Återhämtning sker både på och utanför arbetet. Den kan delas upp i antingen olika sorters pauser eller aktiviteter som ger dig ny energi. Lina Ejlertssons doktorsavhandling pekar på att återhämtning under arbetsdagen är centralt för vårt välmående, och en bra gemenskap på arbetsplatsen med starka och trygga relationer ger goda förutsättningar för återhämtning hos medarbetarna. – För att kunna pres

På senare år har det gjorts stora framsteg i utvecklingen av nya framgångsrika immunterapier för att behandla cancer. Så kallad CAR-T-cellbehandling och behandling med antikroppar är två typer av målriktade immunterapier som har revolutionerat delar av cancervården. Men än kvarstår stora utmaningar med att identifiera proteiner på cancercellers yta som mål för immunterapier. En forskargrupp i Lund

Våra dendritiska celler (DC) är immunsystemets vaktposter och de patrullerar våra kroppar efter bakterier, virus eller cancerceller. När DC hittar en främmande partikel bryter de ner den i mindre bitar – antigen - och presenterar bitarna på cellytan för immunförsvarets mördarceller. På så vis lär sig mördarcellerna vilka smittoämnen och cancerceller som de ska söka upp och döda. I flera studier ha

Med inspiration från den enorma kraftsamling som placerade Neil Armstrong på månen 1969, lanserade Joe Biden 2016 – då vicepresident och nu president i USA – forskningsprogrammet Cancer Moonshot. En grupp forskare vid Lunds universitet är del av satsningen och publicerade förra året två vetenskapliga artiklar om en atlas över proteiner som uttrycks i melanomtumörer. Flera lärosäten och sjukhus run

På bara en dryg vecka har en ny studie om hur Pfizer BioNTechs covid-19-vaccin (BNT162b2) påverkar humana leverceller i odlingsskål väckt stort intresse. Studien har hittills fått nästan 800 000 läsningar och resultaten sprids i sociala medier, där den i flera fall även misstolkas. Men vilka resultat handlar det om, och hur ska de förstås? Två av forskarna bakom studien, professorerna Yang de Mari

Anna Fossum, projektledare på forskningsinfrastrukturen StemTherapy FACS Core Facility, har sorterat celler med olika typer av FACS-maskiner i 23 år. Men tröttnat på jobbet har hon inte gjort - tvärtom. Nu har hon fått en ny och mer kraftfull medlem i FACS-familjen att sköta om. – Jag älskar mitt jobb! Det är stimulerande att träffa så många människor och höra om deras olika forskningsprojekt. Man

Det är tisdag eftermiddag på patologen i Lund och cancerforskare David Gisselsson Nord sitter framför sin dator och studerar ett detaljerat foto av en njure. Njuren kommer från en sexårig pojke och har opererats bort efter det att han diagnostiserats med Wilms tumör - en cancerform som nästan uteslutande drabbar barn under sex år. – Men man kan leva med endast en, eller delar av en njure utan att

After a five-year pause, the Lund Stem Cell Center’s outreach initiative Taking Science to Schools – Borrow a Scientist has returned, once again bringing researchers face-to-face with students across southern Sweden. In March 2025, nine researchers from the Center visited more than 100 students at Malmö Latinskola, Filbornaskolan in Helsingborg, and Söderportgymnasiet in Kristianstad. The sessions

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University have developed a stem cell-based therapy that rejuvenates the aging blood and immune systems in mice without harsh treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. The findings recently published in the journal Nature Communications is a step toward safer, non-toxic treatments for age-related blood disorders and immune decline. As we age, the s

Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism
