In our recent study in Nature Communications, we employed cutting-edge proteomics to explore changes in blood plasma proteins during early HIV-1 infection. The results advance our understanding of early host responses and highlight mechanisms that influence viral control and disease progression.The Questions We AskedHIV-1 continues to challenge global health, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where

– We have a moral responsibility to document loss of cultural heritage, indigenous and local knowledge, declining ecosystems and eroding sense of place, says LUCSUS post-doctoral fellow Guy Jackson. He has co-authored a literature review on non-economic loss and damage which highlights the need for more research on intangible cultural heritage, and how it connects to our physical surroundings, as

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t
