Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment", says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor at Lund University who led

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear
