A large international collaboration involving researchers from Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center has taken an important step toward making induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)–based therapies more globally accessible. Published in Stem Cell Reports, the study presents the first data‑driven international benchmarking of key quality control assays, showing how standardized methods can reduce v

Modern imaging techniques allows researchers to map the structure of the smallest components of cells, such as proteins. By understanding what proteins look like and how they interact with their surroundings, researchers can find keys to more effective drug therapies. In a study led from Lund University, researchers have mapped the structure of a channel in the cell membrane that regulates the tra

Researchers led by Lund University in Sweden have assisted microbiologists in Ukraine in investigating bacterial resistance among the war-wounded patients treated in hospitals. The results, which were recently published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, reveal that many of the patients were affected by bacteria that exhibited an extremely high level of antibiotic resistance. “I am quite thick-ski

Care and circular consumption, can they go hand in hand? For some, it’s what drives their consumption of items and clothes. Réka Tölg, a doctoral student at the Department of Service Studies, has recently published two papers on the topic of clothing consumption, circularity and care, one by herself and one with fellow Service Studies colleague Professor Christian Fuentes. These papers focus on ho

Lund University has a large and broad range of research infrastructure on offer. Several are world-leading. Unfortunately, however, in many cases the knowledge among researchers of what is on offer is low. “There are many researchers who are unaware of what the University has and what is accessible or how the infrastructure can help their research”, says Kajsa M Paulsson who is infrastructure coor

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers now believe that epigenetic changes, determining which genes are active and which are not, are involved in a number of conditions. These include everything from addiction and depression to cancer and blood disorders. David Bryder. “The research community has long focused on DNA alone. But the genome in its

We tend to attribute today's zoological menagerie of dog breeds to Victorian gentlemen with a penchant for selective breeding. The truth, however, goes back much further. An international study shows that the rich morphological variety among dogs began to take off 11,000 years ago – long before nineteenth century kennel clubs. Look at the dogs of today: the dainty Chihuahua, which most resembles a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A hot topic among cancer researchers is vesicles, nanoparticles that flow in our veins in their billions and which have proven to hold information on the health status of the body. Now the hope is to be able to capture and decode the messages in the vesicles via a standard blood test. Thomas Laurell, professor of biom
