Addgene is a global, nonprofit repository that helps scientists share plasmids, DNA-based research tools that are widely used in the life sciences. Researchers whose plasmids have been distributed to other scientists 100 times or more are recognized with Addgene’s Blue Flame Award. Among this year’s recipients are, Henrik Ahlenius and Isaac Canals. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that s

We are pleased to announce a course organized by LUSEM in collaboration with colleagues from Hanken School of Economics in Finland. Titled Behavioral Economics of Beliefs and Misperceptions, the course will explore key topics through a series of online and hybrid lectures. The course covers field experiments, the use of registers, and surveys—offering deep insights into how beliefs and mispercepti
Den 13 februari genomfördes den första stamcellstransplantationen i studien STEM-PD. Det är den första av åtta patienter med Parkinsons sjukdom som får nya dopaminproducerande stamceller transplanterade och det är första gången cellerna testas kliniskt i patienter. Transplantationen genomfördes vid Skånes universitetssjukhus och produkten som transplanterades har utvecklats av forskare vid Lunds u
How long does it take to comfort someone? Does an egg need to be fried rather than boiled?

How credible are research results? A new biology study shows that the same data can give different answers depending on the method of analysis used – raising questions about the stability of scientific conclusions. To strengthen credibility, researchers need to be better at accounting for their methods. Ever since the 17th century, when modern scientific research was born, methods have been refine
