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
We are happy to announce that Sandeep Gopal, a researcher within the Department of Experimental Medical Sciences at Lund University, has now joined Lund Stem Cell Center. In his new role as Principal Investigator and leader of the research group on Extracellular Signaling and Cell Fate, he aims to better understand how extracellular molecules control cell fate and cell behavior. Previously based i

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate

By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs. Paul Bourgine is

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Life is like a marathon. According to Dr. Anders Björklund, a pioneer and expert in cell replacement strategies for patients with Parkinson’s Disease, so is life in academia. Along his scientific run he has passed several milestones, the most recent being a jubilee honorary doctorate awarded by Lund University in celebration of his decades of contributions to neuroscience. We sat down with Anders
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

Efter flera års arbete har Kirik och hans samarbetspartners lyckats ta fram ett helt nytt instrument som ”hyperpolariserar” molekyler och därmed gör dem möjliga att spåra med magnetresonansavbildning (MRI). Det nya instrumentet är det enda i sitt slag i Norden och tekniken öppnar upp en helt ny värld av möjligheter för att i detalj studera hur nervceller fungerar. Projektet har möjliggjorts genom

Researchers at Lund University have lately received a lot of attention for their work on a new stimulation method, using ultra-thin microelectrodes, to combat severe pain. This provides effective and personalised pain relief without the common side effects from pain relief drugs. The study, 3D microelectrode cluster and stimulation paradigm yield powerful analgesia without noticeable adverse effe
