas för att bedöma tumörens svårighetsgrad via ett enkelt bl

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt hur svampar besitter individuella karaktärsdrag, och hur deras hyfer (enskilda svamptrådar i jorden) beter sig på olika sätt när de utforskar och tar sig fram genom jordens mikroskopiska labyrinter. Undersökningarna har gjorts i laboratorium och de underjordiska gångarna har tillverkats syntetiskt av silikonpolymer. I mikroskop har forskarna kunnat följa
