Hur kan fåglar undvika att krocka när de flyger i täta lövverk och i andra trånga miljöer med många hinder? Och vad innebär det för fåglarna att flyga i sådana komplexa miljöer? De frågorna funderade Per Henningsson vid Lunds universitet på innan han gjorde slag i saken och tog hjälp av familjens egen tama undulat för att ta reda på svaren. Nu publiceras studien i Royal Society Open Science. Pande

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har tillsammans med kollegor vid synkotronanläggningen NIST i USA, på atomnivå kartlagt vad som sker i en viruspartikel när temperaturen höjs. – När temperaturen höjs, byter virusets genetiska material form samt densitet och blir mer vätskeliknande – vilket leder till att det snabbt injiceras i cellen, säger Alex Evilevitch, som lett studien som nu publiceras i PNAS.

Varje dag dör fyra människor i Sverige i självmord. Bättre strategier för bedömning av suicidrisk, ökad kunskap inom primärvården och större fokus på dem som tidigare gjort självmordsförsök, kan sannolikt rädda fler liv. Det visar en ny avhandling om suicid och riskfaktorer, som nu läggs fram vid Lunds universitet. – Över 90 procent av de personer som dör i suicid i Sverige, har haft kontakt med h

The income and education levels of a child’s environment determine their relationship to nature, not whether they live in a city or the countryside.

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv
