Lund Stem Cell Center provides researchers with access to core facilities equipped with the latest technologies, specialist expertise and instruction on the use of the different equipment. Over time these facilities have evolved to form the well-developed technological infrastructure which exists today. Earlier this year, the Center, in partnership with MultiPark, took the next step in the evoluti
In June, pediatric cancer experts from 16 countries gathered in Brussels for the annual meeting of the NOPHO-DB-SHIP consortium—an EU-wide collaboration working to improve outcomes for children with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). In Sweden, the trial is coordinated by Lund University and Skåne University Hospital. At the center of this collaboration is the CHIP-AML22 trial—an international phase II

EU:s vetenskapliga råd för klimatfrågor går in i en ny fas när den första fyraårsperioden avslutas i mars 2026. Nu har rådets nya medlemmar presenterats, och Lars J Nilsson, professor i miljö- och energisystem vid LTH, fortsätter att vara en av representanterna. Klimatrådet, European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change, ESABCC, har en viktig roll i att följa och bidra till utvecklingen av

Dagligt intag av en mjölksyrabakterie, som fått namnet Lactobacillus plantarum HEAL19, ser ut att kunna förebygga fetma och minska kroppens så kallade låggradiga inflammation.

Cancerpatienter som tog emot ett negativt sjukdomsbesked upplevde läkarna som mindre empatiska än patienter som fick ett mer positivt besked. Lundaforskarna bakom studien tror dels att det handlar om rollen som budbärare av ett så negativt besked. Men också om att läkare i en slimmad vårdorganisation tenderar att tappa bort mottagandet av patientens känslor. I studien ingick 186 cancerpatienter vi

Nu är vi ungefär en tredjedel igenom EU:s ramprogram för forskning och innovation – Horisont Europa (2021–2027) – och kan börja se trender över hur det går för Lunds universitet och våra forskare. I universitetets nya forskningsstrategi 2023–2026 är målsättningen att LU ska bli Sveriges främsta deltagare i EU:s ramprogram, såväl sett till antal projekt som beviljade medel. Hittills når också Lunds

With the Research Data Office, the University is working to improve support for researchers in the management of research data. Each faculty now has a data steward to assist researchers in their work with research data. The new Research Data Office will better support researchers in managing their research data according to legal requirements and security standards. This is achieved through techni

Global warming has meant that diseases such as West Nile fever, NTM infections, and new tick-borne viruses are on their way or have already taken hold in Sweden. People are being affected by new diseases, and challenges for the health system are increasing. Among other things, everything is prepared to start screening blood donors for West Nile fever in Region Skåne in southern Sweden. Tropical di

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the health care system was strained already before the coronavirus crisis. Lack of intensive care units and respirators and the difficult economic situation in most African countries limit the resources to combat the pandemic.

Last month, Ella Quist defended her Ph.D. thesis. After beginning her research journey as a master’s student within our Ph.D. Preparatory Program, she dedicated the last several years to developing more efficient methods that can be used to generate functional and mature astrocytes for disease modeling of neurological disorders. In this interview, we learn more about her efforts to facilitate futu

An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20 000 genes in the human body control their growth. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied close to 15 000 of these genes alongside each other. The researchers have succeeded in identifying four key genes which, together, govern the growth and multiplication

Superconductors are a cornerstone of quantum computers and particle detectors, among other things. However, a common problem is that their efficiency is degraded by various interferences. Now, researchers have come one step closer to explaining what is happening through high-precision measurements. The results are now being published in Nature Physics. Superconductivity depends on the presence of
