Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered the individual traits of fungi, and how their hyphae – that is, the fungal threads that grow in soil - behave very differently as they navigate through the earth’s microscopic labyrinths. The study was performed in a lab environment, and the underground system constructed synthetically from silicone. Using a microscope, researchers were able

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that bird blood produces more heat in winter, when it is colder, than in autumn. The study is published in The FASEB Journal. The secret lies in the energy factories of cells, the mitochondria. Mammals have no mitochondria in their red blood cells, but birds do, and according to the research team from Lund and Glasgow this means that the blo

Ludwig Schmiderer has studied how to overcome delivery challenges in stem cell biology with nanotechnology. In this interview, he tells us about his research and generative art. What have you been working with during your PhD studies? At the beginning of my PhD, I was trying to reengineer the CRISPR/Cas9 system to make it work in mitochondria instead of nucleus. The project started off quite well

Have you ever wondered what it takes to grow a brain in a petri dish or how scientists use viruses to fight genetic diseases? These are just some of the fascinating topics explored on UniStem Day 2023 at Lund Stem Cell Center in Sweden. On 10 March 2023, more than 220 high school students from across Sweden's southern Skåne region arrived at Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University for a day of le

Two NanoLundians attended the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting this summer in Bayern, Germany, by the beautiful Bodensee. PhD student Julia Valderas and Postdoctoral fellow Ajeet Kumar share their trip experiences with us. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings are internationally renowned conferences, attended annually by about 30–40 Nobel Laureates and some of the most promising young scientists f

There is widespread agreement among the physicists and chemists for their establishment in Science Village to take place simultaneously and as soon as possible. There are also proposals for how the two departments could work together. Leif Bülow, head of the Department of Chemistry, describes the forthcoming establishment and merger as an incredible opportunity and says the vast majority of those

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, researchers have tried to capture the electrical current that bacteria generate through their own metabolism. So far, however, the transfer of the current from the bacteria to a receiving electrode has not been efficient at all. Now, researchers from institutions including Lund University have achieve

The next-door neighbour whose home you’ve never been inside. That was how Jason Diakité, also known as hip hop artist Timbuktu, felt about the University while growing up in Lund. Today, he feels differently – having been awarded an honorary doctorate and now taking his seat as one of LU’s external Cultural Council members. Inside the historic Old Bishop’s House, final preparations are underway fo

It is still unclear how much students and staff will be on campus in the autumn, but a gradual return is being planned. Discussions are also being held as to whether technical and administrative staff will be able to continue working from home after the pandemic. At the University, teaching staff and researchers have long been able to choose to work from home when that was most effective for them

För dem som inte gick ned i vikt blev snabbt andningsuppehållen bara fler. Ofrivilliga andningsuppehåll i sömnen, så kallad sömnapné, är en ofta försummad hälsofara.
