In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination – the recipe – for each type of immune cell. Our immune system c

Rare diseases pose a major challenge for the healthcare system, as their diversity and low prevalence make it difficult to build up sufficient knowledge regarding diagnosis and treatment. Sweden is now working to establish a national quality registry to collect information on all rare diseases. The aim is to ensure more equitable healthcare. In Sweden, over half a million people live with a rare c

In March this year, LINXS received a new organisational placement within the Faculty of Science. Rather than being part of the Department of Chemistry, LINXS is now established as a separate unit reporting directly to the Dean. The decision follows a strategic review and an external evaluation of the organisation conducted last year, both of which yielded very positive results.Established in 2017,

The areas of research remain the same, but our perspective on them has changed. This is how consumer researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Emma Samsioe describe developments in retail research over the past ten years. "In one of our latest reports, we call it “Retail as unusual”. There is no longer a ‘normal’ state in retail, no ‘business as usual’. Everything has become more uncertain,” says Carys Egan

Together with Amy Lutz (Syracuse University), CMES researcher Dalia Abdelhday has authored the article "Perceptions of success among working-class children of immigrants in three cities", available online in the journal Ethnicities. This article examines the subjective understanding of success among members of three groups of children of immigrants from Mexico, North Africa and Turkey, in Dallas,

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The rise of sectarianism in the Middle East and North Africa after the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq has led to a new conceptual category – arguably as political as it is religious – which Rola El-Husseini has previously termed the ‘new Shi’a’. In this formulation, groups not traditionally associated with Twelver Shiism,

Hantering av långvarig sjukdom. Effekter av fysisk aktivitet. Bostadens betydelse för ett bra åldrande. Spännvidden är stor i de ämnen som SWEAH:s tolv nya doktorander djupdyker i. Tolv nya doktorander har anslutits till den nationella forskarskolan inom åldrande och hälsa. Vid ett digitalt introduktionsmöte i början av året fick de chans att lära känna varandras forskningsprojekt. Sofi Sandström

To address the lack of evidence regarding the links between housing, relocations, and health along the process of ageing, CASE-researchers for the first time linked comprehensive person and housing data available from population registers in Sweden.

Researchers at Lund University have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish Envir

Polymer nanowires remain conductive after lithography-free manufacturing enabling an excellent path for intracellular bioelectronic manipulation of stem cells and algae. A new study spearheaded by NanoLundians Damien Hughes and Martin Hjort presents a simple, yet efficient way to bring conductive polymers into a nanowire shape suitable to interface with living cells – and even allowing them to get

Net zero emission pledges by countries and companies are everywhere at the moment. Most of these pledges rely on massive amounts of carbon removal, yet details on how this will transpire remain largely absent. The COP26 agreement suggests that markets will play a central role, but there are significant problems with this approach. Carbon removal, also known as “negative emissions”, is the process
