A hot topic among cancer researchers is vesicles, nanoparticles that flow in our veins in their billions and which have proven to hold information on the health status of the body. Now the hope is to be able to capture and decode the messages in the vesicles via a standard blood test. Thomas Laurell, professor of biomedical engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, was recently appointed as a dis

Gustavo is a mechanical engineer from Colombia. During his master's studies, Gustavo got the opportunity to conduct an internship in Lausanne, Switzerland. In Lausanne, he worked in orthopedics and studied the mechanical response of knee implants for total knee replacements using numerical modeling. When Gustavo came home from Lausanne, he was offered a PhD position at the University of Eastern Fi

SWEAH affiliated Arianna Poli, at Linköping University, is defending her dissertation entitled "A Divided Old Age through Research on Digital Technologies". Having access to and being able to use digital technologies is crucial for participating in today digital societies, but the access and the use of digital technologies are unequally distributed among older people.  Groups of older people in lo

In a week or so it’s time for the National graduate school on ageing and health, SWEAH's biennial conference for affiliated researchers. For some, the first real event in a scientific context awaits. But what should you pack, wear and what else is good to think about? SWEAH's research administrator Stina Elfverson, with extensive experience as a tour guide, gives her best tips. She started as a to

Lack of choice, clashing views and time pressure are findings in a first article on welfare technology, from the Welfare@home project, which includes SWEAH PhD student Samantha Svärdh, Lund University. Her second article gives us information about four different challenges. – Older adults and staff were often given devices without being involved in the decision. We also saw that technologies that

A major breakthrough in the development of stem cell-derived brain cells has put researchers on a firm path towards the first ever stem cell transplantations in people with Parkinson’s disease. A new study presents the next generation of transplantable dopamine neurons produced from stem cells. These cells carry the same properties as the dopamine neurons found in the human brain.

A large number of lungs donated yearly cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Skåne University Hospital and Lund University have conducted an animal study with results that give hope that more donor lungs could be used to save lives in the future. The researchers have started a pilot study to investigate if the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 190 or

Never before so much data has been produced within life sciences. At the same time, computing power, artificial intelligence and other technology necessary to handle data have been greatly improved. The theme of this year’s WCMM Research Day held on April 12th in Lund, was artificial intelligence (AI) in medical research. A widely discussed topic that has opened up endless amounts of new opportuni

As you probably know, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has granted funding of SEK 20 million to the Program for Academic Leaders in Life Science (PALS). The program is a collaborative effort with the four WCMM Centers, SciLifeLab and the DDLS program and follows the success and track record of the previous WCMM and SciLifeLab collaboration termed NMMP (National Molecular Medicine Fellows Progr

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct
