Every person ages, yet only some develop Parkinson’s Disease, and scientists still don’t know why. A new international effort involving a research team from Lund University aims to uncover what makes certain aging brains more vulnerable than others, focusing on the epigenetic changes that accompany growing older. Their work is supported by a new 81 million SEK grant from the Aligning Science Acros

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University, have discovered that a population of B cells formed shortly after birth store long-term immune memory and, in mice, can give rise to leukemia much later in life. Published in Cell Reports, the findings reveal how immune events at the very beginning of life can leave lasting biological imprints, linking early development to disease in old a
