Changes occur in all cells of the human body as we age. Blood stem cells, in particular, lose some of their functionality over time, contributing to various blood disorders and disease-related conditions. Scientists are investigating the reasons behind this decline. According to a recent study by researchers from the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University, published in Nature Aging, the genetic
Researchers from Lund University interested in understanding how aging affects the brain have made a new discovery that will help make it easier to study age-related brain diseases and potential treatments in the future. The key to this? human skin cells. The human brain is often likened to the night sky. Look up and one will see billions upon billions of stars. Our brains are similar in that with

How do you make the regional craft beer industry more sustainable? Through direct collaboration with the sector to create “hyperlocal” solutions say researchers from LUCSUS who are growing hops at a local brewery in Skåne, Sweden. The aim is to test ways to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to regional, circular economies. WATCH VIDEO: – We are testing different indoor growing alte

Why are there hundreds of jumbled human bones in the ground at Uppåkra? That is one of the mysteries that archaeologists at Lund University hope to be able to solve in the next few years. They will be aided by the latest DNA technology. A quiet calm rests over Uppåkra, just outside Lund. The only sound under the enormous tent canvas that has been hung just next to an old pigsty – which incidentall

Presently many of Sweden’s 20,000 Parkinson’s patients are not receiving the treatment they need, and many of the most seriously ill receive incorrect or inappropriate therapy. With the new Manage PD tool and the PD Pal study, Per Odin, professor at Lund University and senior attending physician at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, hopes to be able to improve the care of Parkinson’s patients.

Bakgrunden till att en stamcellsdonator eftersöks är nästan alltid en malign blodsjukdom, som olika former av leukemi. De flesta säger ja direkt – självklart vill jag försöka rädda livet på mitt syskon. Men att donera stamceller är så mycket mer än en livräddande insats och medicinsk överföring av nödvändiga celler. Den känslomässiga insatsen är ofta hög, och donationen kan väcka stora existentiel

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leu

Scientists all over the world agree: the earth is getting hotter and hotter and extreme weather such as heat waves or prolonged droughts create a greater risk of forest fires.

After screening 15 000 women over a period of five years, a major clinical study in Sweden has shown that 3D mammography, or breast tomosynthesis, detects over 30% more cancers compared to traditional mammography – with a majority of the detected tumours proving to be invasive cancers. The extensive screening study was conducted by Lund University and Skåne University Hospital in Sweden, and the r
