Novel approach identifies ‘young’ stem cells in old mice
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

Sustainable construction: How fungi research at Lund University could revolutionise infrastructure repair
Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support

New project fills knowledge gaps on the climate impact of hydrogen emissions
Hydrogen is expected to play an important role in the transition to a climate-neutral society. Although hydrogen is not a greenhouse gas with a direct climate impact, there are large knowledge gaps about its indirect impacts on the climate and environment. The Horizon Europe-funded research project HYway aims to fill these gaps. We spoke to David Wårlind from Lund University who is leading one of

"A different kind of social work"
Jan Magnusson, lecturer at the School of Social Work, has recently returned after visiting the School of Social Work, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) in Mumbai. One of the purposes of the trip was to learn more about their work in Ladakh, a region devastated by flashfloods in 2010. The School of Social Work has had a partnership with TISS since 2010, and Jan Magnusson, associate professor

In the wake of the pandemic: new methods of cancer care
A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment were modified. Now a group of physicians at Lund University want to evaluate how these new forms of treatment were experienced by the patients themselve

Future research methods can benefit from the use of apps that include the patients´ perspectives on their own health
Professor Johan Sundström has contributed to the development of new apps which makes it possible to extract research data from patients´ perspectives on their own health and allows electronic informed consent. Johan Sundström is a professor of epidemiology at Uppsala University and executive board member of Epihealth. In addition to his research activities, Johan works part-time as a clinical card
How can the EU fix global trade?
The single market of the EU is often hailed as the number one success story of European integration, and it is one of the reasons why the EU is seen as a law-making machine. Single market laws are partly focused on competition law, which sets out to ban state aid and other interventionist practices in order to create a level playing field among the EU’s businesses. But when these businesses enter
