In a collaborative study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center and University College London have developed a novel method of isolating ‘young’ stem cells still present in old mice. They show that activity of mitochondria, the power generators of the cell, is a stronger indicator of stem cell fitness than age and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of age associated disease. The

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden studied self-grooming rats in order to better understand how the brain chooses what comes next in a sequence of actions. The study shows that when they switch from one action to the next in the grooming chain, the signalling in different parts of the brain changes. The results, published recently in Science Advances, increase understanding of which processe

A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment were modified. Now a group of physicians at Lund University want to evaluate how these new forms of treatment were experienced by the patients themselve

Diabetes is currently treated using incretin hormones to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other medical issues that the illness can trigger. Now researchers from Lund University in Sweden have noted new links between these hormones and arteriosclerosis, and believe their discovery could be significant for treatment of diabetes in the future.

It has long been known that the choice of shoe, surface and type of sport can all be contributing factors when someone suffers an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now observed that genes also play a decisive role. By analysing data from the Swedish Twin Register along with data from the Swedish National Patient Register, researchers were able to see

Researchers at Lund University have shown that a group of proteins are crucial for smooth muscle function in the gastrointestinal tract. A lack of these proteins leads to a lethal condition called intestinal pseudo obstruction in mice. The findings play a major role in our knowledge of organs that are dependent on normal smooth muscle function such as blood vessels, airways and bladder. The study
