How viruses enter the body’s cells
What happens at atomic level when an influenza virus infects a cell? Peter Kasson has created a model of the complex phenomenon by combining advanced computer simulation, microscopy and nanotechnology. But pieces of the puzzle are missing. One major challenge is to understand molecular movements when the respective membranes of the virus and the cell fuse together.
Developing stem cell therapy for macular degeneration
In a few years’ time there may be a completely new kind of stem cell treatment for age-related macular degeneration. The therapy is based on Fredrik Lanner’s research into stem cells and early development in human embryos.
The ability of plants to react to damage
Wallenberg Academy Fellow Simon Stael has shown that a group of enzymes called proteases play a key role in damage response. He is now delving further into protease function.
Improving climate models by learning more about aerosol particles
Aerosol particle are fine solid particles present in the atmosphere and the air we breathe. They can impact both our health and the climate, and are one of the main uncertainty factors in climate models. Ilona Riipinen is studying how the particles interact with clouds and precipitation in order to refine cloud formation and climate models.
