For two decades, researchers at Lund University's strategic research area, Lund Stem Cell Center, have focused on developing and refining stem cell research to improve human health. Now that the 20th anniversary is approaching, it is time to reflect on the progress made and the possibilities that researchers see for stem cell research in the future. Stem cells can make any inventor green with envy

Researchers from Lund University, led by Dr. Laurent Roybon, are working to further define underlying mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple System Atrophy. Their latest discovery, published in PNAS, could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as these, as well as other synucleiopathies in the fu

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

A Swedish multi-centre study led by researchers at Lund University shows a link between low fibre consumption and the presence of unstable or high-risk plaque in coronary arteries – the type of plaque that can trigger blood clots and cause heart attacks. The study also links dietary pattern to the composition of the plaques, i.e. how potentially dangerous they are. Using advanced cardiac imaging,

After a huge response with over 60 creative name suggestions from students and staff at the faculty, the decision has now been made: the Astronomy Building is getting a new name and will step into the future as Universum! In the coming years, the building will be developed into a natural meeting place for the natural sciences, bringing together the study centre, faculty management, the faculty off

Emily Sonestedt investigates how food affects the health and the risk to develop type 2 diabetes. This knowledge is of importance to society when developing food-based dietary guidelines. It can be hard to make healthy food choices. The bread rolls behind the counter in the café at Clinical Research Centre (CRC) in Malmö have a dark color, but it does not have to mean that they are a healthy choic

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How do you feel when you spend a large proportion of your waking hours noting facts about a planet in crisis? What is it like when every day you take a long, hard look at issues concerning global warming and the loss of biodiversity? Quite OK despite everything, is the answer when the question comes up during the Clim

Is there any underlying biological explanation for why men are responsible for such a large proportion of sexual assaults compared to women? Or, from a biological point of view, could women just as easily have been the ones to commit this type of harassment and assault, if the social and historical power structure wer

A novel research report maps how workers are experiencing efforts to decarbonise the steel industry in Sweden. It identifies how people’s expectation of change is marked by previous transitions, that blue- and white-collar workers view transitions differently, and how work is a source of great pride to people.

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that
