Women have stronger immune systems than men and are less likely to suffer from cancer and infectious diseases. Despite this, the majority of people who develop autoimmune diseases are women. How does biological sex actually affect our immune system? Already early in life, the immune systems of girls and boys differ. For example, girls who are born prematurely have a better survival rate than boys.

A healthy brain is associated with a longer life, while ageing is the greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. But what distinguishes healthy ageing from disease-related ageing? It is a complex question that researchers are working to answer. "We know a great deal about how age affects brain function, but we know virtually nothing about the underlyin

By freezing your own healthy blood stem cells in your twenties, thawing them out, and undergoing a stem cell transplant in your forties or fifties, it might be possible to rejuvenate your blood-forming system and immune system. Science fiction? At least it works when old mice receive new healthy blood stem cells from young mice. Mice live only a couple of years at most. That makes them suitable to

– A PhD Defense Interview with Christina-Anastasia Stamouli For Christina-Anastasia Stamouli, an interest in biology, genetics, and the molecular foundations of life began early, and led her to journey from Greece to Lund to pursue a PhD. At Lund University, her research has focused on generating human interneurons for cell replacement and disease modelling to better understand and treat neurologi

Gribonika Group Our research Defined physical borders are not only set between countries, but also between our living self and the outside environment. Our body’s borders are the mucocutaneous barrier organs such as the skin and the gut that are the very first battlefields when facing an infection or injury. Of note, every barrier organ is also inhabited by a diverse community of beneficial microb

– A PhD Interview with Ninoslav Pandiloski Nearly half of the human genome consists of repetitive DNA, once dismissed as “junk.” During his time as a doctoral student at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center, Ninoslav Pandiloski combined epigenetics, stem cell models, and bioinformatics to study these repetitive DNA sequences, known as transposable elements, and their role in human brain develop

S. Karlsson Group Our Research We are studying the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in order to understand how signaling pathways, transcriptional mechanisms and epigenetic regulators govern stem cell behavior to determine stem cell fate options. Integrative signaling and transcriptional networks act in concert to determine whether hematopoietic stem cells remain quiescent, proliferat
