Nordin Group Our researchThe intestine, lined by a complex epithelial layer, is essential for nutrient absorption and barrier function. The intestinal epithelium is constantly renewed by highly proliferative intestinal stem cells. Disruption of the intestinal homeostasis contributes to disease, inflammation, and impaired tissue regeneration. However, it remains challenging to fully recapitulate th

Saredi Group Our researchOur lab investigates how chromatin is assembled and remodelled and how it maintains the integrity of the human genome. Chromatin is a highly dynamic structure that is continuously reorganised during DNA replication, transcription, and DNA repair – processes that are essential for preserving genetic information and cell function. These transitions are coordinated by special

Subramaniam Group Our researchProteostasis is an essential biological process and plays a major role in the regulation of stem cells. We are particularly interested in the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS), which plays a crucial role in regulating the abundance of most cellular proteins. Substrate specificity in this system is governed by a large family of around 600 E3 ubiquitin ligases, which di

G. Karlsson group Our ResearchThe production of blood cells, hematopoiesis, is maintained by a small number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that have the capacity to differentiate into all hematopoietic lineages, and at the same time self-renew to maintain the HSC pool. These properties make HSCs essential for maintaining hematopoietic homeostasis and for reconstitution of patients during treat

It is Thursday morning and time for the miniature brains to have lunch. The temperature in the cell incubator is a comfortable 37 degrees, perfect for a tiny brain. Anna Falk prepares the nutrient solution that the cells need to grow. These are cells that have made the remarkable transformation from skin cells to stem cells and then to brain neurons. The small model of the brain is called an organ

Women have stronger immune systems than men and are less likely to suffer from cancer and infectious diseases. Despite this, the majority of people who develop autoimmune diseases are women. How does biological sex actually affect our immune system? Already early in life, the immune systems of girls and boys differ. For example, girls who are born prematurely have a better survival rate than boys.

A healthy brain is associated with a longer life, while ageing is the greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. But what distinguishes healthy ageing from disease-related ageing? It is a complex question that researchers are working to answer. "We know a great deal about how age affects brain function, but we know virtually nothing about the underlyin

By freezing your own healthy blood stem cells in your twenties, thawing them out, and undergoing a stem cell transplant in your forties or fifties, it might be possible to rejuvenate your blood-forming system and immune system. Science fiction? At least it works when old mice receive new healthy blood stem cells from young mice. Mice live only a couple of years at most. That makes them suitable to

Gribonika Group Our researchDefined physical borders are not only set between countries, but also between our living self and the outside environment. Our body’s borders are the mucocutaneous barrier organs such as the skin and the gut that are the very first battlefields when facing an infection or injury.
