Work is slowly starting back up again after a long and much-needed break. Before I turn my attention to what lies ahead, I would like to begin by looking back briefly. At the end of last autumn, I travelled to Chicago, partly to visit my son, who is an exchange student at Illinois Institute of Technology, and partly to visit the University of Chicago to explore potential collaborations. The timing

Supported lipid bilayers are formed at a faster rate on light-guiding nanowires of high curvature than on conventional planar substrates, with single-vesicle resolution that proves their potential for studying relevant cellular phenomena. This is shown in a recent study by researchers Julia Valderas, Ruby Davtyan, Christelle Prinz, Emma Sparr, Peter Jönsson, Heiner Linke, and Fredrik Höök. “We des

Early diagnosis is key to receiving proper care and advancing research on future therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies. New research from Skåne University Hospital and Lund University shows that combining a simple smell test with advanced spinal fluid analysis can predict these diseases with high accuracy, while sparing nearly half of patients f

A new compilation containing statistics on the status of gender equality at Lund University has been presented. It shows that regarding professors, women are still in the minority at 31% (December 2022). If you compare gender regarding professors, women are still in the minority at 31% (December 2022), although the percentage of women has increased by 7% over 10 years. The percentage of newly recr

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. As odd as it sounds, many scientists have attempted to place extremely small diamonds inside living cells. Why? Because nanodiamonds are consistently bright and can give us unique knowledge about the inner life of cells over a long time. Now physics researchers Elke Hebisch and Christelle Prinz from the strategic rese
