Early detection of diseases is aided by the body’s own nanoparticles

A hot topic among cancer researchers is vesicles, nanoparticles that flow in our veins in their billions and which have proven to hold information on the health status of the body.

Climate change makes carbon sinks more vulnerable

Botanical garden temporarily flourishing

The presence of the glorious tulips, which have captivated so many of the visitors to the garden and spread to the Instagram accounts of the residents of Lund, is in no way guaranteed. Neither are the coming summer flowers currently being planted in the flower beds, which last year were left bare and brown. “We depend on grants”, says the garden director Bente Eriksen. “However, this year we recei
