I framtiden kan lokalt skördade byggmaterial bidra till att bygga fastigheter med betydligt lägre miljöpåverkan än i dag. I ett nytt projekt undersöks möjligheterna för ett cirkulärt fasadsystem som byggs med material som hampa, träfiber och fårull. Den svenska byggsektorn står idag för 50 procent av användningen av råvaror och 35 procent av avfallsproduktionen. Dessutom är sektorn beroende av imp

Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center highlight the importance of controlling viral elements that reside in the genome and how their activation during development may contribute to brain disorders later in life. Around 10% of the human genome is composed of DNA sequences originating from viruses that infected our ancestors throughout the millions of years of our evolution. Under normal conditions

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

The Christmas Gift of the Year is chosen to represent the time we live in. It should be either a new product or one experiencing a resurgence in interest, and it must generate significant sales revenues or sell in large quantities. Perfumes date back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, where they symbolized status rather than gender. While fragrances became more gender-specific during the 20th cen

Recent discoveries have shown that it is possible to convert one cell type into another, typically by forced expression of lineage specific transcription factors. That is why MultiPark researchers with expertise in reprogramming gather across research groups. Cellular reprogramming is a new special interest group (SIG) addressing scientific and technological needs to apply these methods in researc
