One previously unproven theory is that there are several different types of connective tissue cells with different functions, which affect the development of the tumour in different ways. Now, a research team at Lund University in Sweden

Each year approximately four thousand people in Sweden are diagnosed with lung cancer and nearly as many die each year from the disease. It is the fifth most common form of cancer in Sweden and the one which claims the most victims. At Lund University researchers are working on finding new methods to diagnose and treat the disease. Despite the fact that lung cancer is such a large-scale problem th

Early in the morning there was the sound of explosions and the sky lit up. Since 24 February 2022, Lund University has stood in solidarity with Ukraine’s universities. Are there lessons to be learned from the period when Kiev’s largest university had to rapidly adapt to war and a humanitarian crisis? This is an article from LTHIn (the Faculty of Engineering). LTH and Lund University recently recei

Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research. Since its establishment as a strategic research centre, the Lund Stem Cell Center has become one of the strongest

Raquel Garza Gómez is a Ph.D. student at Lund University, who will be defending her thesis on January 19, 2024. With a background in computational biology, Raquel's research focuses on studying the role of transposable elements in the human brain. Transposable elements refer to DNA sequences capable of moving from one part of the genome to another. Her research aims to provide a better understandi

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Inflammation is a natural reaction of the body’s immune system to an aggressor or an injury, but if the inflammatory response is too strong it becomes harmful. Inflammatory processes occur in the brain in conjunction with stroke and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers from Lu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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

Some time ago, I was asked, “What does Lund University want in terms of AI and research?” At first, I was a little surprised and thought, is the University to have an explicit position on this? But then I started thinking about the University’s other clearly-stated ambitions. We want to be a “world-class university,” we want to “understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.” S

What happens when 200 high school students step inside a research center for a full day of science? Curiosity ignites, questions multiply, and for many, new futures begin to feel possible. At the end of March, Lund Stem Cell Center welcomed students from Lars Erik Larsson gymnasiet in Lund, Söderslättsgymnasiet in Trelleborg, and Malmö Borgarskola, Malmö Latinskola, and Sjölins Gymnasium in Malmö

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther

“Do you want to see what a box jellyfish sees and experiences when it rides a roller-coaster?” “We humans believe that what we see is reality, but it isn’t. It is an eminently human reality, filtered through our eyes. The visual world of animals shows different realities”, says Dan-Eric Nilsson.
