Gemma Atkinson has been awarded this year’s Eric K. Fernström Prize for particularly promising and successful early-career researchers at Lund University. Her research focuses on bacterial proteins in order to understand the protective mechanisms bacteria use against infecting viruses known as bacteriophages. She received the prize for: Groundbreaking discoveries about the bacterial immune system

By analysing over 100,000 field measurements as well as environmental data, an international research team has created maps that show how and when naturally regrowing forests bind most carbon. To fulfil climate goals and avoid the most serious consequences of global heating, we need to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. Naturally

Many claim that people too easily anthropomorphise animal behaviour. But what’s the story regarding laughter – is it something unique to humans? Cognitive scientist Peter Gärdenfors explains why we often overlook the laughter of a parrot and why slapstick is a type of humour appreciated by both humans and animals. ”Aristotle thought that it was only humans who laugh, but he was wrong,” says Peter

From a rejected article to world-leading Alzheimer’s research. Kaj Blennow has made it possible to detect Alzheimer’s disease up to 20 years before symptoms appear – an achievement that has not only transformed research but also laid the foundation for new therapies. He has now been awarded the Eric K. Fernström Nordic Prize for his groundbreaking research. Professor Kaj Blennow also enjoys gettin

Many might assume that we are powerless in the face of ongoing sea-level rise, and that the risk of flooding is inevitable near the coast. However, how governments choose to develop coastal regions is affecting exposure to flooding more than climate threats, according to a new study. The research analyses flood risk scenarios in China’s coastal zone from 2020 all the way until 2100. Across the wor

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r

High above us, the atmosphere is teeming with life. Birds, bats and insects share the airspace, but divide it into different lanes of traffic. New research from Lund University in Sweden reveals how the atmosphere is an ecosystem, with complex ecological processes that affect how animals move between different altitude levels. We must understand that the air is an arena for ecological processes th

Today, Times Higher Education (THE) published its latest ranking and Lund University has retained its position at 95. “It’s very gratifying that we have retained our position, despite tougher global competition. A university is never better than its staff and students. This is therefore an acknowledgement of the skilled work everyone performs to create a top-class university and confirms that we a

The story of the Ukrainian music scene since the Russian invasion is one of resilience. Even if it has meant playing in the underground Metro, or in cold bomb shelters with no electricity, many musicians have found ways to continue their art. Now, five classical musicians from Kharkiv, Ukraine, have been invited by Malmö Academy of Music to perform in Malmö. In many ways, the sound of Ukraine live

Antibody-based drugs often become too thick to be injected at high concentrations. Now, new research can explain why this happens—knowledge that could eventually lead to easily injectable medications. Antibody-based drugs are currently used to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory conditions. To be administered as a simple injection under the skin, they need to be concentrated, but a

During the Covid-19 pandemic, there was an unexpected increase in the number of cases of type 1 diabetes in Sweden, particularly among children under five and young adult men. The infection accelerated the onset of diabetes among children between the ages of five and nine. The researchers looked at data from a 17-year period on the incidence of type 1 diabetes among all people under the age of 30

What keeps spaghetti from disintegrating in boiling water? The answer, according to new research, is gluten. The amount of salt in the water also has an unexpected significance. Using advanced techniques, researchers examined the internal structure of regular and gluten-free spaghetti – straight off the shelf. The results show that gluten has a crucial role in protecting the structure of pasta dur
