When David Gisselsson Nord, a cancer researcher at Lund University in Sweden, read a history book last summer, he was struck by the similarities between how cancer and insurgencies evolve over time. Could military strategy be used as inspiration for cancer treatment? He teamed up with Robert Egnell at the Swedish Defe

As certain tumor cells are able to conceal themselves in the body, it often means that patients with aggressive cancers experience a recurrence of the cancer after treatment. By programming genetically modified killer immune cells to seek and destroy the hiding tumor cells and tumor stem cells, it is hoped that we can develop more effective treatment options. An international research project, wit

Important pieces of the puzzle to understand what drives diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are still missing today. One crucial obstacle for researchers is that it is impossible to examine a living brain cell in someone who is affected by the disease. With the help of a new method for cell conversion, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a way to produce diseased, aging b

Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and combining them against the virus. The modified antibodies have been tested in human cells and with mice. Many antibodies used to treat covid infection during the pandemic have been so-called neutralizin

A major breakthrough in the development of stem cell-derived brain cells has put researchers on a firm path towards the first ever stem cell transplantations in people with Parkinson’s disease. A new study presents the next generation of transplantable dopamine neurons produced from stem cells. These cells carry the same properties as the dopamine neurons found in the human brain.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Endurance running is often seen as a welcome escape from everyday life. But extraordinary experiences, such as running ultra-marathons, are not untouched by the competitive nature of contemporary consumer culture, a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden argues. The at times romanticized notion of experiencing comp

Researchers have succeeded in converting human skin cells into blood stem cells in an international collaboration project. “This is a first step on the way to generating fully functional blood stem cells in a petri dish which, in the future, could be transplanted into patients with blood diseases”, says Filipe Pereira, the researcher from Lund University in Sweden who led the study now published i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. As resistance to existing antibiotics increases, new approaches to serious bacterial infections are needed. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) in the US, have investigated one such alternative. “We were able to show that a tai

We usually associate ageing with a shrinking life span, sickness and death. The difficulty of imagining ourselves as old means that we go to great lengths to avoid planning for later life. Yet researchers argue that we have everything to gain by looking at life as a journey where preparations for the future provide opportunities for living a full life – until it really is over. We are all aware th

People with type 2 diabetes tend to have poorer muscle function than others. Now a research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered that in type 2 diabetes, a specific gene is of great importance for the ability of muscle stem cells to create new mature muscle cells. The findings are published in Nature Communications. “In people with type 2 diabetes, the VPS39 gene is significantly less

1100 medarbetare och utvalda prefekter vid Lund universitet har i dagarna blivit föremål för ett iscensatt nätfiske och försök till bedrägeri via telefonsamtal. Aktiviteterna är en del av internrevisionens granskning av universitetets informations- och IT-säkerhetskultur. En viktig pusselbit i en organisations informations- och IT-säkerhetsarbete är medarbetarnas agerande. – Tekniska åtgärder är i

Karin Aggestam, ny föreståndare för Centrum för Mellanösternstudier, om det nya fredsavtalet i Mellanöstern: För ett par veckor sedan slöt Bahrain och Förenade Arabemiraten ett fredsavtal med Israel. Det var första gången på 26 år som ett arabland erkänt Israel och Donald Trump tar på sig äran. Vad betyder detta för freden i Mellanöstern? Varken Bahrain eller Förenade arabemiraten har ju haft någo
