Huntington disease is fatal inherited brain disorder, usually emerging during mid-life. Although there is currently no known cure, the Molecular Neurogenetics group at Lund Stem Cell Center aims to understand the defective cellular processes leading to the progression of this disease. Characterised by symptoms including impaired motor and cognitive function, Huntington disease is caused by the exp

Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be able to produce different types of neural cells for the treatment of neurologica

Neurogenesis, the process by which new neurons are formed, dramatically declines in the aging brain. A research group from Lund Stem Cell Center have published a study that sheds light on the different factors contributing to this loss, particularly the role of inflammation. “One of the focuses of our research is on what goes wrong in the brain during aging” explains Henrik Ahlenius, principle inv

Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a novel target for the expansion of human blood stem cells ex vivo and shed light on the mechanism of action of a stem cell promoting molecule, currently in phase II clinical trials. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a curative therapy for many patients suffering from life threatening blood disorders. This treatment is currently limit

Researchers from Lund University have developed a promising new method for delivering biomolecules into human blood stem cells using nanotechnology. With little to no detrimental effects on target cells, this novel approach has great potential for research and clinical applications. The discovery and development of therapeutic biomolecules - such as the gene editing technology CRISPR - has rapidly

Neuroscientists and stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a research model that allows studying human hippocampal neurons, the brain cells primarily affected by Alzheimer’s disease pathology. The study has been published in Stem Cell Reports. In Alzheimer’s disease the hippocampus, a brain structure that regulates motivation, emotion, learning, and memory, is severely a

For its fourth edition of All My Relations, the Ecocamp transforms into a nomadic experience. This year, we embrace movement—not just as a physical act, but as a metaphor for existence itself. Walking, travelling, and traversing landscapes will be central to our practice, fostering new connections on the move and reflecting on migration, transition, and relational encounters.
