When we talk about antibodies against COVID-19, we tend to mean the so-called neutralising antibodies, that offer protection by blocking the virus from invading our cells. Now, a new study from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that non-neutralising antibodies may also be important in providing protection against Covid. “Our results indicate that non-neutralising antibodies could also provide

Given the current warming climate, many of us have wondered if snow around Christmas time is slowly becoming a thing of the past. We asked Alex Vermeulen, Director of the ICOS Carbon Portal at Lund University, what Europeans can expect going forward. Only one thing seems certain: the weather will change in unpredictable ways, with more extreme weather likely. Around what time will Europeans experi

Current knowledge of food safety is based on traditional foods that include animal products. Corresponding knowledge of plant-based foods lags behind. “There is a naive belief that plant-based food is safer than animal-based food. Unfortunately, this is not the case,” says Jenny Schelin, a researcher on food safety at Lund University in Sweden. “Plant-based foods are just as vulnerable to the same

Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en antitoxinmekanism som tycks kunna neutralisera hundratals olika toxiner och därmed skydda bakterier mot virusattacker. Mekanismen har fått namnet Panacea, efter den grekiska medicinens gudinna vars namn har blivit synonymt med universellt botemedel. Förståelsen av bakteriella toxin- och antitoxinmekanismer kommer att vara avgörande för framtida framgångsrik fagterap
