The results are surprising and the researchers are the first to show that some species are being wiped out, while others – such as cyanobacteria that contribute to algal blooms – are completely unaffected./article/new-study-lost-brain-function-restored-after-strokeThu, 30 Nov 2023 11:44:56 +0000/article/new-study-lost-brain-function-restored-after-strokeResearchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke recovery therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment”, says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor of neurobiology at 51�ؿ����� in Sweden./article/kind-methods-mean-happy-cellsThu, 22 Dec 2022 09:42:46 +0000/article/kind-methods-mean-happy-cellsStem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified./article/how-nanostraws-can-increase-number-blood-stem-cellsTue, 08 Feb 2022 10:22:33 +0000/article/how-nanostraws-can-increase-number-blood-stem-cellsAn interdisciplinary research team has successfully used innovation to solve a persistent major problem in stem cell research. More specifically, to gently introduce therapeutic biomolecules into target cells to increase their growth. The project has now been awarded the ‟Proof of Concept” grant by the European Research Council (ERC)./article/how-make-solar-energy-more-efficientThu, 11 Apr 2019 08:45:02 +0000/article/how-make-solar-energy-more-efficientThe energy sector is one of the sectors that need to undergo both rapid and far-reaching transformation to limit the effects of climate change. What is the significance of basic research, which investigates new theories and new approaches, in driving development?/article/sunhunters-knowledge-collect-lightWed, 22 Aug 2018 22:00:00 +0000/article/sunhunters-knowledge-collect-lightIncreased use of solar cells in the future requires higher efficiency and lower production costs. Innovative research from the interdisciplinary centre NanoLund wants to optimize the nanowires so that sunlight can be harvested more efficiently. Meet three young international researchers in the PhD4Energy project, working on hunting the sun.
