On 14 October 2022, Jessica Giacomoni will defend her Ph.D. thesis. With the ultimate goal to develop a possible, future alternative to cell transplantation for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, her research efforts have focused on the direct conversion of human glial cells into therapeutic neurons directly within the brain. Here, she tells us about future possibilities with this emerg

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

16-19 June, 2025 Chinese globalisation both past and present has been deeply entangled in processes of global extractivism that have underpinned industrialisation and capitalist development around the world. From the 19th century gold rushes in settler colonial contexts to the contemporary global scramble for lithium, Chinese labour and capital have been key to the making of our contemporary globa

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. When algae and bacteria with different swimming gaits gather in large groups, their flocking behaviour diminishes, something that may reduce the risk of falling victim to aquatic predators. This finding is presented in an international study led from Lund University in Sweden. When algae and bacteria with different sw

NK cells, or natural killer cells, play an important role in the body’s defences against cancer and various infections. Now, in a joint project, researchers at Lund University in Sweden, the University of Oxford and Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm have mapped how the different steps of the maturation process of these supercells from blood producing stem cells in the bone marrow are regulated: k

Long life is common among bird parents that get help with childcare. This finding comes from researchers at the universities of Lund and Oxford who reviewed data from more than 9,000 studies. Being a parent can be tough. In general, animals that care for many offspring die young, at least in species where parents are not helped by others. However, in some species things are different and parents r

High above us, the atmosphere is teeming with life. Birds, bats and insects share the airspace, but divide it into different lanes of traffic. New research from Lund University in Sweden reveals how the atmosphere is an ecosystem, with complex ecological processes that affect how animals move between different altitude levels. We often consider the air as simply a void – but it is in fact alive an
