Att bo ensam i eget boende sliter mer på jordens resurser än att bo med andra, eftersom alla ska ha egna utrustningar – brödrost, tvättmaskin och så vidare. De nordiska länderna sticker ut: nästan hälften är ensamhushåll. Hållbarhetsforskaren Tullia Jack har intervjuat ensamboende om orsakerna och hoppas på nya former av kollektivboenden. – Delat boende är en lågt hängande frukt för att sänka kold

Davide Schirone, a researcher at the Division of Physical Chemistry, is interested in how vegan proteins work. He recently completed a study on how pea proteins are broken down in the body. Schirone and his international research team conducted the experiments at MAX IV in Lund. Why is it important to study the breakdown of vegan proteins in the stomach?“The way we produce food today in wealthy co

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. This mechanism was studied in a paper by Nikol Labecka, Emma Sparr and co-workers recently published in PNAS.  Read the article about how lipid molecules reorganise drying interfacesLink to the article in

What keeps spaghetti from disintegrating in boiling water? The answer, according to new research, is gluten. The amount of salt in the water also has an unexpected significance.Using advanced techniques, researchers examined the internal structure of regular and gluten-free spaghetti – straight off the shelf. The results show that gluten has a crucial role in protecting the structure of pasta duri

Solution viscosity is a key quantity for high concentration formulations of monoclonal antibodies suitable for subcutaneous injection. A dramatic increase of the viscosity with increasing antibody concentration is frequently observed, and charge effects are often believed to play a major role in this phenomenon. Unfortunately, our ability to successfully predict this for different antibodies based
