Stem cell transplantation is a cornerstone in the treatment of blood malignancies. In order to succeed, stem cells need to be harvested from a donor. This requires that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) are mobilized from the donor’s bone marrow into the blood. In a new study, the Nilsson lab discovered DNA sequence variants that regulate HSPC levels in human blood, exposing potential

Growing forests can limit climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their biomass as they grow. How much carbon a forest stores varies between tree species, the forests age, weather conditions and how the forest is managed. Young growing forests store a lot of carbon, as the forest gets older the carbon sequestration capacity decreases. When trees are f

Nanoparticles can be used to detect certain lung diseases. The AiDA measurement method – based on the inhalation of nanoparticles – is easy to use and can complement other lung examinations. The method has now been tested on over 800 people, and the results look promising, according to a new thesis in aerosol technology. Measuring the structure of the lung is difficult; even lung scans cannot reli
