With two articles published in quick succession from his time as a research fellow at Cambridge University, UK, Christopher Douse has moved to Lund Stem Cell Center to develop a research programme on newly-discovered guardians of the human genome. More than half of the human genome consists of transposons, DNA sequences that can ‘jump’ around within the genome. Left unchecked these elements can ca

In a collaborative study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center and University College London have developed a novel method of isolating ‘young’ stem cells still present in old mice. They show that activity of mitochondria, the power generators of the cell, is a stronger indicator of stem cell fitness than age and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of age associated disease. The
