Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research. Since its establishment as a strategic research centre, the Lund Stem Cell Center has become one of the strongest

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leu

AI-chatten kan svara på frågor, översätta, skriva kod, eller författa en spännande novell. Möjligheterna fascinerar och kanske oroar en del, men vad är ChatGPT? – I mina ögon fyller chat-botten främst två funktioner; som coach och som produktivitetsverktyg, säger Björn Svensson, studierektor och universitetsadjunkt i informatik på Ekonomihögskolan.

För tio år sedan verkade det som en sanning. Då lanserade läkemedelsbolaget Pfizer "Exubera", ett insulin som skulle inhaleras. Men sagan blev kort, bara ett år efter lanseringen 2006 drog Pfizer till många

Det är fem gånger mer än bland det genetiskt lika sårbara broderfolket i Mexiko. Pimafolkets situation i USA är ett åskådligt men tragiskt exempel på konsekvenserna av en kraftfull kollision mellan arv och miljö. Pimaindianerna kom från norr

Innovation och framgångsrika lärosäten går hand i hand. På rak arm är det svårt att komma på något välrenommerat universitet som inte är duktig på innovationsfrågor. Vid Lunds universitet har vi under lång tid arbetat med innovationsfrågor på många olika sätt, inte minst vad gäller forskningsresultat som i sin tur resulterat i företag i form av start-ups. Många av dessa företag har även kunnat ta

When the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the world in 2020, the mRNA vaccines came to the rescue of many people – but in the background there was another, lesser known, hero: the lipid nanoparticle. Without these tiny “fat droplets”, the vaccines could never have been delivered into the body’s cells. And the fact is that these small particles will probably have more assignments in the future. It co

Frontotemporal dementia begins relatively early compared to other forms of dementia. We still know relatively little about what causes the disease, however, new research from Lund University in Sweden shows that the folds in the brain that are formed in the latter stages of pregnancy could have an impact on the age at which the disease takes hold. Those affected by frontotemporal dementia usually
