A feather-light touch can trigger a chain reaction in a plant in less than a minute. Researchers at Lund University have identified the molecular signaling pathway that links mechanical stimulation to changes in plant genes and growth. Plants cannot run away when the wind picks up, rain lashes down, or a hungry herbivore begins chewing on their leaves. Instead, they must sense their surroundings a

For most of his career as a researcher, Lars Björck has sought to understand how bacteria manage to evade the human immune system. One of his discoveries is now saving the lives of patients with kidney disease who previously found it very difficult to receive a kidney transplant. He describes research as a combination of perseverance and imagination – and a fair few failures. Meet the winner of th

Researchers at Lund University show that blood stem cells during early development are considerably more flexible than corresponding cells in adults. The findings provide new knowledge about how the immune system develops and may also contribute to understanding why certain forms of childhood leukemia are thought to originate before birth. All blood and immune cells are formed from blood stem cell
