Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made a new discovery about how the human genome protects itself from disruption during critical stages of life. Their study, recently published in Nature Communications, reveals how two key defense mechanisms—DNA methylation and the HUSH complex—work together to safeguard genomic stability. The human genome contains large stretches of rep

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies. Chronic myeloid leu

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct
