Published 2 October 2016 Foreign agricultural companies in Africa are draining the fresh water resources and increasing the competition for water. Photo: Shutterstock For the first time, researchers point to areas in Africa where foreign agricultural companies’ choice of crops and management of fresh water are partly responsible for the increased water shortages and greater competition for water.

Published 17 January 2017 Laurent Roybon The Stem Cell Laboratory for CNS Disease Modeling (CSC Laboratory) in Lund, has created one of the largest iPSC biobanks from patients diagnosed with familial and idiopathic PD, and associated synucleionopathies. iPSCs are obtained by reprogramming patient’s somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells. This unique technique, which allows generating embryonic

Published 23 January 2017 The meristem. The photo was taken using confocal microscopy. (Photo: Arun Sampathkumar and Yassin Refahi) Researchers have managed to show how the cells in a plant, a multicellular organism, determine their size and regulate their growth over time. The findings overturn previous theories in the field and are potentially significant for the future of agriculture and forest
