This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. All insects use vision to control their position in the air when they fly, but they also integrate information from other senses. Biologists at Lund University have now shown how hawkmoths use mechanosensors in their antennae to control fast flight manoeuvres. When the moths need to rapidly change direction and manoeu

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Cancer is known for its ability to hide from the immune system, making it tough to fight. But what

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

Professor Emily Boyd has been researching loss and damage from climate change for more than 10 years. To her, the news that Venezuela’s last glacier, the Humboldt glacier, is being reclassified as an ice field, is extremely worrying. The speed of change is crazy. When something so visible is lost, it also brings home the scale of global climate change, says Emily Boyd, professor at Lund University
