The European Space Agency Buissness Incubator Center (ESA BIC) hosted a meet-and-greet event at Ideon on April 25th. Local professionals got to know more about ESA BIC and about a few of the ongoing space projects in Lund. This was well received by the people attending the event, and rumor has it that ESA BIC will arrange more such events in the future.

Astronomers invited members of the public to look at the spring skies through the teaching telescopes. There are a number of both historical and modern telescopes at Lund Observatory. Usually these are used for teaching purposes but every now and then the astronomers decide to stay at work late into the evening in order to give members of the public the chance for some stargazing. This spring thr

There is so much more to space than just rocket science. So said Deborah Lygonis, CEO Friendbase AB and Investor Relations, Innovatum, at a national hybrid lunch meeting titled ”The Future of the Space Industry”, which was jointly organised by ESA BIC and Women In Space Sweden (WISS) on May the fourth. She went on to explain how the space industry loosly divides into ’Upstream’ (including rocket

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
