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
