Researcher Patrik Vestin writes in a " news and views " article in Nature that the woody surfaces of trees may take up methane on a scale of global importance. This is a missing piece in the estimation of global methane budgets, and hence in climate models. Future research should involve not just stems and trunks, but also leaves and small branches to get a fuller picture. Forests play a crucial r

How might low-grade inflammation be linked to depression? New research findings show that depression can be alleviated when patients with mild elevations of inflammatory markers in blood samples take omega-3 supplements. The antidepresssant effect was greater in those with low-grade inflammation than in those with no inflammation. “We saw a significant improvement in symptom severity,” says resear

Antibodies are the body's superheroes, recognizing and eliminating disease-causing substances. By combining parts from antibodies, researchers at Lund University have designed a hybrid antibody that better stimulates the immune system against both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and streptococcal bacteria. Antibodies can be likened to keys, with antigens as the corresponding locks. Each antibody is uniquely

In type 2 diabetes, the body's ability to release insulin is impaired, which leads to high blood glucose levels. Research led from Lund University shows how the levels of a particular protein are elevated in the pancreas of people with type 2 diabetes. By knocking out the gene for the protein IGFBP7, the researchers discovered that insulin secretion was improved. Reduced insulin secretion leads to

A commercially available blood test has now been trialled in routine healthcare. “The blood test showed about 90% reliability even in primary care. This may have major implications for all those individuals who seek help for memory loss and suspected Alzheimer’s,” say the researchers at Lund University in Sweden behind the study. Alzheimer’s disease affects one in five women and one in ten men ove
