A landmark study led from Lund, has shown that transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side effects linked to the transplanted cells were seen during the first year of follow up. The results are published in Nature Medicine. In Parkinson’s disease, patients lose nerve cells in

When researchers at Stem Cell Center investigated how the molecule UM171 works, a molecule used to make blood stem cells multiply, they made an unexpected connection. The results provide new insights into how one of the most common malignant brain tumours in children could be treated in the future. UM171 is a synthetic molecule developed by researchers at Université de Montréal. In stem cell resea

MACSima, developed by Miltenyi Biotec, is our new fully automated spatial biology system. It is capable of mapping hundreds of protein and RNA biomarkers within a single tissue section at subcellular resolution. The platform enables highly multiplexed spatial analysis of proteins directly in tissue and cell samples, providing new opportunities to explore cellular identity, organization, and intera

Researchers at Lund University show that blood stem cells during early development are considerably more flexible than corresponding cells in adults. The findings provide new knowledge about how the immune system develops and may also contribute to understanding why certain forms of childhood leukemia are thought to originate before birth. All blood and immune cells are formed from blood stem cell
