The University of Jyväskylä investigated how parvovirus infection impacts nucleolar morphology and function. The results provide new basic information about the interaction between viruses and nucleolus.

The doctoral research of Juho Toivola concerns organic radicals that are diamagnetic in solid state, turning paramagnetic upon melting. Toivola defends his doctoral dissertation on 13th of February, 2026.

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have successfully employed machine learning-driven simulations to investigate the thermal dynamics one of the most well-studied gold nanoclusters.

Researchers have shown that DNA viruses infect cells and take over the host cell nucleus induce dramatic structural modifications. The study sheds new light on the virus-induced fundamental nuclear remodeling.

The School of Resource Wisdom at the University of Jyväskylä has published a new issue of Wisdom Letters (2/2025) focusing on the sustainability implications of demolition and preservation in the built environment.

Doctoral Researcher Akshay Mohan shows that a widely used fungicide can sharply reduce feeding in the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus, an important leaf-shredding detritivore.
