Researchers at Lund University have designed a new bioink which allows small human-sized airways to be 3D-bioprinted with the help of patient cells for the first time. The 3D-printed constructs are biocompatible and support new blood vessel growth into the transplanted material. This is an important first step towards 3D-printing organs. The new study has been published in Advanced Materials. Chro

In a collaborative study with other European research groups, scientists from Lund University in Sweden have shed new light on how the protein aggregates that accumulate in the Parkinsonian brain may contribute to neuronal injury during disease progression. The study is published in Cell Reports. The brain is a complex organ composed of billions of neurons, whose proper function is dependent on a

In a recent study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center uncover developmental differences in the molecular machinery of the cells that maintain the blood system. These findings provide new insights into how the blood system develops throughout life and identify mechanisms that, if disrupted, may lead to malignancies. The study is published in Cell Reports. The body makes several million blood ce

Johan Jakobsson and his team tries to understand how the human brain is so different in complexity and size to the brains of other great apes, even though our coding genome is almost identical. In an attempt to answer that, they used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to generate neural progenitors from both humans and chimpanzees, which is our closest living relative in evolutionary terms.
