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

S. Karlsson Group Our ResearchWe are studying the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in order to understand how signaling pathways, transcriptional mechanisms and epigenetic regulators govern stem cell behavior to determine stem cell fate options.Integrative signaling and transcriptional networks act in concert to determine whether hematopoietic stem cells remain quiescent, proliferate

Larsson Group Our researchThe focus of the research in the Larsson group is to define genes and pathways that regulate human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and to develop novel strategies for ex vivo stem cell expansion to enhance current cell therapies of hematological disorders. Over the last few years the laboratory has developed strategies to screen for modifiers of self-renewal/proliferation

Artner Group Our Research Diabetes results from loss or dysfunction of insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. Despite insulin injection treatment, diabetic patients suffer from long-term complications, such as blindness and kidney failure. Therefore, a central goal of diabetes research is to regenerate pancreatic beta cells or produce large numbers of functional beta cells for transplantati

Pera Group Our Research  In our research, we are studying extracellular signals in embryonic development and cancer. Particular emphasis is given to mechanisms that regulate pattern formation and collective cell migration in the vertebrate embryo. The neural crest is a multipotent and highly motile cell population that arises at the border of the neural plate, delaminates and colonizes a wide vari

Pronk Group Our ResearchToday, we cure about 85% of children with cancer. In some subgroups, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), cure rates exceed 90%. Treating pediatric cancer patients is characterized by balancing of anti-tumor actions with treatment related morbidity/mortality. Many patients suffer from treatment toxicities during or following completion of treatment, sometime with a l

Rönnstrand Group Our ResearchThe focus of our laboratory is to understand the molecular mechanisms of cancer, specifically acute leukemia and malignant melanoma. In particular, in acute myeloid leukemia, oncogenic mutations in the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 is commonly occurring and correlates with poor prognosis of patients. For this reason, several selective inhibitors of FLT3 have been devel

Scheding Group Our researchHuman bone marrow (BM) contains the hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) as well as a rare population of non-hematopoietic bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSC). The HSCs are responsible for the life-long production of the different blood cells, whereas BMSCs generate skeletal tissues and give rise to the hematopoietic microenvironment (HME).HSC and BMSC closely interact with

Soneji Group Thousands of single-cells can be profiled using next generation sequencing technologies, and this leads to a massive amount of data which needs processing and analysing to determine the underlying biology of the samples assayed. Key to this is data visualisation, and a common step is to generate "maps" of cells which make the data human-comprehensible. The maps are often constructed i

Wagner Group Our research Over three million people die each year and over 60 million people suffer worldwide from chronic lung diseases (CLDs). Currently, there is no cure for CLDs, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary fibrosis. Lung transplantation is the only option at end-stage disease and is further complicated by shortage in organs ava

Woods Group Our ResearchHematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are rare cells in the body that possess the ability to generate vast numbers of a multitude of specialised blood cell types required for our survival. HSCs are first generated in the early embryo and undergo a series of maturation processes that ultimately give rise to their key adult features of self-renewal, blood cell generation, and trans

Miharada Group Our Research Many of biological activities in cells, for example differentiation and proliferation, are regulated at different levels. In addition to the classical “Central dogma” flow (DNA to RNA to protein), modification of proteins and metabolic change could critically affect cellular character and fate. Stem cells – having self-renewal capacity and multi-lineage differentiation
