Two researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center receive grants, 61 million, for research into immunological long-term memory and reprogramming of tumor cells. The research should lead to more effective vaccination strategies and immunotherapies. The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has granted SEK 835 million to 30 different projects in medicine, natural science and technology that are deemed to have

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made a new discovery about how the human genome protects itself from disruption during critical stages of life. Their study, recently published in Nature Communications, reveals how two key defense mechanisms—DNA methylation and the HUSH complex—work together to safeguard genomic stability. The human genome contains large stretches of rep

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies. Chronic myeloid leu

After 20 years of research on gene therapy and the rare blood disease, Diamond–Blackfan Anemia, DBA, researcher Johan Flygare had reached a point where he and his colleagues had done everything they could in the lab. Even though they had proof of concept their gene therapy would work, engaging companies had been difficult. Then, in 2021, he received an e-mail. The message came from American entrep

Researcher Emma Hammarlund realized that geological measurement methods can also be used for medical purposes. With a simple hair sample, she hopes to find cancer at an early stage. First in the study are prostate cancer and breast cancer. Now her project has been selected for the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences' (IVA) 100 list. The list also includes eight other research projects fr

Gymnasieelevers resor till minnesplatser för folkmord, som exempelvis förintelselägret Auschwitz-Birkenau, har en positiv effekt på deras förmåga att se händelserna från offrens perspektiv. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Varje år besöker människor museer och minnesplatser som rests till minne av folkmord. Många skolor besöker exempelvis ett koncentrations- eller förintelseläger, så

Efter mer än ett decennium av brutalt inbördeskrig tog det bara 11 dagar för militanta islamister att svepa genom Syrien och störta Bashar al-Assads regim. Offensiven, som har drivits av den turkisk-stödda Syriska nationella armén (SNA) och Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), har tvingat många invånare i västra Syrien att fly sina hem i jakt på säkerhet.

Sura barn kan höra julafton till. Faktum är att barnens besvikelse är ett ypperligt tillfälle att träna dem inför kommande svårigheter i livet. Det menar Elia Psouni, professor i utvecklingspsykologi.

Har flygfrittrörelsens uppmaningar om att stanna på marken och konsumera mindre fått genomslag? Vad som kan tillskrivas ekonomiska faktorer, förändrade sociala normer eller en kombination av de båda är oklart – men flygresandet i Sverige har minskat med 20 procent sedan före pandemin. – Rörelsen vill uppnå förändring genom att synliggöra andra sätt att resa, och i ett större perspektiv, andra sätt
