NK cells, or natural killer cells, play an important role in the body’s defences against cancer and various infections. Now, in a joint project, researchers at Lund University in Sweden, the University of Oxford and Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm have mapped how the different steps of the maturation process of these supercells from blood producing stem cells in the bone marrow are regulated: k

Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganise themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can affect how the skin, lungs and tear film protect us from dehydration. A new discovery from Lund University in Sweden could be the inspiration for smart materials and new drug delivery techniques. Imagine a membrane that separates dry air from a moist interior. When moisture

The ripples are caused by a dwarf galaxy, now seen in the constellation Sagittarius, that shook our galaxy as it passed by hundreds of millions of years ago. Our cosmic home, the Milky Way, contains between 100 and 400 billion stars. Ast
