Mapping the unexplored impact of forest on climate
Plants release chemical compounds that impact clouds, and thereby the climate on Earth. Researchers are examining this chain of events in a project involving field trials in Swedish coniferous forest and in tropical rain forest, as well as theory development. The aim is to improve our climate models.
Surface of leukemia cells – a potential target for new therapies
Wallenberg Clinical Scholar Thoas Fioretos and his colleagues are looking for unique features of the cells that may lead to new diagnostics and less grueling therapies.
The unknown work of T-cells
