Shedding light on cellulose quality
Researchers from LiU have developed a molecule that changes colour when it binds to different forms of cellulose. The researchers demonstrate how the molecule can be used to make rapid, optical measurements of cellulose quality.

Molecular chameleons reveal bacterial biofilms
Molecules that change colour can be used to follow in real-time how bacteria form a protective biofilm around themselves. This new method may become significant both in medical care and the food industry, where bacterial biofilms are a problem.

Peter Nilssonās molecules shine a light on Alzheimerās research
āEven though Iām a professor now, I still spend a lot of time in the lab, as I know that when Iām working hands on, thatās when I get the new ideas,ā says Peter Nilsson. He develops tracer molecules that are used in research into Alzheimerās disease.

New method gives hope in understanding Alzheimerās disease
Scientists are now able to label proteins in the brains of mice who have a disease similar to Alzheimerās disease. The new method allows the researchers to observe how harmful protein aggregates develop over a longer time period.

Tracer molecules can distinguish between very similar brain diseases
Two diseases that affect the brain, Parkinsonās disease and multiple system atrophy, show the same characteristics. Scientists have now shown that tracer molecules developed at LiU can distinguish between these diseases.

Chameleon molecules can see differences in plaque
The brain of a person with Alzheimer´s disease often contains several different types of amyloid plaque. This was shown in a study in which tracer molecules developed at LiU were used to study brain tissue from patients.
