Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a novel target for the expansion of human blood stem cells ex vivo and shed light on the mechanism of action of a stem cell promoting molecule, currently in phase II clinical trials. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a curative therapy for many patients suffering from life threatening blood disorders. This treatment is currently limit

Researchers from Lund University have developed a promising new method for delivering biomolecules into human blood stem cells using nanotechnology. With little to no detrimental effects on target cells, this novel approach has great potential for research and clinical applications. The discovery and development of therapeutic biomolecules - such as the gene editing technology CRISPR - has rapidly

Neuroscientists and stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a research model that allows studying human hippocampal neurons, the brain cells primarily affected by Alzheimer’s disease pathology. The study has been published in Stem Cell Reports. In Alzheimer’s disease the hippocampus, a brain structure that regulates motivation, emotion, learning, and memory, is severely a

With two articles published in quick succession from his time as a research fellow at Cambridge University, UK, Christopher Douse has moved to Lund Stem Cell Center to develop a research programme on newly-discovered guardians of the human genome. More than half of the human genome consists of transposons, DNA sequences that can ‘jump’ around within the genome. Left unchecked these elements can ca

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.
