On 13th of February, a transplant of stem cell-derived nerve cells was administered to a person with Parkinson’s at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden. The product has been developed by Lund Stem Cell Center researchers at Lund University and it is now being tested in patients for the first time. The transplantation product is generated from embryonic stem cells and functions to replace the dopamin
A research group at Lund University in Sweden has found that when the HLF (hepatic leukemia factor) gene –which is expressed in immature blood cells – does not shut down on time, we are unable to develop a functional long-term immune system. This could be a very early stage of leukemia. Blood stem cells give rise to all of our blood cells: the red blood cells that transport oxygen, the platelets t

Professor Lars Lind uses the EpiHealth cohort to investigate why people with diabetes have a higher risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases and how genetic factors can contribute to this. He is trying to map a diabetes profile to find mechanisms which can instigate the development of a therapy in the future. Lars works at the Department of Medical Sciences at Uppsala University and

Climate change education in schools and universities tends to focus on environmental facts, whilst little room is given to inner dimensions of change and to collective action. The CLARITY project co-led by IIIEE launches a coached self-paced course to address these challenges by enhancing educators’ skills. Teachers & educators! Our new training on teaching climate change with both care and impact

Two researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been awarded almost EUR 5 million in total from the European Research Council. One of the research projects focuses on the early growth of diatoms in the ocean 250 million years ago, and the subsequent global effects of the algae growth. The other grant will go towards research on the automatic control necessary to create fossil-free cities. Daniel
