For many cancer patients, successful treatment depends on whether the disease is detected early or responds to existing therapies. With new grants from the Swedish Cancer Society (Cancerfonden), three postdoctoral researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center will investigate new drivers of cancer development and how the immune system can be more effectively mobilised against tumors. In M

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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a routine tool in biomedical research, helping scientists analyse data, understand diseases and develop new treatments. But as AI models grow larger and more complex, they also rely on increasing amounts of energy, data storage and computing power. These environmental impacts are rarely visible to the researchers using the technology. As part of this year’s

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

The STEM PD clinical trial, a stem cell–based approach for Parkinson’s disease, is entering a new phase in its development. In May 2026, Cellular Intelligence, an AI native biotech company, announced that it has acquired global rights from the Danish pharmaceutical company, Novo Nordisk, to further advance the clinical development of the STEM PD programme. STEM‑PD is among a small number of plurip
