A possible breakthrough in treating osteoporosis
10.02.2023
Researchers from the Jagiellonian University have designed a material that could help refill bone cavities and at the same time serve as a carrier for osteoporosis medication. The invention could revolutionise the treatment of osteoporosis, since it could allow doctors to deliver drugs with strong side effects precisely where they are needed, reducing the need to rely on systemic drug administration.

How nocturnal light impacts wild animals
05.09.2022
Biological rhythms have an enormous impact on the biochemistry, cell biology, physiology and behaviour of all living organisms. These mechanisms are particularly conspicuous in birds. Unfortunately, the rising human pressure, especially the light pollution, largely distorts the environmental cues regulating the animals’ internal biological clocks. Dr Joanna Sudyka from the JU Institute of Environmental Sciences has been studying the consequences of this phenomenon.

One of the participants of the project, Prof. Tomasz Guzik from the JU Faculty of Medicine, writes how this research could help treat heart disease in the future.

Global warming on the rise
01.04.2022
An alarming weather anomaly has recently been observed in Antarctica. At certain moments, the temperatures in the second half of March were more than 40 Celsius degrees above normal. How to interpret these data? Was it a one-time event or part of a long-term trend? Prof. Robert Twardosz from the Department of Climatology at the JU Institute of Geography and Spatial Management will shed more light on this issue.

JU researcher: Visegrad Four’s silence about Russian aggression may bode ill for the Group's future
22.03.2022
The Russian military invasion of Ukraine has exposed the weaknesses of the Visegrad cooperation as a regional forum of like-minded governments. The silence of the V4 Group proves that it has not overcome the deepening dissensus between the ostensibly pro-Russian Hungarian government and the other V4 countries increasingly fearful of Russia’s neo-imperialist stance, writes Prof. Artur Gruszczak from the Jagiellonian University Faculty of International and Political Studies.
