However, different relationships of a dependent nature complicate the situation, such as that between doctoral student and supervisor. Few people choose to report harassment. "One of the reasons is fear of pe

Markel has worked in the field of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) during his PhD in Pål Stenmark's team, using X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM to solve the structure of several proteins related to the botulinum neurotoxins. His main cryo-EM project consisted in structural work on the 300 kDa complex of the novel BoNT

The Boards of the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and the Faculty of Science have decided to aim for a more modest establishment in Science Village, i.e. the area between Max IV and ESS. The decision is justified, among other things, by the fact that the Departments of Physics and Chemistry would incur high rental costs if both research and education were to move. So says Annika Mårtensson, assistant

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity without resistance and are used in electromagnets, antennas and power lines. Researchers have now studied a multifaceted superconductor that exhibits a so-called vortex lattice when exposed to a magnetic field. The discovery could revolutionise technological development.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made two new discoveries with regard to the beta cells’ ability to release insulin. The findings can also provide a possible explanation as to why smokers have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. The study was conducted on mice and donated beta cells from humans, and is now published in the scientific journal Cell Reports.The researchers have discove

Patients are often asked to rate their feelings using a rating scale, when talking to psychologists or doctors about their mental health. This is currently how depression and anxiety are diagnosed. However, a new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that allowing patients to describe their experience using their own words - is potentially viewed as more precise and preferred by the patients.
