In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination – the recipe – for each type of immune cell. Our immune system consists of different typ

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

Six researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have been awarded SEK 13.4 million from the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund, Barncancerfonden, in its latest funding round. The projects address key challenges in childhood cancer, from understanding how the disease develops to designing treatments that are more precise and less harmful for young patients. In total, Barncancerfonden is inves

At any given time, more than 2 billion natural killer cells patrol the adult bloodstream as frontline defenders, protecting against infections and cancer. In a recent study published in Blood Advances, researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center present a comprehensive developmental map of human NK cells and their regulatory networks. Natural killer (NK) cells, named for their rapid res

Scientists at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new understanding of how the first blood cells form during human development as they transition from endothelial cells to form blood cells of different types. Using a laboratory model of human stem cell development and by looking at the expression of blood cell and endothelial cell genes in each individual cell, they found a progression from

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There are ways to
