This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Nowadays it is possible to produce plastics from sugar or vegetable oils, but up to now fossil oil has been too cheap for the production of bioplastics to be profitable. That explains why the plastic-producing bacteria, developed some years ago by researchers at the Centre for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (Kemic

Through the DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at Lund University in Sweden can show that spore dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier, revealing how quickly nature’s calendar can reset in line with a warmer climate. When the Swedish military began collecting air samples in the 1960s to re

Enormous amounts of data about Alzheimer’s Disease have been generated from clinical studies so far. Still, the molecular drivers of Alzheimer’s Disease are largely unknown. With the TAU-TIME project, Jacob Vogel aims to advance knowledge by developing an AI tool that brings together known biological mechanisms with data from patients with the disease. Recent funding from the European Research Cou

One of Europe’s largest type 1 diabetes research cooperations has passed a significant milestone: The international platform GPPAD (“The Global Platform for the Prevention of Autoimmune Diabetes”) has successfully included 520 babies across Europe in the type 1 diabetes prevention trial POInT (Primary Oral Insulin Trial) – half of the targeted 1040 participants. The POInT study aims to train the i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. An international study led from Lund University in Sweden shows that 30 per cent of the energy in a certain type of light-absorbing iron molecule disappears in a previously unknown manner. By closing this loophole, the researchers hope to contribute to the development of more efficient solar cells using this iron-base

Researchers at Lund University and DTU in Copenhagen have discovered enzymes in the colon that, when mixed with red blood cells, can cut away parts of the carbohydrates that separate our ABO blood groups from each other. The method brings us closer to the dream of a universal blood for everyone. It has long been known that blood from different individuals cannot be mixed randomly without the risk
