In a recent study from Lund University, researchers have discovered that metabolic changes in the blood cell, affect the development of blood during the fetal stage. They found a previously unknown metabolic regulator - a kind of switch - which turns out to be crucial for how different types of blood cells develop. In the long run, this could mean that natural killer cells, a type of white blood c
A multidisciplinary research team at Lund University has innovatively tackled what has long been a major problem in stem cell research. The project has now been awarded a Proof of Concept grant from the European Research Council, ERC. Jonas Larsson, Professor of Molecular Medicine, and his research colleague Ludwig Schmiderer, together with Martin Hjort, a researcher at NanoLund, have developed th

Researchers at Lund University and Lund Stem Cell Center in Sweden have developed a new method for studying age-related brain disorders. The researchers have focused on the neurodegenerative disorder Huntington’s disease and the results have now been published in the journal Brain. Basic medical research often faces the challenge of developing disease models that correspond to specific disease mec
Sofia Wijk will defend her Ph.D. thesis on the 8th of September 2022, with a vision to contribute to the development of future cell-based therapies for patients with chronic lung disease. She has dedicated the last several years to better understanding the regenerative properties and processes of stem cells in our airways. In this interview, she tells us about her research, her journey in academia

A large amount of lungs donated cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital have conducted an animal study bringing hope that more donor lungs could be used in the future. The researchers have launched a pilot study to investigate whether the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 19
