- A PhD Defense Interview with Raquel Martínez Curiel What if the brain could repair itself after a stroke? For Raquel Martínez Curiel, that question has driven four years of doctoral research at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center. In her thesis, she explores how stem cell–derived brain cells could help restore function after injury, and how human brain tissue can be used to better test and r
A PhD defense interview with Sujeethkumar Prithiviraj When injuries or disease lead to severe bone loss, grafts are often used to restore strength and function, but they face challenges in effectiveness, safety and scalability.
