Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate

By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs.

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Life is like a marathon. According to Dr. Anders Björklund, a pioneer and expert in cell replacement strategies for patients with Parkinson’s Disease, so is life in academia. Along his scientific run he has passed several milestones, the most recent being a jubilee honorary doctorate awarded by Lund University in celebration of his decades of contributions to neuroscience. We sat down with Anders

Researchers from Lund University interested in understanding how aging affects the brain have made a new discovery that will help make it easier to study age-related brain diseases and potential treatments in the future. The key to this? human skin cells. The human brain is often likened to the night sky. Look up and one will see billions upon billions of stars. Our brains are similar in that with

Astronomdagarna is a conference that gathers astronomers from across Sweden. It was held in Lund during October 2-4, 2024, with over 120 people attending.  The national conference Astronomdagarna is held every other year, with different universities taking turns on hosting the conference.  Back in 2022 the Astronomdagarna conference was held in Gothenburg.  Last time the conference was here in Lun

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

In a recent paper, Nicholas Borsato, along with collaborators Jens Hoeijmakers, Bibiana Prinoth, Brian Thorsbro, and Rebecca Forsberg, provides insightful research on the complex atmospheric composition of the exoplanet KELT-9b. The team captured the exoplanet's spectra during transit, revealing numerous elements within its atmosphere.This study not only verifies the presence of previously known e

The European Space Agency Buissness Incubator Center (ESA BIC) hosted a meet-and-greet event at Ideon on April 25th.  Local professionals got to know more about ESA BIC and about a few of the ongoing space projects in Lund. This was well received by the people attending the event, and rumor has it that ESA BIC will arrange more such events in the future.

Astronomers invited members of the public to look at the spring skies through the teaching telescopes. There are a number of both historical and modern telescopes at Lund Observatory.  Usually these are used for teaching purposes but every now and then the astronomers decide to stay at work late into the evening in order to give members of the public the chance for some stargazing. This spring thr

  There is so much more to space than just rocket science. So said Deborah Lygonis, CEO Friendbase AB and Investor Relations, Innovatum, at a national hybrid lunch meeting titled ”The Future of the Space Industry”, which was jointly organised by ESA BIC and Women In Space Sweden (WISS) on May the fourth. She went on to explain how the space industry loosly divides into ’Upstream’ (including rocket
