In order to be able to prescribe the appropriate dose of physical activity to patients, healthcare professionals need to consider a range of individual factors. There is a need to facilitate the assessment of aerobic capacity i. e. maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max), as well as to calculate the intensity of training according to the WHO recommendations for physical activity. Now, researchers

Researchers at Lund University and Lund Stem Cell Center have generated human mini bones in the lab which mirror the composition and function of human bone. The results published in Science Translational Medicine detail this step toward the future development of patient-tailored, personalized models of bone cancers and tumors. On average, the adult body consists of 206 bones. Housed in the center

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies. Chronic myeloid leu

In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers Gabriele Cobucci and Armin Tavakoli present a new method to analyze a complex form of quantum entanglement involving multiple particles. The new method opens a door to a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics, a field known for its strange and often counterintuitive phenomena. Quantum entanglement, where particles are coupled together so

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to extreme heights during a full moon, seemingly catching insects in the moonlight. And, during a lunar eclipse, the birds simultaneously lost altitude. The results are published in Current Biology. The b
