The Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences invites applications for a four-year PhD position in the framework of the project "Reconstructing Madagascar’s biome history using plant phylogenetics”, led by Jan Hackel and co-supervised by Prof. Catarina Rydin.
A team of scientists has answered a long-standing question in cell biology, uncovering how the cell’s main energy currency, ATP, is transported into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Disrupted energy transport could affect diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. The study, published in Nature, confirms that the transporter protein SLC35B1 is the key gateway for ATP entry into the ER.
Research from Stockholm University offers fresh insight into how childhood friendships can shape adult economic outcomes—especially for children from low-income families. A study, published in the journal Social Forces, suggests that having a close classroom friend from a wealthier background can significantly improve an individual's income in adulthood.
