Forskare kan nu slå fast att Maniitsoq-strukturen på sydvästra Grönland är en krater efter en jättemeteorit som slog ned för cirka tre miljarder år sedan. Studien, som bygger på analys av chockstrukturer i mineralet zirkon, bekräftar en omtvistad teori som lades fram redan 2012. Sedan jorden bildades för 4,6 miljarder år sedan har en stor mängd meteoritnedslag varit avgörande för vår planets utvec

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en ny form av antikroppsbindning som leder till effektivt immunsvar mot bakterier. Det kan förklara varför så många vacciner mot grupp A-streptokocker inte fungerat. Vidare fann forskarna en antikropp med potential att skydda mot infektion av grupp A-streptokocker. Resultaten presenteras nu i EMBO Molecular medicine. Grupp A-streptokocker har flera sätt
