Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people. In recent years, ketamine has emerged as a new treatment for depression, after studies have shown it to be a fast-acting antidepressant. “

Previous research from Lund University has shown that diabetes can be divided into five groups with different disease progression. A new study published in Nature Genetics demonstrates that there are also genetic differences between different groups of patients. An important goal of the research is to contribute with knowledge that will enable tailored treatments of patients with type 2 diabetes.

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

Immune Thrombocytopenia, ITP, is an autoimmune bleeding disorder that is still treated with immunosuppressive drugs that cause serious side effects. Professor John Semple’s laboratory studies the pathophysiological mechanisms behind this disease and together with Dr. Drew Provan, London, UK, has recently published the newest ideas on pathological mechanisms and therapies for the treatment and mana

Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralise hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whose name has become synonymous with universal cure. The understanding of bacterial toxin and antitoxin mechanisms will be crucial for the future success

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care. However, there are still significant challenges in the identification of cancer cell surface proteins as targets for immunotherapies. A research group

Every person ages, yet only some develop Parkinson’s Disease, and scientists still don’t know why. A new international effort involving a research team from Lund University aims to uncover what makes certain aging brains more vulnerable than others, focusing on the epigenetic changes that accompany growing older. Their work is supported by a new 81 million SEK grant from the Aligning Science Acros

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University, have discovered that a population of B cells formed shortly after birth store long-term immune memory and, in mice, can give rise to leukemia much later in life. Published in Cell Reports, the findings reveal how immune events at the very beginning of life can leave lasting biological imprints, linking early development to disease in old a

The STEM PD clinical trial, a stem cell–based approach for Parkinson’s disease, is entering a new phase in its development. In May 2026, Cellular Intelligence, an AI native biotech company, announced that it has acquired global rights from the Danish pharmaceutical company, Novo Nordisk, to further advance the clinical development of the STEM PD programme.

When research findings are ready to make the leap from the lab to the patient, the requirements become much stricter. That is precisely where many promising projects start to falter. “We want to be the bridge between research and the patient, so that promising projects don’t get stuck in that difficult transition,” says Sara Nolbrant, director of the new pre-GMP facility. And with that, she disapp

A landmark study led from Lund, has shown that transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side effects linked to the transplanted cells were seen during the first year of follow up. The results are published in Nature Medicine. In Parkinson’s disease, patients lose nerve cells in
