After a series of studies, researchers at Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues in Italy, have shown that not only one part, but most parts of the brain can be involved in processing the signals that arise from touch. The results open the way for a new approach to how the brain’s network of neurons proce

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

Nine projects have been granted funding through the Sustainability Fund and the call for applications concerning Sustainable Idea Exploration. The aim of the call is to take early ideas from research to innovation that can make a difference to society. The funded projects each receive a maximum of SEK 150,000 to develop the innovative potential of their ideas. Twenty applications were submitted in

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The official figures for forest fires in the Brazilian Amazon in August 2020 show a slight decrease from last year. But researchers at the Brazil's Space Research Institute, Inpe, warn that data may need to be corrected so much that they instead reveal the worst fires in a decade.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) can cause more serious liver conditions, such as liver failure. A new study, led by Lund University in Sweden, presents new data that may lead to better disease management and prevention in the future. The international research team identified an altered expression of specific genes in samples from individuals with obesity, MASLD an

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Is there any underlying biological explanation for why men are responsible for such a large proportion of sexual assaults compared to women? Or, from a biological point of view, could women just as easily have been the ones to commit this type of harassment and assault, if the social and historical power structure wer

How can life-saving HIV treatments remain reliable when global aid is uncertain? What happens when animals are reduced to “carbon emissions” in sustainability debates? And how can urban forests be made safe at night without flooding them with artificial light, disturbing local wildlife? These are just some of the questions raised in Through the Kaleidoscope of Sustainability, an innovative new ant

We spoke with Alex Vermeulen, Director of the ICOS ERIC Carbon Portal, about the latest World Meteorological Organization report, the Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, for which Alex serves as editor. Published in October – in time to provide the latest data to the COP30 meeting – the report describes the largest year-on-year rise in CO₂ levels since records began in the 1950s. Alex shares his thoughts on

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new and more accurate way to distinguish between harmful and harmless plaque in the blood vessels by using ultrasound. This can help healthcare providers determine the risk of strokes and heart attacks – which means avoiding unnecessary surgery for many patien
