Ben Smith, professor vid institutionen, har intervjuats i SVT Nyheter om ny forskning som visar att jordens växter har ökat sin koldioxidkonsumtion. Ökningen av koldioxidkonsumtionen har bidragit till att ökningen av koldioxid i atmosfären har mattats av mellan åren 2002 och 2014.Läs mer"Växter hjälper till i koldioxidkrisen"Ben Smith:s personalsida

– I have red cells in my dish! When the phone call from PhD student Fábio Rosa came through, Professor Filipe Pereira knew that this was the start of something big. All their work had been leading to this moment. The red cells in the dish were from a mouse, and Filipe and his colleagues had been trying to reprogramme them into dendritic cells, specfically type 1 conventional dendritic cells, (cDC1

Nicholas Leigh came from the United States to Sweden and Lund University four years ago to study salamanders and how they can regenerate everything from legs, tails and even parts of the heart. In addition to his research, he has also been advocating for more inclusive research environments. It was the ability of moose to grow new antlers after shedding that first sparked Nicholas Leigh’s interest

Leukemia stem cells have a clever survival strategy, they evade the body's immune defenses, making the disease difficult to treat. In a recent study in mice published in Haematologica, researchers at Lund University identified a gene that helps these cells avoid detection by natural killer (NK) cells—the immune system’s frontline defense. Each year in Sweden, around 350 adults are diagnosed with a

Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po
