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

Is it possible to know exactly where to point a microscope in order to capture the precise moment a bacterium or a virus infects a cell? In order to take high resolution microscopic images of living biological material, you need to know exactly where to point the microscope. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a software solution for smart, data-driven microscopy, which mak

Dr. Olle Lindvall, recently awarded a jubilee doctorate from Lund University, has spent more than fifty years studying the brain and how to repair it. His work has turned ideas that once seemed like science fiction into scientific reality. Looking back on his journey from curious medical student to clinical neuroscientist, he talks about his accomplishments, the challenges he faced, and gives advi
Neuroinflammation plays a significant role in neurodegenerative disorders. That is why MultiPark researchers collaborates across research teams. ”Neuroinflammatory pathways in neurodegenerative diseases” is a new special interest group (SIG) to elucidate molecular and genetic aspects in a rapidly growing research area. Malin Wennström explains how she convenes the joint effort. Can you briefly des
