By freezing your own healthy blood stem cells in your twenties, thawing them out, and undergoing a stem cell transplant in your forties or fifties, it might be possible to rejuvenate your blood-forming system and immune system. Science fiction? At least it works when old mice receive new healthy blood stem cells from young mice. Mice live only a couple of years at most. That makes them suitable to

A constant interplay takes place on the surface of the body between cells, the immune system and the skin microbiota. We do not notice it – until the balance is disturbed. Then it becomes clear that the very outermost layer of the skin plays a crucial role in the wellbeing of the whole body. The skin is thin. Its outermost layer, the stratum corneum, is only a few hundredths of a millimetre thick

Strong ties between forest owners and their land does not automatically translate into greater efforts to promote biodiversity. The current system of voluntary protection also risks overlooking the most valuable natural areas, according to a new doctoral thesis from Lund University. The study is based on interviews with 23 forest owners in southern Sweden. Many express a clear and emotional connec

A landmark study led from Lund, Sweden, has shown that transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side effects directly linked to the transplanted cells were seen during the first year of follow up. The results are published in Nature Medicine. In Parkinson’s disease, patients lo

The most advanced engines are not found in airplanes, cars or other machines - they are found in nature. Inside our cells, tiny protein motors power everything from cell division to muscle movement with an efficiency and precision that has fascinated researchers for decades and inspired long-standing efforts to replicate them. Now, scientists have taken an important first step. An international re

Flower-rich road verges may attract hungry bumblebees, but at the same time they risk being dangerous for the buzzing insects – if the traffic is too heavy. This is shown in a new research study from Lund University in Sweden. The new research examined the role that roadsides play for bumblebees. The results show that road verges can be a dangerous environment for insects searching for food. The t

The story of the Ukrainian music scene since the Russian invasion is one of resilience. Even if it has meant playing in the underground Metro, or in cold bomb shelters with no electricity, many musicians have found ways to continue their art.  Now, five classical musicians from Kharkiv, Ukraine, have been invited by Malmö Academy of Music to perform in Malmö.   In many ways, the sound of Ukraine l
