The region is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth and its polar bears and melting glaciers have become key symbols of climate change. But the Arctic, it seems, is not as well researched as we think it is. Since the Arctic covers some 14.5 million square kilometers, and conducting research in remote locations is very expensive, time consuming and often dangerous, the result is an extremely u

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For the first time, researchers have succeeded in creating an iron molecule that can function both as a photocatalyst to produce fuel and in solar cells to produce electricity. The results indicate that the iron molecule could replace the more expensive and rarer metals used today. Some photocatalysts and solar cells

When researchers at Stem Cell Center investigated how the molecule UM171 works, a molecule used to make blood stem cells multiply, they made an unexpected connection. The results provide new insights into how one of the most common malignant brain tumours in children could be treated in the future. UM171 is a synthetic molecule developed by researchers at Université de Montréal. In stem cell resea

A carnivorous fruit fly living in bubbling African streams may sound like a fever dream. However, with the help of DNA analysis of a pinned insect from a museum in Zurich, researchers have managed to draw an evolutionary map of a mysterious species that has not been seen since 1981. Researchers at Lund University have successfully mapped the genome of one of the world’s most unusual fruit flies -

In a major leap forward for preclinical nuclear medicine research at Lund University Bioimaging Centre (LBIC), the IngaBritt and Arne Lundberg Research Foundation has granted 2.6 million SEK to upgrade important equipment at centre’s Preclinical Nuclear Medicine platform. The funds will be used to enhance the positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)

How can we see biological tissues beyond the traditional two-dimensional microscope image? In his PhD research, Nika Gvazava explored advanced imaging techniques that reveal tissues and organisms in greater spatial and molecular detail. On 17 September, Nika Gvazava, from the Wagner Lab, defended his PhD thesis “Spatiotemporal imaging of development, disease and regeneration using advanced light-b

This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognizes discoveries behind optogenetics. The technique has a long history in Lund neuroscience, including early Parkinson’s disease research involving MultiPark researchers, and is today available through MultiPark-supported research infrastructures. Since its development, optogenetics has become a fundamental tool in neuroscience. Now, Karl Dei

Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to “clean up” their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem. Whether carelessly discarded

With the aid of satellite images, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have uncovered unique data on the severe drought that hit Syria between 2007 and 2009. Previously, many politicians and researchers believed that it was decisive for the outbreak of war in 2011. However, the new results indicate that agricultural land had already recovered by 2010. When the war in Syria broke out in 2011, t

Local involvement, perceived fairness and information sharing, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers studied two cases, one in Samsø (Denmark) and one in Feldheim (Germany) of successful implementation of low-carb

Tree-planting has been widely seen as an effective way of binding carbon as carbon dioxide levels rise in the atmosphere. But now, BECC researcher Louise C Andresen among others, are warning that forests on nutrient-poor land won’t be an additional carbon sink in the long term. As forests age, their uptake of CO2 declines and, each time forests are planted, there is a risk of additional carbon bei

We know that the reactions of people around them are very significant, but what determines whether or not other pupils come to the victim’s rescue? According to a group of Lund University researchers, the witnesses’ own anxiety i
