Taha Sen’s PhD thesis focus on the life span of red blood cells and elucidates the important role of mitochondria. He is defending his thesis on the 17th of November and in this interview he gives us an overview of his results as well as what it’s been like being a doctoral student during a pandemic. Can you tell us about the research during your PhD? I’ve been focusing my thesis work on the life

Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease make up the world’s most common diseases. A new biobank at Lund University in Sweden - the largest of its kind - with stem cells from both those affected and healthy individuals, will contribute to an increased understanding of how these diseases arise. “The goal is for researchers to be able to develop new treatments that can p

Supported lipid bilayers are formed at a faster rate on light-guiding nanowires of high curvature than on conventional planar substrates, with single-vesicle resolution that proves their potential for studying relevant cellular phenomena. This is shown in a recent study by researchers Julia Valderas, Ruby Davtyan, Christelle Prinz, Emma Sparr, Peter Jönsson, Heiner Linke, and Fredrik Höök. “We des

Remnants of plastic left by humans can now be found practically everywhere in nature – in waterways, within animals, and even amidst the clouds. In her thesis, Micaela Mafla-Endara examined how nanoplastics that end up in the soil affect the microorganisms living there. The answer is clear: there is an effect on the organisms and how they behave. One could say that Micaela Mafla-Endara and her tea

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Resultatet av två stora amerikanska studier för nästan 30 år sedan var på många sätt banbrytande. De bevisade att intensiv blodsockerkontroll avsevärt minskade risken för komplikationer. Det var inte så förvånande men att effekten skulle kvarstå flera år var svårt att förklara. Det kunde handla om ett ”metabolt minn

Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj

I strokemodeller på möss, har forskare lyckats återställa förlorad hjärnfunktion med hjälp av små molekyler som i framtiden kan utvecklas till strokeläkemedel. ­– Efter stroke förändras kommunikationen mellan nervceller i stora delar av hjärnan och vi visar att den delvis återställs med behandlingen, säger Tadeusz Wieloch, seniorprofessor i neurobiologi vid Lunds universitet. –  Samtidigt återfår

In certain situations it is used, in others, not. We take a look at the use of the academic quarter at LUSEM today and share some background on where the tradition comes from. The classic explanation is that in times past the students did not necessarily own watches and had to rely on the church bells to know what time it was. When you heard the bells of Lund’s cathedral strike the full hour, you

A recent report by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) identifies 24 places across the world that are hotspots for deforestation - and where forests are under threat. A staggering over 43 million of hectares were lost in these areas between 2004 and 2017 - an area roughly the size of Morocco. Torsten Krause, who research
