There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

A new global study shows that in human-disturbed regions, many native plant species are absent from their natural habitats, contributing to the missing so called “dark diversity”. Natural vegetation often lacks many species that could potentially be present, especially in regions heavily affected by human activities, according to a new study coordinated by researchers at the University of Tartu an

Nordic and Andean countries started their economic modernisation in the same way: with export of raw natural resources. Later on, Norway and Sweden became rich, while Bolivia, Chile and Peru followed a quite different path. What made them diverge from the common road? Different fiscal policies may be one of the reasons, new research from Lund University suggests. In the mid-19th century, Norway ex

In a tumour, cancer cells grow and multiply in an uncontrolled manner. However, the cancer cells also need help from other, normal cells for the tumour to develop. This network of ‘helper cells’ is the focus of Kristian Pietras’ research. Two years ago, Kristian Pietras left Karolinska Institutet for Lund, attracted by the opportunity to establish an entirely new research group at Medicon Village.
