Agnete Kirkeby is working to repair the brain with stem cells. “The goal of our research is to understand how the human brain is formed and how it functions. And how we can repair it by generating new cells in the lab.” Agnete Kirkeby is one of the reserchers at Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine at Lund University (WCMM LU). This autumn, every week, we present a fellow at the center.WCMM at

Should patients with separate variants of type 2 diabetes be treated with different types of drugs? Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital will attempt to answer that question in a new study. Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world. It is estimated that over 300 million people have the disease globally.“Current treatment methods are unfor

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.
